Cervical and Spinal Orthotics Asheville, NC
Cervical and Spinal Orthotics help people dealing with a variety of conditions ranging from hyperextension and vehicle accident injuries to hyperextension and scoliosis. A few of the devices we custom-build include:
- Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis (TLSO): Usually custom fabricated, typically a two-piece clamshell design. It extends from just below the collar bone down to the pelvis. It is used to immobilize the spine and decrease pain.
- Lumbosacral Orthosis (LSO): Like TLSOs, Lumbosacral Orthosis is used to immobilize the lower spine. The brace usually starts around the xiphoid process and extends down to the pelvis.
- Cervical Thoracic Orthosis (CTO): After an injury to the spine or spinal surgery, CTOs are used to stabilize and reduce motion of the head or neck.
- Hyperextension Orthosis: By applying three points of pressure, these braces help users maintain proper spinal posture, preventing flexion in the lumbar and thoracic spine.
- Adult Scoliosis Orthosis: To accommodate the sideways spinal curve associated with scoliosis, these plastic jackets are worn by patients around their torso with straps that keep the device in place as it works to help accommodate the spine.
Additional cervical devices include:
- Soft Collars
- Rigid Collars
- Halos
- S.O.M.I. Sterno Occipital Mandibular Immobilizer
