Daily chiropractic adjustments, therapy and determination made it possible to walk on crutches to the bathroom instead of crawling. I began wearing the brace as soon as I could move to a sitting position – a positive happening in my life. The brace has been my saving salvation and I would not be without one." –Wayne Zemelka, IAPain Area:Abdominal, BackConditionsSpinal Stenosis,Spondylolysis; Sciatica; Degenerative Disc; Prolapsed disc; Osteroarthritis of the Spine; OtherLumbarsacral Support BenefitsHelp Stabilize the spinal joints.Increase motion of joints in the spine.Changes/adjusts weight off the spine and distributes to rest of the body decreasing pressure on the spine.Helps Control Abnormal Spinal curves.Lumbar supports can help with arthritis, herniated discs, minor fractures, and a protruding abdomen.Provides an awareness of correct posture.Can decrease over active or unwanted abdominal and/or spinal muscular activity.Can allow patient to be more active than without a support in some instances.Fitting LandmarksWaist (True Waist) Soft Tissue area between bottom of rib cage and top of hip bone.Very top lateral aspect of hip bone.Very top of crease of buttocks.Groin.Measurement InformationMeasure True Waist.Snug Fit Measurement: Devices are sized at a compressed fit.Measuring loose vs skin tight can be 2-2 ½ inches.Hip Measurement:Measure at fullest part of the buttocks.Approx: Across the groin area in the front.Fitting The SupportFitted starting in the back and finishing in the front.Support Should be centered on the back.Bottom of support should be at the crease of buttocks.Any straps should be below the breast line.Back of support should be at least 2" below the shoulder blade and front top edge should not compress on the bottom of the sternum (chest bone).Pull straps out away from body and then cross.Normally straps fit right over left.Add compression from bottom to top.Where you apply the external straps can have an effect on the location of compression.Post Fitting:Sit down to check fitting that it does not dig into the groin.Body length will shorten when sitting so make sure the support is lined up properly.The support should not catch and dig under shoulder blade, irritate the breast line or dig into the groin area.When removing, decrease compression from top to bottom.When removing, disengage the Velcro straps and attach them at the posterior of the support near the strap origin.Depending on your condition, the application of the device may need to be done by a secondary care-taker or significant other.
