Back Brace Posted: 05-04-04 01:03am


Hello all... First time posting in here hope I do it right.... I have bulding disk, stenosis and general arthrtic problem in lumbar and thoracic region. The bad thing is im only 27 and not over weight... So far I have tried physical therapy and take muscle relaxers daily... Tomorrow im getting fitted for something called a lso. Not sure what to expect. It looks like something called california "soft spinal bracing system" has anyone tried this brace and how does it work... I'm a little concerned what will happen in bracing doesn't help... Any suggestions out there or does anytone know anything about this brace.

Hello, did you mean a tlso brace? If so I had to wear one for a year or so after my back surgery. Its a hard plastic molded brace.They actually fit you for one and make it to fit your body. It has a front and a back,you hook the 2 pcs together with the velcro straps on each side. Mine had 3 straps on the left and 3 on the right. It did take some getting used to but, after a while it was ok.It really helped at night because I turn alot. You will have limited mobility,in bending and twisting. Hope this helped blessings rachel

Chiropractic treatment for a variety of neuromusculoskeletal conditions is gaining wider acceptance among the medical profession. Because students of chiropractic spend significantly more time studying the spine than do medical students, many medical doctors recognize the value of chiropractors as the appropriate source for diagnosis of and first line of treatment for functional disorders of the entire musculoskeletal system. Medical doctors now categorize chiropractic manipulation with the highest rating: "generally accepted, well-established and widely used." spine, 1991. North american spine society. "a majority of family physicians (in washington) admitted having encouraged patients to see a chiropractor, and two-thirds indicated a desire to learn more about what chiropractors do." the journal of family practice, 1992. "family physicians and chiropractors: what's best for the patient?" " our trial showed that chiropractic is a very effective treatment, more effective than conventional hospital outpatient treatment for low-back pain ... Particularly in patients ... Who have severe problems." t. W. Meade, m.D. "the only difference that I can see is that the patients at john f. Kennedy get chiropractic manipulations. And in my experience, the patients at j.F.K. Almost without fail get out of the hospital in a week. At lutheran, it usually takes, oh, not uncommonly, 14 days." per frietag, m.D., an orthopedic surgeon, on why he prefers to admit his patients with back pain to john f. Kennedy hospital, which has staff chiropractors, rather than lutheran general, which does not have staff chiropractors. Manipulative medicine is no longer a taboo topic." norton hadler, m.D., self-described "cantankerous doctor who would have never dealt with manipulation in the past," professor of rheumatology, university of north carolina medical school at chapel hill, time magazine, 1991. "ten years ago if you practiced manipulation ... You couldn't get published and were never invited to meetings. Now I can't keep up with the invitations." neurologist scott haldeman. M.D., d.C. New york times. 1991. Material © healthy spine used by permission
