Neck, Back & Hip Braces
Back, neck, and hip braces are custom or off-the-shelf orthoses designed to support, stabilize, and protect key areas of the musculoskeletal system. Whether used to manage scoliosis, recover from injury, provide post-surgical support, or improve joint stability and posture, these devices play an important role in reducing pain, promoting healing, and restoring function. At Biodesign, we take a personalized approach to ensure each orthosis is comfortable, effective, and tailored to your unique needs.
Back Braces
1. Scoliosis Braces
These braces are specifically designed to manage spinal curvature in growing children and adolescents with scoliosis. They work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to guide the spine into a more natural alignment and slow the progression of the curve.
2. Back Braces for Injury Recovery
Often prescribed after strains, disc issues, or spinal fractures, these braces offer external support to reduce movement, relieve pain, and aid in healing. They are typically worn short-term and allow for safe mobility during recovery.
3. Post-Surgical Support Braces
After spinal surgery, these orthoses help protect the surgical site, control movement, and promote proper healing. They are custom-fitted to ensure stability and patient comfort during the critical recovery period.
Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or recovering from an injury or surgery, our team is here to provide expert guidance and customized care every step of the way.
Neck Braces
Neck braces, also known as cervical orthoses, are designed to support and stabilize the neck while reducing strain on the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the cervical spine. They help limit excessive movement, support proper alignment, and reduce stress on injured or irritated tissues. Depending on the level of support required, they can provide gentle reminders to maintain good posture or offer more substantial stabilization during recovery.
Proper fit is essential to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Our team can help determine whether an off-the-shelf neck brace is appropriate for your condition and ensure you receive the right level of support as part of your overall treatment plan.
Conditions that may benefit from a Neck brace
Neck braces may be recommended for a variety of conditions, including:
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
- Cervical strains and sprains
- Neck arthritis (cervical osteoarthritis)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Herniated or bulging cervical discs
- Cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerves)
- Postural dysfunction and forward head posture
- Post-operative support following certain neck surgeries
Hip Braces
Hip braces are designed to provide support, stability, and compression to the hip joint and surrounding muscles. They can help reduce pain, improve movement, and protect injured tissues during recovery, daily activities, work, and sports.
Selecting the right hip brace is important to ensure proper support, comfort, and function. Our team can assess your needs and recommend an appropriate off-the-shelf hip brace as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to help you stay active and move more comfortably.
