Back Injuries

Each year over 4.5 million Americans are affected by back injury, disease and pain, which have become three of the top complaints heard by medical professionals. Back injuries have led to an enormous amount of lost workdays (second only to the common cold) and annually cost American industry about $10-14 billion in workers compensation.

ComfAlign^® Spinal Support

The ComfAlign^® Spinal Support is a type of back brace called a lumbosacral orthosis (LSO) because it embraces and supports the lower to middle part of the spine. An LSO is typically used to help limit the strain on the back and provide abdominal compression in occurrences of acute or chronic pain; however, it is also indicated for postsurgical support for such procedures as discectomies or spinal fusions.

Anatomy of the Spine

The spine serves many roles in human anatomy. It allows for erect posture and provides a protective, bony column for the spinal cord, support for the head and arms, as well as muscles, ribs and organs. Disruption of this delicate balance of form and function occurs with improper alignment or the presence of other pathological conditions.

VertAlign^® Spinal Support System

It will hold the back from an area between the shoulder blades ( scapulae) to a point just above the buttocks.
