Treatment for pars fracture (spondylolysis) usually involves rest and bracing to stabilise the spine. Though in more severe cases, surgery may be needed.
If a pars fracture is not properly diagnosed and treated, it can get worse and lead to more serious conditions like spondylolisthesis, where a vertebra slips out of place.
The aim of a bespoke spinal brace, like the LOC Pars Fracture Brace, is to:
Early diagnosis and prompt bracing can significantly shorten recovery time from the normal six months to as little as three months.
After the initial appointment, one of our specialist clinicians will take the necessary 3D scans and measurements of your lower back. We will then design, model and manufacture your bespoke brace in-house.
One of our specialist clinicians will then fit the brace and check if any adjustments are needed. Typically, these braces are used alongside rest for three or six months (your consultant will direct the time scales).
We offer a same-day brace fitting service for patients who need a brace fitted quickly. Same-day patients are assessed in the morning and will have a bespoke brace fitted in the afternoon.
This same-day service is only available at our Kingston clinic.
We’re committed to always being as transparent as possible with our treatment costs. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Please note that if you choose our express, same-day fitting service at our Kingston clinic, there is an additional cost of £231.
We believe in the power of bespoke orthotics to change lives. That’s why we’re committed to providing the best possible treatments for our patients.
