Which Size Is Right for Me?

The Dorsolumbar Back Support Brace comes in sizes Small to XX-Large based on waist circumference. To determine which size is right for you, please follow the steps below:

• Step One: Measure your waist at its widest part (it is recommended to measure loosely to allow for a bit of leeway with the sizing). Match this measurement to the table below.

Size	Waist Circumference (cm)
Small	60 – 70cm
Medium	70 – 85cm
Large	85 – 100cm
Extra Large	100 – 115cm
XX-Large	115 – 135cm

• Step Two: Measure the length of your back from the bony part of the neck to the base of the spine. It is recommended for greater accuracy to have someone help you taking this measurement. Match this measurement to the table below.

Length	Measurement (cm)
Standard	Up to 54cm
Long	Over 54cm

• Step Three: If you are unsure about your measurement, please refer to the video or sizing image below.

Is the Standard or Long Style Right for Me?

The Neo G Dorsolumbar Back Support and Kyphosis Brace is available in four different sizes and two different lengths. As there are no flexible spinal stays in the long version, you should consult with your GP or medical practitioner to determine which style is correct for your condition. 

Application and Fitting Instructions

Once you’ve selected the right size for you, it’s vital you know how to correctly apply and fit your Neo G Back Support right out the box. The best way to find out how to do this is to watch the video below a few times before attempting application yourself.

It’s quick, easy to follow and will ensure you know what you’re doing when it comes to putting your own brace on. 

How Do I Correctly Position My Back Support?

In terms of positioning, it is important to ensure that the very top of the support isn’t too far down your back. The “V” of the strap should be on or as close to the bony prominence of your neck as is possible to avoid “pinching” and tightness under the arms.

If the straps are positioned above this area, they will come too far over the shoulders and support will be compromised. You can use the diagram below if you’d prefer this to a video demonstration:

How Does This Back Brace Provide Support?

The Neo G Back Support Brace has been designed to support and reduce early thoracic kyphosis by encouraging correct alignment of both the dorsal and lumbar spine. The firm yet flexible stays, coupled with the anatomical design, help to provide added support to muscles, ligaments and tendons to comfortably assist with everyday posture.

What Conditions Can This Brace Treat?

Before purchase, we strongly recommend you consult a healthcare professional to determine whether this style of brace is right for your condition. However this brace does provide great full back support to the dorsolumbar region of the spine, making it great for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Early thoracic kyphosis
• Rounded shoulders and/or slumped shoulder
• Pre- or post-operative rehabilitation
• Muscular aches and spasm
• Back pain
• Poor posture

Which Conditions Are Not Suitable?

The Neo G Dorsolumbar Back Support and Kyphosis Brace is not suitable for treating scoliosis of the spine as the angle of correction is wrong for this condition.

Will This Brace Reduce Back Pain?

The Dorsolumbar Back Brace can help ease muscular aches and spasm by supporting the soft tissues of the back and evenly distributing forces over the lumbar area. The support is breathable and adjustable for a custom fit and slimline in design so that it can comfortably be worn under clothes.

How Much Support Does This Brace Provide?

This back corset uses a variety of strategically placed stays, allowing it to provide a firm level of support. This makes it a suitable post-surgical back brace, providing enough support to provide peace of mind as your back recovers.

Is This Dorsolumbar Support Comfortable to Wear?

Made with soft and breathable materials, this back pain brace is extremely comfortable to wear and won’t cause you to overheat during use. Comfort straps and a removable inner lumbar pad are supplied as standard with this brace, allowing you to adjust the brace to be as comfortable as possible for all-day wear.

Can I Adjust the Level of Back Support?

This Neo G Back Support is supplied with both flexible and firm metal stays, allowing you to choose the level of support you need based on the level of rigidity required. Firm stays will provide more support and slightly inhibit motion, while flexible stays will provide less rigid support while allowing a fair amount more movement in your back.

How Do I Adjust the Spinal Stays?

To adjust the level of support provided by the spinal stays in this brace, simply remove and replace them in the channels along the back of the brace. If you are unsure as to which set of stays you should use, we recommend consulting your physician. It should be noted that the long version of this support includes firm stays only.

Is This a Lower Back Support Brace?

This spinal brace provides support to the dorsal and lumbar spine, meaning it acts as a lumbar back brace and a general posture support in one. This allows it to correct posture while providing great lower back support, helping to relieve pain and take the stress off your back muscles.

How Is the Upper Back Supported?

As the support is more of a posture corrector, the upper back will receive the most support in the spinal region and the rest will come from postural improvements by bringing the shoulders back. This postural adjustment helps ensure both areas of the back work in tandem to strengthen weakened muscles and improve posture.

Is This a Suitable Back Support for Women?

This Dorsolumbar Support Brace is designed for both men and women. It’s available in a wide range of sizes, making it an ideal back support for men as well as women.

Will This Back Support Improve Posture?

The Neo G Dorsolumbar Brace provides assistance to the muscles in your back, helping to reduce the slumping and rounded shoulders that can contribute to bad posture. It takes the strain off your back to subtly reinforce the muscle memory that leads to sustained proper posture, making this an ideal back support for posture assistance.

Is This Support Suitable for a Back Fracture?

This support can provide general back support that makes it suitable for a number of conditions. Since back fractures can vary in severity in scope, we would recommend you consult your physician before using the back support as part of your spinal fracture rehabilitation process.

Is This Brace Discreet Under Clothing?

This brace is anatomically designed to meet the contours of the body, making it ideal for wearing under clothes. This slimline design makes the brace particularly suited to everyday wear, allowing it to fit under clothing to provide support without affecting the fit of your clothing. You can see the brace used under clothing at the end of the demonstration video below.

Can I Wear This Brace While Sleeping?

While this brace is comfortable enough to wear all day long, prolonged periods of wear are not encouraged. The brace should not be worn during the night while sleeping.
