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.

Bracing treatment for pars fracture

The aim of a bespoke spinal brace, like the LOC Pars Fracture Brace, is to:

  • stabilise the spine
  • promote healing
  • help with pain management

Early diagnosis and prompt bracing can significantly shorten recovery time from the normal six months to as little as three months.

Recover from pars fracture quickly, without surgery
  • Excellent outcomes for patients

    We’ve been treating pars fractures with braces for three years and our success rates are above average. What’s more, none of our pars fracture patients have gone on to require surgery.

  • Quicker recovery time

    Diagnosing a pars fracture early and using a brace can reduce recovery time from the typical six months to as little as three months.

  • Lightweight and low-profile

    Designed to be slim and lightweight, our brace is less bulky than conventional options, allowing patients to continue daily activities with minimal restriction.

  • Designed using 3D scanning

    We use our 3D scanning app to take an impression of your torso and lower spine, so no more plaster casting. Making appointments quicker, easier and more comfortable for patients.

  • Easy to put on and take off

    Straps at the front of the brace mean that patients can put it on and take it off by themselves.

  • Manufactured in-house

    Our on-site workshop facilities mean that clinicians can make any necessary adjustments or tweaks to your pars fracture brace to make sure it’s comfortable and working optimally.

Bracing treatment schedule

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).

Same-day brace fitting service

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.
