Lumbar-Sacral Orthoses (LSO) for Spinal Support and Stability
At Palmetto Orthotics and Prosthetics, we understand the importance of maintaining spinal stability and support for individuals with back pain, injuries, or conditions that affect the lumbar and sacral regions. Our team of experienced professionals provides customized Lumbar-Sacral Orthoses (LSO) to help alleviate pain, improve posture, and promote proper spinal alignment.
What is a Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis (LSO)?
A Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis (LSO) is a type of orthotic device designed to provide support and stability to the lower back, sacrum, and pelvis. It is typically worn as a back brace or corset to help alleviate pain, reduce strain on the muscles, and promote proper posture.
Benefits of LSOs
Wearing an LSO can provide numerous benefits, including:
- Reduced back pain: By providing support and stability to the lower back, LSOs can help reduce muscle strain and alleviate pain in the lumbar region.
- Improved posture: LSOs can help correct poor posture habits by providing gentle correction to the spine and pelvis.
- Increased mobility: By reducing pain and discomfort, LSOs can enable individuals to engage in daily activities with greater ease and confidence.
- Prevention of further injury: LSOs can help prevent further injury to the back by providing support and stabilization during physical activities.
Types of LSOs
