/ Swedish Leaf Spring Orthosis

Swedish Leaf Spring Orthosis

Made from injection-molded polypropylene splint that provides static dorsiflexion assistance and lateral stability for the entire foot-ankle area. Injection molding allows for thicker polypropylene on the vertical aspect for rigidity and a thinner footplate that may be trimmed with a pair of ordinary scissors. A heat gun may be used to further form the splint if desired. The low arch and open heel give this splint a streamlined profile that fits easily into any shoe. A padded hook-and-loop strap secures the AFO around the calf. Trim to fit with scissors.

Available in Left or Right, Men’s and Women’s sizes.

Pain in the lumbar region is one of the most common types of back pain. The causes of lower back pain are many. One is a simple strain injury that you can get from reaching and twisting or lifting an object that is too heavy for you. Others include car accidents, falls, spinal stenosis, sciatica, bulging or herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease.

It depends on your condition. Different lower back braces are best to combat different symptoms. All our lower back braces offer support, and some offer compression as well. You may be looking for a lower back brace to promote stability and proper posture. If you are prone to back spasms, a back brace that restricts motion may help.

Talk to your doctor about your specific condition and ask for recommendations about the best back brace for lower back pain for you.
