Primary function of spinal brace

1, Protect and correct
Prevent and correct for progressive deformity of spine caused by imbalance of muscle , gravity or abnormal force that contracts the tissue deformation .Wearing spinal brace can improve poor posture of spine, and correct deformity of spine.

1.1Function : Based on three-point-pressure system
Ensure the stability of thoracolumbar lordosis
1.2.Indications : Conservative treatment and post-operative immobilization for spinal compression fracture
2, Immobilization and Support
Spinal brace can immobilize and support muscles that are weakened or paralyzed as well as unstable joint so that patient can sit or stand.So the injury site can be immobilized or kept in a comfortable position and function easily in order to prevent spinal instability, reduce complications and promote healing of ligaments and bones.
3, Eliminate or reduce pain
By means of limiting motion of spine and stabilizing the affected joint,it can reduce local pain and patients can walk and stand easily


3.1 Function:
Effective control head rotation by head gear, to stabilize cervical spine

Occipital gear maximum adjustable for various occipital bone types
3.2 Indication:
Emergency immobilization for acute cervical spine injury
4, Traction and bear free-load
Under help of pressure of the abdomen and chest with the respiratory motion ofbody's,the spine can be in traction on the longitudinal plane and bear free load. So it will be reducing the load-bearing among spines, helping promote subsided inflammation and healing of lesion or fracture,relieving oppression of nerve and spasms of muscle , increasing the strength.
But the side effects of spinal brace without the proper way of wearing.Like it may cause pain, osteoporosis inconvenient mobility, skin abrasions; Long-termwearing the spinal brace improperly might have atrophy of muscle , lowering lung capacity, consuming more energy in doing sports.Even some patients may have psychological dependence,improper way of wearing can exacerbate the disease or present with occult diseases.
