Over the last couple of years, LOC has developed links with local consultants to assist with the bracing of patients with multiple myeloma.
Your treating consultant will advise if a Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis (TLSO) or a Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis (CTLSO) brace is a suitable part of your myeloma therapy.
Bespoke spinal braces for myeloma can:
Your spinal brace will also help to prevent any further collapse or fractures of your vertebrae.
Spinal braces must be very well-fitting to achieve the above goals. The best way to achieve a well-fitting spinal brace is to have it custom-made so that it is a perfect fit.
We take a 3D scan of your surface topography and use this to design your brace. We apply some light modelling via CAD/CAM software, before sending this to our Rodin 4D milling machine Robot (Victor) to mill out a life-size version of you. Our experienced technicians then make your brace by hand.
As we have all the above resources on-site in our Kingston Upon Thames clinic, we can turn our Myeloma Spinal Braces around within 48 hours. That means that braces are ready for fitting and supply two days following our initial assessment.
A bespoke TLSO brace for a mutliple myeloma patient
A little more than four years after the LOCband Lite's launch, we're proud to have successfully treated our 250th helmet therapy patient at our Romford clinic using our cutting-edge 3D-printed cranial band. After five months of treatment, her final scan showed that her asymmetry had decreased from 12 mm to 3 mm.
Sky News published an article this month quoting scientists at Southmead Hospital who claimed there was a lack of research into flat head syndrome and its treatment with cranial remoulding (helmet) therapy. This is our response.
With our non-surgical treatment plan, Alex achieved 100% chest correction in just two years. His treatment involved a combination of dynamic chest compressor and vacuum bell therapy treatment to address his pectus excavatum and rib flaring.
Learn how a custom carbon fibre AFO helped Gill regain mobility and comfort despite complex challenges from shin bone (tibia) removal. We created a truly tailored orthotic solution made from pre-preg carbon fibre at our Cambridge clinic.
Discover how bespoke orthotics and the OSKAR program with Elaine Owen transformed Archie’s life with cerebral palsy quadriplegia, helping him avoid a wheelchair and achieve greater mobility.
Luca was diagnosed with moderate to severe brachycephaly, a condition where the head is unusually wide and flat. Here, Mum Lauren tells us his story.
From debilitating challenges with foot drop to conquering mountains... New carbon-fibre Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) help this Charcot-Marie-Tooth patient climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
Vacuum bell therapy and custom rib bracing helped to improve Charlie's pectus excavatum chest shape, reducing his sternum indentation from 40mm to 10mm.
