Advanced Spinal Orthotic Braces for Support, Stability & Recovery

Custom spine braces including HALO, SOMI, Milwaukee, Boston & TLSO for post-surgical care, immobilization, fracture support, and scoliosis management.

 

Customized Spine Braces Designed for
Healing & Alignment

Spinal orthotics provide critical support for stabilization of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions. They are essential for post-surgery immobilization, scoliosis correction, fracture management, pain reduction, and posture correction. Our custom-fabricated braces are designed to promote optimal healing while ensuring maximum comfort and functionality for daily activities.

Conditions Managed with Spinal Orthotic Braces

HALO Brace (Halo Vest / Halo Cervical Orthosis)

What is a HALO Brace?

The Halo Brace is a specialized cervical orthosis consisting of a metal ring secured to the skull with pins and connected to a rigid vest. It provides maximum immobilization of the cervical spine.

When is it Required?

Features & Benefits

Who is it Best For?

Patients with severe cervical spine trauma, fractures, or post-operative cases requiring absolute immobilization during the healing process.

S.O.M.I (Sternal Occipital Mandibular Immobilizer) Brace

Purpose of a SOMI Brace

The SOMI brace provides effective cervical immobilization through a three-point support system involving the sternum, occiput, and mandible. It offers superior control over flexion and extension movements.

Cervical Immobilization Advantages

Post-Surgical Usage

Commonly prescribed after cervical fusion surgery, laminectomy, or discectomy to protect the surgical site and promote proper healing.

Comfort Features

Adjustable straps, padded contact points, and lightweight design ensure patient compliance while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.

Clinical Fitting Process

Our P&O experts ensure precise adjustment of all three contact points for optimal immobilization without compromising patient comfort or skin integrity.

Milwaukee Brace (CTLSO
Brace)

What is a Milwaukee Brace?

The Milwaukee Brace is a cervico-thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis (CTLSO) featuring a pelvic girdle connected to a neck ring via vertical metal bars. It’s designed for comprehensive spinal support from the cervical to sacral regions.

Designed for Scoliosis & Kyphosis

Specifically engineered to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and thoracic kyphosis by applying corrective forces along the spine’s length.

How Correction Works

Vertical bars with strategically placed pressure pads apply three-point corrective forces, while the neck ring and chin support promote proper spinal alignment through active postural correction.

Recommended for Growing Children

Most effective during skeletal growth phases (typically ages 10-16) when the spine is still responsive to corrective forces.

Custom Fitting Method

Individual measurements and X-ray analysis ensure proper pad placement for optimal curve correction and patient comfort during extended wear periods.

Boston Brace

Purpose: Thoracolumbar Scoliosis Correction

The Boston Brace is the most commonly prescribed thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis (TLSO) for treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis affecting the thoracic and lumbar spine regions.

TLSO-Style Underarm Design

Unlike the Milwaukee brace, the Boston brace features an underarm design without neck support, making it more cosmetically acceptable and easier to conceal under clothing.

Comfortable & Discreet

Constructed from lightweight polypropylene with strategically placed foam padding to maximize patient compliance while maintaining corrective effectiveness.

3D Custom-Modelling Advantages

Advanced 3D scanning technology captures precise body contours, allowing for customized pressure distribution that targets specific curve patterns for optimal correction.

Daily Wear Guidelines

Typically worn 16-23 hours daily during active growth phases, with gradual weaning protocols as skeletal maturity approaches and curve stability is achieved.

TLSO Brace (Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis)

Ideal for Lumbar & Thoracic Support

TLSO braces provide comprehensive support and immobilization for the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine regions, making them versatile for various spinal conditions and injuries.

Spine Fracture Stabilization

Post-Operative Care

Essential for protecting fusion sites after spinal surgery, reducing stress on surgical hardware, and promoting proper healing during the critical recovery period.

Rigid and Semi-Rigid TLSO Options

Available in different rigidity levels based on clinical requirements:

Custom Fitting Method

Individual measurements and X-ray analysis ensure proper pad placement for optimal curve correction and patient comfort during extended wear periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spinal orthotic brace?
A spinal orthotic brace is a medical device designed to support, stabilize, or correct the spine. It can immobilize specific spinal regions (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or sacral) to aid healing after injury or surgery, correct deformities like scoliosis, or manage chronic conditions. Different types serve different purposes, from rigid immobilization (HALO, SOMI) to corrective support (Milwaukee, Boston) to fracture stabilization (TLSO).
The cost of spinal orthotics varies significantly based on the type, complexity, and customization level. Simple cervical collars may cost less, while complex custom-fabricated braces like HALO, Milwaukee, Boston, or TLSO braces are more expensive due to materials, fabrication time, and fitting expertise required. We recommend scheduling a consultation for accurate pricing based on your specific clinical needs. Many insurance plans cover medically necessary spinal orthotics with proper prescription.
Wearing duration depends on your specific condition and treatment goals. Post-surgical or fracture braces are typically worn for 8-12 weeks during initial healing. Scoliosis braces like Boston or Milwaukee may require 16-23 hours daily for 1-3 years during growth phases. Your physician and orthotist will create a personalized wearing schedule. It’s crucial to follow prescribed wearing times consistently for optimal therapeutic outcomes, with gradual weaning as healing progresses or skeletal maturity is achieved.
A properly fitted spinal brace should not cause significant pain. Initial discomfort is normal during the adjustment period (typically 1-2 weeks) as your body adapts. You may experience pressure sensations, minor skin redness, or movement restriction. However, persistent pain, severe discomfort, or skin breakdown indicates improper fit requiring immediate adjustment. Our custom fabrication and fitting process minimizes discomfort, and we provide follow-up visits to address any issues. Wearing thin cotton clothing underneath helps reduce friction and enhances comfort.
This depends on the type of brace and your treatment protocol. Many spinal braces, particularly for scoliosis correction (Boston, Milwaukee) or post-operative care, are designed for 23-hour wear including sleep. HALO braces are worn continuously. However, some TLSO braces for chronic conditions may be removed during sleep. Always follow your physician’s specific instructions. Using appropriate pillows for support, wearing smooth cotton clothing, and maintaining proper sleeping positions can improve nighttime comfort while wearing your brace.
The best brace depends on your specific scoliosis pattern, curve location, and severity. Boston Brace (TLSO) is most common for thoracolumbar curves (mid-to-lower back), offering good correction with a discreet underarm design. Milwaukee Brace (CTLSO) is used for higher thoracic curves or when neck support is needed. Both are effective for curves between 20-40 degrees during growth phases. Your orthopedic surgeon will determine the optimal brace type based on X-ray analysis, curve location, skeletal maturity, and treatment goals. Custom fabrication ensures the brace targets your specific curve pattern.
