Searching For A LSO Back Brace Provider

By Lana Bray


LSO stands for lumbar sacral orthosis, meaning an external brace for the back. There are standard versions of the LSO back brace as well as custom fits. Both can provide additional support to the back and help alleviate pain and discomfort. They can be a vital tool in increasing quality of life for people suffering from spinal problems.

Which option will be right for you will depend on your specific problems. This is why it is important to speak with a professional before making any purchase. They will be able to assist you in finding the right option that will provide the most help and relief. Not seeking the help of a professional first could lead to the purchase of a poorly fitting brace that may only further increase pain and discomfort.

The regular versions of these items are more than adequate for most people, but those that have been custom fitted still offer better support. A cast will be done and some size measurements will be taken during the fitting process. These details will then be used when the device is being crafted so that it fits well and is comfortable to wear.

Many providers will be able to craft your custom device right at their location, others might choose to send your information to somewhere else for the construction process. It takes longer to receive the brace when an outside location is involved of course. When the item is made at the same location that you are ordering from, your order should be ready in only a few days.

Many insurance plans cover the full cost of these items. Others may only cover a portion of the cost. Most people find that they have more than enough insurance coverage though, which means they pay nothing out of pocket. No out of pocket cost is always an appealing option when looking at medical purchases.

Your own coverage will be dependent upon the type of health insurance plan you have and whether or not the insurance company is willing to cover these types of costs. Sometimes they are willing to pay, but only if you have pre-approval first. Each company has a different process for getting pre-approval so you would need to contact them directly to find out how to do that.

If you happen to have an insurance plan that refuses to cover any of the cost, the provider might be willing to set up an installment plan. This will allow you to go ahead and get the device without needing all the money for it upfront. This will typically require a down payment and a monthly installment payment until the total has been paid.

To search for an LSO back brace provider where you live, look no further than the internet. There are many providers available in both larger cities and even small towns. You might not find one in the town you live in, but most likely there will be at least one within reasonable driving distance. If you prefer a customized fit, make sure the provider you choose offers that option. If you're not, than any provider will be able to help you.
