A medical corset is an orthopaedic device used to support, fix and offload the spine. It may be prescribed for back pain, postural disorders, spinal conditions, after injuries, surgery and during rehabilitation.
An orthopaedic corset helps reduce the load on the spine, maintain the back in a correct position, restrict unwanted movements and create safer conditions for recovery.
At our centre you can obtain a medical corset free of charge under the government rehabilitation aid programme. We assist with orthopaedic consultation, device selection and documentation.

diagnosis;
the area of the spine requiring support;
level of pain;
presence of injury or surgery;
condition of the back muscles;
postural characteristics;
level of physical activity;

Important
After injuries, surgery, spinal conditions or pronounced pain, the back may require additional support.
If the spine is overloaded and the muscles fail to provide sufficient stabilisation, pain and discomfort may persist longer. In such cases, a medical corset helps reduce the load, support the torso and make recovery safer.
Timely use of an orthopaedic corset helps create more stable conditions for recovery and reduce the risk of recurring back strain.
Pricing
The cost of a medical corset depends on the type of device, fixation zone, level of support, materials, fabrication complexity and individual patient characteristics.
