ABSTRACT:
A lumbar stabilizer for the controlled displacement of tissue and application of pressure in the lumbar spine area (S) of a patient including, a belt (11) for encircling the lumbar spine area of a patient, a pair of pads (35, 35) mounted in the belt in circumferential spaced relation for positioning a distance to either side of the spinous process (84) of the lumbar spine area, a fastener (16, 17) on the belt for bringing the pair of pads into engagement with tissue in the lumbar spine area, and means (50) for selectively reducing the distance between the pair of pads to displace the tissue a distance toward the spinous process, thereby compressing and supporting the low back tissues and unloading the lumbar spine.
