Cervical-Thoracic-Lumbar-Sacral Orthoses (CTLSO)

At Palmetto Orthotics and Prosthetics, we understand the importance of proper spinal alignment and support in maintaining overall health and well-being. Our team of experienced professionals specializes in designing and fitting custom-made spinal bracing solutions, including Cervical-Thoracic-Lumbar-Sacral Orthoses (CTLSO).

What is a CTLSO?

A CTLSO is a type of orthosis that provides support and stabilization to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine. This specialized bracing device is designed to help alleviate pain, reduce discomfort, and promote proper spinal alignment. The CTLSO is typically used to treat conditions such as:

  • Herniated discs
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Scoliosis
  • Trauma or injury to the spine

Benefits of CTLSO

Wearing a CTLSO can provide numerous benefits, including:

  • Reduced pain and discomfort
  • Improved spinal alignment and stability
  • Increased mobility and flexibility
  • Enhanced posture and balance
  • Reduced risk of further injury or degeneration

Features of our CTLSO

Our custom-made CTLSO features:

  • Lightweight and durable construction
  • Adjustable straps for a secure fit
  • Soft, breathable materials for comfort
  • Designed to accommodate individual patient needs and preferences
  • Regular adjustments and modifications available to ensure optimal fit

How is a CTLSO applied?

Applying a CTLSO typically requires a series of appointments with our experienced orthotists. During these appointments, we will:

  1. Conduct a thorough examination to determine the best course of treatment
  2. Take precise measurements of the patient’s spine and body shape
  3. Create a custom-made mold of the patient’s spine
  4. Fabricate the CTLSO using advanced technology and materials
  5. Provide instructions on how to properly wear, clean, and maintain the device
