• Posture Brace
A posture brace wraps around the shoulders gently pulling them back thus aligning the neck and back to avoid unnecessary muscle strain. This relieves the back pain associated with everyday work habits such as sitting at a desk and slumping forward in a chair to read. It reminds your body to hold your shoulders back and your spine straight and thus begin the retraining of postural supportive muscles of the spine providing long term pain relief.
• Cervical soft collar
A Cervical soft collar helps to stabilize the neck when there has been a recent injury, pain or surgery. It is beneficial for patients with neck pain or pain that goes down the arm by restricting neck motion and taking the pressure off the nerve roots that are irritated or compressed causing pain.
• Lumbar Supports
Lumbar belts help to relieve low back pain and sciatica by supporting the lumbar region, stabilizing the pelvis and SI joints and they also aid in achieving proper posture especially when lifting. They are recommended for people with lower back problems or anyone who does a great deal of lifting and bending as part of their daily routine.
• Maternity belt
A Maternity belt offers support for a pregnant woman's expanding belly and relieves common low back pain. It is designed to transfer the weight of the belly from the hips to the spine, which can better support the weight of the growing abdomen- thus relieving hip or back pain during pregnancy and making the pregnancy more bearable. The belt may be worn in all stages of pregnancy and postpartum. Maternity belts can also be used to support the abdomen even after the baby is born by lifting and supporting the stomach muscles as they begin to revert back to normal. Performing abdominal exercises when your obstetrician gives the approval, and wearing a maternity belt in between, can help to flatten and tone up your tummy.
• Shoe Insoles
Shoe Insoles re-align the foot and ankle bones to their neutral position restoring natural foot function and thus alleviating common complaints such as heel pain, knee pain and low back pain which can be caused by poor foot function. They also give a more even weight distribution, taking pressure of sore spots (e.g. the ball of the foot, corns in between toes, bunions etc) and provide shock absorption. They are intended for people who stand or walk all day, people with low back, knee and foot pain, if one has pain during any exercise and for overweight individuals.
