Braces to Wear After Surgery
TLSO
Thoracic-Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis
Used to stabilize the spine after surgery or for the healing of fractured vertebrae.
Semi-rigid TLSO
Semi-rigid Thoracic-Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis
Provides less coverage than a molded TLSO, above, and might also be used after a spinal injury.
Semi-rigid LSO
Semi-rigid Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis
Shorter than a TLSO and starts below your ribs. Used after lower-back surgery or injury, it allows more flexibility.
Braces to Wear After Surgery
TLSO
Thoracic-Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis
Many types of TLSOs are used to treat scoliosis. They are all custom-molded with padding to help prevent the scoliosis curve from getting worse over time.
CTLSO
Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis
May be custom molded or custom fit to support weakened or damaged areas of the spine and to stabilize unwanted curves.
Scoliosis Braces
Molded LSOs and TLSOs
Restricts movement and reduces stress on the spine, offering semi-rigid support. These braces are custom fit to each patient by shaping plastic panels held in place by fabric straps.
Cervical Collar
Offers support and restriction to your normal movements if you have suffered a neck injury. Some collars also cover your chest and upper back for more stability.
HALO
Offers the highest level of stabilization for the upper spine. Cranial pins attach a ring or “halo” to your head and metal supports connect that section to a molded brace on the upper back and chest.
