Aspen Horizon 637 LSO Back Brace

$494.00

The Aspen® Horizon™ 637 LSO is a lumbar-sacral brace with movable rigid side panels, for lower back pain after surgery or injury and for the muscle fatigue that follows it. The panels sit at the midline of each side and can be repositioned along the brace, so the side-to-side support lands where the wearer needs it.

Targeted compression from the belt takes load off tired trunk muscles; the rigid panels stop the brace deforming as you move. One brace covers four sizing positions, and the two pull tabs tighten the lower and upper halves separately, so the top can be eased off when sitting without loosening the whole brace.

Is this the right one for you?

Choose this if the pain is muscular or postural — everyday lower back pain, strain or fatigue, with no disc or joint diagnosis.

Been told it is a disc? medi Lumbamed Disc Back Support — Women is built for disc protrusion and prolapse.

Been told it is the facet joints? medi Lumbamed Facet Back Support relieves those small spinal joints specifically.

Pain lower down, across your pelvis or hips? Bauerfeind SacroLoc Pelvic Brace targets the joints where your spine meets your pelvis.

This is a medical-grade orthopaedic brace that incorporates rigid structural support. Braces and orthoses built with rigid components are usually covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

Measure standing upright, breathing out gently, with the tape snug but not pulled tight.

Aspen prints these steps; the first fitting of a post-surgical brace should be supervised by your clinician.

Set the size first: peel up the inside end of each side panel, adjust until the brace closes properly, and press it back down. Aspen's sizes follow standard trouser sizing closely and are guidelines only.
With the brace fully extended, place one lateral panel at the midline of each side panel and press it down to fix it; when the brace is fitted, the panels should sit at the midline of the body.
Place the pull tabs about 2 inches (5 cm) from the plastic at the back, then pull the ends apart so the brace is fully extended.
Put the brace on with the back panel centred and low on the back, and wrap it firmly around the abdomen with the right side overlapping the left.
Both the top and bottom edges should feel snug. If either gapes, take it off and reapply, angling the ends until both edges sit close.
Slip your thumbs through the holes in the pull tabs and pull away from your body. The left tab controls the lower compression, the right tab the upper.
Press the pull tabs down onto the hook-and-loop at the front to hold the compression.
Loosen or tighten either tab as the day goes on; easing the upper portion off a little when sitting is often more comfortable.
