A spinal orthosis is a supportive device designed to stabilize and align the spine. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as scoliosis, spinal fractures, or post-surgical recovery. The orthosis helps reduce pain and prevent further injury by limiting movement in the affected area. These devices can be made from various materials, including plastic and metal, and are custom-fitted to the patient's body. They come in different styles, such as braces or corsets, and are typically worn under clothing. Proper use of a spinal orthosis can enhance mobility and improve overall spinal health.
