Healing from bone injury takes time. Lack of proper care can make the healing process longer and unbearable for patients, especially injuries of the lumbar area. Our back braces help to limit movement of the lower spine, thus enhancing the healing of the bone. Fractures and post-operative fusions, especially of the lumbar, need restricted movement that only our specialized back braces can guarantee. Our specialized braces come in two types: rigid and elastic (corset) braces.

Patients that have suffered a fracture of the spine will almost always need some type of rigid back braces for proper healing. Fusion surgery patients may also need rigid braces for speedy recovery.

While rigid back braces are generally uncomfortable for most patients – because they are heavy and can generate heat – we are constantly working with manufacturers to develop groundbreaking solutions to ensure that patients who use our braces are as comfortable as genuinely possible.

If properly fitted, our range of Lumbosacral back braces  can limit movement in the spine by up to 50 percent. They are best worn when the patient is upright or moving but may not be necessary when in lying position.

Elastic braces are usually recommended for post-operative fusion recovery. However, healthy individuals who do heavy lifting may also wear elastic back braces for proper back posture and injury prevention. Our elastic back braces are flexible yet sturdy enough to limit spine movement, thus allowing bone to grow better and faster. Elastic braces particularly restrict forward bending by the patient.

For heavy lifters, our elastic back braces help to keep the back straight – rather than bending forward – such that all the weight is transferred to the leg muscles, not the back.
