…is a common ailment that affects millions of people. It can range from a dull, persistent ache
to sharp, debilitating pain. The discomfort often originates from the spine, muscles, ligaments,
or nerves in the back. Factors such as poor posture, prolonged sitting, and lack of physical
activity can contribute significantly to the development of back pain. Also, injuries from falls,
sports, or heavy lifting can lead to acute pain, while chronic conditions like arthritis or herniated
discs may cause ongoing discomfort. Another common issue is the degeneration of spinal discs,
which can occur with aging or due to wear and tear.
Introducing: The Caerus Therapeutic Back Brace
This Is Not Your Father’s Back Brace! This Lumbar Sacral Orthosis Is By Prescription
Only And Must Be Fitted By A Qualified Healthcare Professional.
STEP 1: Locating & Adjusting The Lumbar Insert
Lay the vest open on a flat surface and locate the Velcro strip on the inside of the back of the
vest and the lumbar insert. Locate the Velcro on the back of the lumbar insert and remove the
white protective film strip. Remove and reattach the lumbar insert to the inside of the vest with
the narrow side pointing upward to locate the vertical position for lumbar support. Align the
Velcro strip on the back of the lumbar insert with the Velcro strip on the inside of the vest. Press
together to connect the lumbar insert to the inside of the vest. Put on the vest and check for
proper lumbar alignment.
STEP 2: Locating & Inserting The Anterior (Front) Inserts
The anterior inserts are the shortest of two pairs of inserts in the kit. Close the vest and locate
the two zippered pockets on the front upper chest area. Load the inserts with the slightly
narrower end pointing downward and zip the pockets closed.
STEP 3: Locating & Inserting The Lateral (Side) Inserts
The lateral inserts also have a slight taper and are narrower than the anterior inserts. Reach
around to the sides of the vest or flip the vest over to locate a mesh pocket. Load the inserts
with the slightly narrower end pointing downward.
STEP 4: Interior 6” Waist Strap
Put on the vest and locate the 6” wide elastic strap on the inside. The purpose of this strap is to
assure a snug fit around the waist, lower back, and provide lumbar support. Stretch the elastic
strap to desired length and secure by connecting the Velcro fasteners. Connect the zipper at the
bottom of the vest and zip up to the top.
STEP 5: Tightening Front, Side & Shoulder Straps
Locate the Front lower straps with the side release buckles, snap together, and pull to tighten
around the lower waist. Locate the next 2 sets of straps with buckles, snap together, and pull to
tighten. Retighten all the straps to assure an overall snug fit throughout the back brace.
Locate both the lower and upper Velcro Side straps on each side. Feed the strap through the
connector, tighten, and secure the Velcro for a snug fit.
Locate the Velcro straps on each Shoulder. Feed the strap through the connector, tighten, and
secure the Velcro for a snug fit.
Remember: A healthcare professional (one of our physical therapists) must assist in the
fitting of your Caerus Therapeutic Back Brace for the optimal lumbar support.
