Pediatric Spinal Orthotics
At Comprehensive Prosthetics & Orthotics, we understand that each child’s growth and musculoskeletal development is unique. Our team is dedicated to supporting children with spinal conditions by providing specialized pediatric spinal orthotic solutions that promote healthy alignment, stability, and mobility. Pediatric spinal orthotics play a vital role in treating spinal deformities, improving posture, and preventing the progression of conditions that may impact long-term function and comfort.
What Is Pediatric Spinal Orthotics?
Pediatric spinal orthoses are custom-designed devices used to guide spinal growth, reduce the progression of curvature, and support overall spinal health. Whether a child is diagnosed with scoliosis, kyphosis, postoperative needs, or neuromuscular conditions, our orthotists work closely with families and healthcare providers to deliver individualized care tailored to their specific needs. When you choose Comprehensive Prosthetics & Orthotics, you receive expert evaluation, advanced orthotic design, and ongoing support throughout your child’s treatment journey.
Types of Pediatric Spinal Orthotics & Their Features
Custom Scoliosis Braces
Our custom-made scoliosis orthoses are designed to slow or stop the progression of spinal curvature during growth. Using precise measurements and digital scanning, we create braces that offer corrective pressure while maintaining comfort and mobility. These braces are commonly prescribed for idiopathic scoliosis and are tailored to each child’s unique spinal alignment.
Thoracolumbosacral Orthoses (TLSO)
TLSOs provide support and stabilization for the thoracic and lumbar spine. These orthoses are often recommended for scoliosis, postoperative care, compression fractures, or spinal instability. At CPO, TLSOs are fabricated to contour closely to the child’s body, ensuring optimal support without restricting everyday movement.
Hyperextension Braces
Hyperextension braces are used to treat specific spinal injuries or deformities that require controlled extension of the spine. These braces help maintain proper alignment and protect healing structures, allowing children to continue their daily activities with added safety and support.
Kyphosis Braces
For children with postural or structural kyphosis, specialized braces help retrain posture and reduce excessive curvature. Our kyphosis orthoses are created to encourage improved spinal alignment while remaining comfortable enough for consistent wear throughout the day.
Neuromuscular Spinal Orthotics
Children with neuromuscular conditions may require additional trunk stability to support breathing, mobility, and positioning needs. Our neuromuscular spinal orthoses provide enhanced postural control, allowing children to participate more fully in daily activities while reducing fatigue and improving overall function.
Pediatric Spinal Orthotics Evaluation & Fitting Process
At CPO, every child undergoes a thorough evaluation to understand their clinical needs, growth patterns, and lifestyle considerations. During the fitting process, our specialists ensure that the orthosis is comfortable, effective, and supportive of long-term treatment goals. Ongoing adjustments and follow-up visits are part of our continuum of care, ensuring that the orthosis continues to fit properly as your child grows and develops.
