Spinal Orthotics: Comprehensive Support for a Healthy Spine

At MOBILITY Solution, we recognize the critical role your spine plays in maintaining overall health and well-being. Spinal orthotics, also known as spinal braces or back supports, are designed to provide stability, correct deformities, and relieve pain associated with spinal conditions. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or needing extra support during physical activities, our spinal orthotics are here to help you maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

What Are Spinal Orthotics?

Spinal orthotics are custom or off-the-shelf devices that support the spine, providing alignment, stabilization, and correction for various spinal conditions. These devices are commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, and other spinal deformities or injuries. They are also used post-surgery to ensure proper healing and prevent further damage.

Types of Spinal Orthotics

At MOBILITY Solution, we offer a variety of spinal orthotics tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Understanding the different types available can help you choose the right one for your condition:

  1. Cervical Orthoses (Neck Braces):
    These are designed to support the cervical spine (neck). They are commonly used after neck injuries, surgeries, or to manage chronic conditions such as cervical spondylosis. The brace helps immobilize the neck, reducing pain and allowing for proper healing.
  2. Thoracic Orthoses:
    Thoracic orthoses provide support to the upper back and chest area. They are often used for conditions like kyphosis, which causes an excessive outward curve of the spine, leading to a hunched posture. The brace helps correct posture and prevent the condition from worsening.
  3. Thoracolumbosacral Orthoses (TLSO):
    TLSO braces offer support to the entire thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions of the spine. These are typically prescribed for scoliosis management, post-surgical recovery, and conditions that require stabilization of the entire spine.
  4. Lumbosacral Orthoses (LSO):
    LSO braces focus on the lower back and pelvic area, providing support for conditions such as lower back pain, lumbar fractures, or degenerative disc disease. They help reduce pain and prevent further injury by stabilizing the lumbar spine.
  5. Hyperextension Braces:
    These braces are specifically designed to limit forward bending (flexion) of the spine while allowing some degree of extension and lateral movement. They are often used in the treatment of spinal fractures and osteoporosis-related compression fractures.

Fitment Process: Ensuring the Perfect Fit

The fitment of spinal orthotics is crucial to their effectiveness. At MOBILITY Solution, we follow a detailed process to ensure each orthotic device fits perfectly, providing the support and comfort you need:

  • Initial Assessment:
    The process begins with a thorough assessment of your condition by a qualified healthcare professional. This includes an evaluation of your spine's structure, any existing deformities, and the specific needs for support and stabilization.
  • Custom Measurements:
    If a custom-made orthotic is required, precise measurements of your spine and body are taken. These measurements are critical in ensuring that the orthotic fits snugly and provides the necessary support without causing discomfort.
  • Fitting Session:
    Once your orthotic is ready, you will be scheduled for a fitting session. During this session, the orthotic is placed on your body, and adjustments are made to ensure it fits correctly. The healthcare professional will guide you on how to wear the device and make any necessary modifications.
  • Adjustment Period:
    It’s normal to experience an adjustment period when first wearing a spinal orthotic. During this time, you might need to visit your healthcare provider for follow-up appointments to ensure the orthotic is fitting well and providing the desired support.
  • Ongoing Care and Maintenance:
    Regular check-ups are important to ensure that the orthotic continues to fit properly as your body changes or as your condition improves. Proper care and maintenance of the orthotic, such as cleaning and storage, are also essential to prolong its lifespan and effectiveness.

Benefits of Using Spinal Orthotics

  • Injury Prevention: Whether you're an athlete, a manual laborer, or someone recovering from spinal surgery, spinal orthotics can help prevent injuries by providing the necessary support during physical activities.
  • Enhanced Mobility: Contrary to common belief, spinal orthotics do not restrict movement. Instead, they stabilize the spine, allowing you to move more freely and with confidence.
