LSO vs TLSO Back Braces: Understanding the Difference
Two of the most common brace types are LSO (Lumbosacral Orthosis) and TLSO (Thoracic-Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis). Each serves distinct spinal regions and addresses specific conditions:
| Feature | LSO | TLSO |
|---|---|---|
| Target Area | Lower back (L1 to sacrum) | Mid-back through lower spine (T6 to sacrum) |
| Common Uses |
- Lumbar sprains/strains - Herniated discs - Degenerative disc disease (lumbar) - Post-surgery stabilization (lower spine) |
- Scoliosis - Kyphosis - Thoracic compression fractures - Extended post-surgical support |
| Support Level | Moderate to firm | Firm to highly restrictive (for mid/lower spine) |
| Mobility Impact | Allows daily movement with lumbar support | More comprehensive coverage, limiting thoracic bending and twisting |
| Ideal For | Chronic lower back pain, post-laminectomy in lumbar area, moderate injury recovery | Scoliosis curves, thoracic surgery recovery, multi-level spinal alignment |
