Understanding Spinal Braces

Spinal braces restrict or control movement in the spine, support healing after injury or surgery, and correct or prevent deformity progression. Steps Creators Dubai provides a full range of spinal orthoses for all conditions.

Types of Spinal Braces

Cervical Collars

Soft and rigid cervical collars immobilize the neck after whiplash injuries, cervical fractures, or post-surgical stabilization. Options range from foam collars to Philadelphia collars and halo vests.

Thoraco-Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis (TLSO)

The most common trunk brace, used for thoracic and lumbar fractures, post-operative stabilization, kyphosis correction in adolescents (Scheuermann disease), and chronic back pain management.

Lumbo-Sacral Orthosis (LSO)

Targets the lower back for conditions like disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and post-surgical recovery. Includes rigid and semi-rigid options.

Sacroiliac (SI) Belts

Narrow belts that stabilize the sacroiliac joint. Commonly used for SI joint dysfunction, postpartum pelvic instability, and mild lower back pain.

Custom vs. Off-the-Shelf

While off-the-shelf braces work for mild conditions, custom-molded braces provide superior fit and support for complex cases. Our specialist orthotists at Steps Creators fabricate custom spinal orthoses using plaster molds or direct-forming techniques.
