Why Suffer When You Can Gain Significant Relief With A Spinal Orthotic Support To Relieve Back Pain?

If you, or someone you know or love is suffering with low back pain you should seriously consider seeking pain relief by using harmless comfortable, pain relieving, offloading spinal low back orthotic supports.

What is an orthotic support?

An orthotic is a rigid supportive structure, the most effective would be lined with an alloplast material, a soft latex type foam which pads and to some degree, ventillates or acts to cool the area that it is lbeing addressed. The orthotic applies a gentle force -pressure- to the affected area to offload or relieve pressure causing pain to the area that is or might be caused by an injury, deformity, degenerated or degenerative or musculoskeletally diseased anatomic structure, like the low back or the area of the lumbar spine.

Why use an orthotic support vs. other medical treatments?

Even the best and most high tech established methods of medical treatment for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, radiculopathy, lumbago, stenosis are effective but not without measurable levels of medical risks. A really popular method of medical pain relief through a clinical medical procedures the targeted Epidural Steroid Injection, or ESI. This is probably one of the best and most effective means of treating many clinical presentations of low back pain. It also has its limitations. Patients generally must undergo general anesthesia, which has its own risks and potential complications.

The procedure may normally cause a dramatic spike, or sudden sharp increase in blood glucose, or sugar levels, increasing the risk of post procedural onset of diabetes for some patients who may already present certain clinical risk factors for the condition. Patients who may have diabetes should probably avoid these procedures altogether. Most physicians would normally offer other means of pain control like offloading support orthotics for their patients with diabetes. As effective as ESI's are, most patients could only safely receive three or four of these treatments per year.

This is just one of the many reasons why patients suffering with low back pain due to herniated discs, sciatica, radiculopathy, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, facet syndrome, lumbar instability, lumbar sprain or strain, or lumbago, or any of the 'ABC LITANY' of common causes of low back pain need to use an offloading lumbar support orthotic.

It is a harmless means of obtaining non narcotic, non-surgical and non-invasive back pain relief. It is comfortable, custom fit, covered by Medicare, and private insurance. The vast majority of patients acquire guaranteed pain relief.
