Jewett Braces

Spinal Brace Jewett

The spinal brace Jewett is a rigid thoracolumbar orthosis designed to immobilize the spine in cases of vertebral compression fractures, osteoporosis, herniated discs, spinal tumors, or after thoracolumbar surgery. This Jewett brace restricts forward flexion of the spine, allowing for healing and pain relief, while still permitting side and backward movements.

Indications for Use

- Compression fractures of thoracic or lumbar vertebrae

- Osteoporosis with risk of vertebral collapse

- Post-surgical spinal stabilization

- Spinal infections or tumors

- Postural correction in specific conditions

If you're wondering what is a Jewett brace, it’s an external support that stabilizes the spine by applying a three-point pressure system. Our Jewett hyperextension brace models are lightweight, anatomically designed, and available in multiple sizes to ensure a perfect fit. They feature cushioned pads and easy adjustments at the chest, hips, and back.

How to Use a Jewett Brace

1) Position the upper pad over the sternum, avoiding pressure on the throat.

2) Place the lower pad above the pubic bone, without direct skin contact.

3) Ensure the back pad sits on the lumbar spine to create proper counterforce.

4) Secure the side straps evenly for firm support without discomfort.
