Who Can Use the Cash Hyperextension Brace?

Symptoms of a vertebral compression fracture vary greatly, making it hard to identify. Some people experience fairly acute back pain that overtime becomes chronic, while others have sudden severe back pain.

• Acute back pain that turns chronic overtime
• Noticeable hunchback deformity called kyphosis. This is most common if you have a wedge fracture on your vertebrae.
• Loss of height
• Crowding of internal organs
• Loss of muscle and aerobic conditioning due to lack of activity and exercise
• Pain that worsens when you walk or stand
• Difficulty bending or twisting
• Pain is noticed most often when performing daily tasks that slightly strain back muscles. For example, putting sheets on the bed, or unloading groceries.

When Do You Need a Hyperextension Brace?

Hyperextension injuries happen when a joint is forced to move beyond its normal range of motion. These injuries can occur in many parts of your body, although your knees, ankles, elbows, shoulders, neck, and fingers are most susceptible. Minor hyperextension injuries can usually heal with self-care measures. In some cases, you need external pressure and support for them to heal and align.

What Does a Hyperextension Brace Do?

The Cash Hyperextension Brace exerts pressure to keep the spine in an extended position. It is primarily used to treat spinal compression fractures that occur where the upper back meets the lower back, putting pressure and support on the thoracic spine.

Can a Spinal Fracture Heal On its Own?

A hyperextension brace provides support and compression to accelerate healing. While a spinal compression fracture can heal on its own, it can take up to three months with consistent rest. If a patient moves too much during this long recovery period, the pain may persist as the healing process grinds to a halt. An untreated fracture can also lead to height loss and a hunched back.
