Lumbosacral Back Braces are utilized to provide support to the lumbar and sacral aspect of the spine. These braces provide added support for patients who suffer from lumbosacral pain due to muscle sprains, disc herniations, facet joint arthritis, spinal arthritis, and post back injury & fracture. Some braces also provide compression and warmth to the lower back and upper pelvic areas utilizing various fabrics.
It has been estimated that of 18 million Americans currently having low back pain, 8 million are partially disabled and 2.4 million are totally disabled.
