Lets start with the basics. Pain is a posture problem and posture is a lifestyle problem which needs a lifestyle cure.
Braces work for your teeth because there are no muscles there and you don't have joints in your teeth - they don't move individually. So called 'posture braces' restrict your natural movement. Your body needs more, not less movement!
Notice how the girl in the picture on the right has her right shoulder higher than her left! (click on the picture to enlarge)
A brace is not going to address the elevated right shoulder, because the brace doesn't understand why it's there and can't address the cause. If 'muscles move bones' (and they do!), then you need to remind the muscles what they are supposed to be doing in order to put the bones back where they belong.
An Egoscue exercise (or e-cise) program will treat the whole body, addressing the specific compensations and dysfunctions present.
