Back Braces

Back braces are prescribed for different reasons like soft tissue injuries, post surgical fusions or as severe as spinal fractures. We stock shelf items like, elastic pull wraps such as the Medac range and the Triback from Royce Medical. For these braces an appointment needs to be made and then you are measured for your size. For the custom made Moulded Bennett and TLSO braces we either take a plaster cast of your body or we enter your measurements into our Tracer CAD system. Your brace is then made in our laboratorium and supplied on your next appointment. We do corrective bracing for scoliosis and kyphosis deformities. In this situation we need to cast you with plaster and then correct the positive cast and then manufacture the corrective brace. X – rays needs to be taken before and after your appointment with your orthotist to determine the improvement of the curve. In situations where the curve of the scoliosis is higher than your 7th thoracic vertebrae, we need to give the patient a Milwaukee brace, which has a super structure that extends to the chin.
