How back splints work

Back splints can support and relieve various complaints, for example in the case of deep-seated back pain, lumbalgia, facet joint arthrosis, muscle tension or osteoporosis. They are able to straighten and stabilise the back.

Back stabilisation and improvement of muscle strength with lumbar orthoses

Various stabilising back orthoses are used to accompany physiotherapy, heat treatments, massages or manual therapy. A study shows that lumbar spine stabilising orthoses relieve pain, as well as improve mobility and muscle strength.¹

Spinal straightening back orthoses for osteoporosis

The DVO guideline recommends the use of spine-straightening orthoses such as the Spinomed.^2,3 Thanks to its shoulder strap system and the back splint, it constantly reminds osteoporosis patients to actively straighten themselves into the correct posture. This process is called biofeedback. As a result, the muscles are sustainably strengthened. In addition, the more upright posture facilitates breathing and relieves pain. The reduced tendency to sway ensures that osteoporosis patients can stand more securely.
