ABSTRACT:
A light weight, substantially rigid chiropractic brace is disclosed which provides support for the lumbar spine area of a human patient while being comfortably worn, even during ambulation. The chiropractic brace is a bi-valve system comprising a posterior support including a recessed portion thereof for aligning the lumbar vertebra and an anterior support including a portion for lifting the patient's abdominal region and locking out any vertical or lateral rocking motions. The chiropractic brace of the present invention also exerts a pelvic tilt to the patient thereby substantially eliminating torque on the lumbar vertebra. The brace aids the body's natural healing process by preventing adverse forces from affecting an injured area.
