Should I use a custom moldable orthotic brace for my spinal decompression treatment?
Question : Should I use a custom moldable orthotic brace for my spinal decompression treatment?
I saw 2 persons who propose a spinal decompression treatment. Both combine spinal decompression and physical therapy. But the main difference between them is that one give a custom moldable orthotic brace and not the other. So I don’t know which one to use. Here are the details of the brace: Comfortable and easy to wear will stabilize healing back muscles, joints and ligaments. Worn consecutively for the first 5 treatments and after each session thereafter.

I’d ask to see their evidence….and have someone who has the level of education to evaluate the quality of the evidence read it and give you their opinion. You should be aware that a practicioner may have finanical ties to such a product and may not be giving you the best advise.
As a physical therapist, I can tell you that bracing in any type of conservative back pain rehabilitation is very sketchy…but your health care may have some information to which I am not familiar.
orthotic devices are widely used with some success they help shift or realign your bones.with ongoing therapy and a good dr the device may change from time to time. i used mine for twenty mins a day and worked up to all day(with short breaks) in about a month.the device was adjusted several times.it worked for me
