TAMPA, FLORIDA, USA, September 25, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Lumbar support braces are often used as an adjunct in the treatment of low‐back pain patients. The purpose is twofold. The first is to prevent reinjury and the second is to provide stabilization between treatments which aids in the healing process.

The following case study demonstrates the effective implementation of a lumbar support belt for adjunctive therapy:

- A 38 year old male presented with low back pain

- His symptoms include pain radiating down his right leg, his pain score is at a level 7 out of 10. He has trouble standing, walking

- He takes naproxen, cyclobenzaprine for pain management

- Initial attempts at pain relief included massage and ice

He was sent for MRI which showed:

> Showed a diffuse annular bulge at L4. No impingement on the right L4 nerve root

> No significant spinal stenosis

- He was started on ISCS treatment protocol

- After two weeks of care he begins to feel some relief and pain score is a level 4 he complains of back spasms following a post treatment session

- By week four his pain score is a level 3

- Along with ICSC he receives cyro-therapy and electrical stimulation

- Patient complains that pain resumes the next day and is not understanding why he is not pain free

Many physicians often attempt to limit certain aspects by not providing patients with an adequate lumbar support brace. When Integrity developed the ISCS treatment protocol, a comprehensive treatment plan was developed that included selecting the correct patient type, placing pre-set treatment angles and therapeutic decompression force plus addressing post treatment therapy.

Additionally, the ISCS protocol addresses the need to have support both pre and post therapeutic spinal decompression.
The purpose of utilizing a lumbar support offers both pre and post treatment benefits.

Integrity’s Brace Plus is designed to provide three vital functions, addressing pre and post treatment functions

#1: By having a posterior gel insert that can be heated and place into the Integrity Brace allows release of tension in muscles and soft tissues around lower spine. The heated posterior gel insert promotes increase circulation and assist relieving pain due to muscle spasms.

#2: The same posterior gel insert can be place in a cold environment for use during post treatment. Naturally, a cold pack would slow down inflammation, and decreases tissue damage. Furthermore, placing a cold posterior gel into the Integrity Brace would make the veins and tissues contract, reducing circulation. Once the cold posterior gel insert is removed, the veins overcompensate and dilate and blood rushes into the area. The infusion of blood in the area brings necessary nutrients to help the injured back muscles, ligaments, and tendons to increase the healing process.

#3: The function of the Integrity Brace is in post protocol support. During the first month of care, lumbar support is necessary. The Integrity back brace works by limiting the motion of the spine by offering support and by transferring the load off the disc to the abdominal area.
