The Lumbar Scoliosis Brace: A Solution for Spinal Degeneration
Overview
Scoliosis, a lateral curvature of the spine, is a progressive condition that often requires intervention. Although exercises may offer some improvement, their long-term effectiveness remains uncertain. The lumbar scoliosis brace is a key tool in supporting the spine and preventing further deterioration.
Function and Benefits of the Brace
A lumbar scoliosis brace aids in stabilizing the spine, helping to control the progression of scoliosis. Users are typically encouraged to perform specific exercises to enhance the brace's effectiveness, adapt to its presence, correct spinal deformities, and maintain muscle tone. Without these exercises, muscles may lose strength over time. Physical therapists often recommend daily routines that focus on the trunk and pelvis.
Common Types of Lumbar Scoliosis Braces
Here are some popular braces used to halt scoliosis progression:
Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral-Orthosis (TLSO) Brace
The TLSO brace, particularly the Boston brace, is a well-known option. Crafted from molded plastic, it is custom-fitted to the patient’s body and typically discreet under clothing. It applies three-point pressure to the spine to prevent further curvature.
Charleston Bending Brace
Designed for nighttime use, the Charleston Bending Brace is molded while the patient is bent to the side, applying targeted pressure to the spinal curve during sleep.
Cervico-Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral-Orthosis (Milwaukee) Brace
Similar to the TLSO, the Milwaukee brace includes a neck ring for additional support. It is worn continuously, with the exception of sporting activities.
In summary, while scoliosis is a challenging condition, lumbar scoliosis braces offer a viable means of controlling its progression and supporting spinal health. With proper use and complementary exercises, these braces can significantly aid individuals in managing their condition effectively.
