Ash Brace (Hyper Extension)

Code: A 12
Sizes Available: Short/Long

Ash Brace (Spinal Hyperextension Brace) is designed to immobilize the vertebral column and maintain it in a neutral or slightly hyperextension position. It provides stabilization of the spine and encourages cervical and lumbar lordosis thus relieving pressure on the anterior parts of the vertebral bodies. They are designed to act on a three-point pressure principle by exerting pressure against the sternum and pubis on the ventral and the lumbar region on the dorsal.
