ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Bracing represents a prevalent conservative, non-surgical approach used in the management of chronic spinal conditions such as spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis. A wide variety of orthoses are available to aid in addressing cervical, thoracic, lumbar, thoracic, and SI joint pain. In this review, we aim to comprehensively examine brace types with their current applications and implications of usage. RECENT FINDINGS:
There are multiple cervical bracing options, such as soft and rigid collars, to assist in managing acute trauma and chronic degenerative conditions. The review highlights the nuanced decision-making process between hard and soft collars based on the severity of bone or ligamentous injury and neurological findings. Orthoses for low back pain are commonly used. The review highlights the challenges of chronic neck and lower back pain, emphasizing the importance of clinicians exploring all treatment strategies including braces which can improve function and reduce pain.Palavras-chave
