Cervical Spine and Back Orthoses

Cervical Spine Brace (Cervical Collar):

A cervical spine brace, commonly known as a cervical collar, is a medical device designed to provide support and immobilization to the neck and upper cervical spine. It is used to restrict motion in the neck and relieve strain on the cervical vertebrae, muscles, and ligaments. Cervical collars are often prescribed for individuals recovering from neck injuries, surgeries, or conditions that require stabilization, such as whiplash, cervical fractures, or cervical spondylosis.

Back Brace (Lumbosacral Orthosis or Lumbar Brace):

A back brace, also known as a lumbosacral orthosis or lumbar brace, is a medical device designed to provide support, stability, and compression to the lower back and lumbar spine. It is used to alleviate pain, reduce pressure on the spine, and support the lower back muscles. Back braces are commonly prescribed for individuals with conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, or as part of post-surgical rehabilitation. They help improve posture and reduce stress on the lower back, promoting healing and comfort.
