Serving patients across North and South Carolina—including our Columbia, SC location—we offer personalized care and advanced technology tailored to each patient's unique needs.
What Are Spinal Orthotics?
Spinal orthotics are devices designed to support, stabilize, or correct spinal deformities and injuries. They are commonly used to manage conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal fractures, and post-surgical recovery. By limiting motion and providing structural support, spinal orthotics help alleviate pain, promote healing, and improve overall spinal function.
Types of Spinal Orthotics
We offer a range of spinal orthotic devices, each tailored to specific needs and conditions:
Cervical Orthosis (CO)
Designed to support the neck, cervical orthoses help limit movement and provide stabilization for conditions like cervical sprains, whiplash, and post-operative recovery.
Cervicothoracic Orthosis (CTO)
These devices provide support to both the neck and upper back, often used for more severe injuries or conditions affecting the cervical and thoracic regions.
Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis (TLSO)
TLSOs offer comprehensive support to the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions of the spine. They are commonly prescribed for conditions like scoliosis, post-operative stabilization, and spinal fractures.
Lumbosacral Orthosis (LSO)
Focusing on the lower back and pelvic area, LSOs are used to manage conditions such as lumbar sprains, degenerative disc disease, and post-surgical recovery.
Rigid Cervical Collar
A rigid cervical collar is a spinal orthotic device designed to immobilize the neck and support the cervical spine following an injury or surgery.
Sternal Occipital Mandibular Immobilizer (SOMI)
The Sternal Occipital Mandibular Immobilizer (SOMI) is a type of cervical orthosis designed to provide immobilization and support for the cervical spine, particularly after severe neck or upper spinal injuries.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Orthotics
Spinal orthotics can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including:
- Scoliosis: A lateral curvature of the spine that can be managed with corrective bracing.
- Kyphosis: An excessive outward curvature of the spine, leading to a hunchback appearance.
- Spinal Fractures: Injuries to the vertebrae requiring stabilization during healing.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: The breakdown of intervertebral discs leading to pain and instability.
- Post-Surgical Recovery: Support following spinal surgeries such as fusion or laminectomy.
- Muscle Weakness or Paralysis: Conditions leading to instability requiring external support.
Benefits of Spinal Orthotics
- Pain Relief: By limiting motion and providing support, spinal orthotics can alleviate pain associated with various spinal conditions.
- Improved Posture: Corrective bracing can help improve spinal alignment and posture.
- Enhanced Mobility: Stabilization of the spine allows for safer movement and activity.
- Support During Healing: Spinal orthotics aid in the healing process following injuries or surgeries by providing necessary support.
