Core Support

Lumbar Support are external orthotic devices designed to provide compression, stability, and motion restriction to the lower back. Ranging from flexible binders for mild strain and proprioception to rigid braces for post-surgical immobilization, they work by providing external support and increasing intra-abdominal pressure to offload the lumbar spine. Their effective use requires proper sizing and fit for the specific clinical indication. Crucially, they should be employed as an adjunct to, not a replacement for, active rehabilitation and core strengthening to prevent muscle atrophy and promote long-term spinal health.
