Stabilizing orthosis for relief of the pelvis and the sacroiliac joints.

The SacroLoc® orthosis can provide the correct support for sacroiliac joint syndrome (SI joint syndrome), loosening of the symphysis or other pain or complaints of the locomotor system in the pelvic region. It stabilizes and relieves pressure on the pelvis and symphysis and, with its two-part cushion (pad), massages the sacroiliac joints. This stimulates circulation, thus helping the healing process.

    * Specifically targets the sacroiliac joints
    * Can be individually adjusted with tensioning straps

There are many different causes of back pain. Pain in the lower back, where the vertebral column and the pelvis meet, is particularly  common. This place is known as the ileosacral joint. About one quarter of back aches have their origin below the lumbar column, the lower part of the back at the ileosacral joint. Often the pain occurs suddenly while standing or sitting for a long time or when getting up.

The pain can also spread from the back area:
• to the rear of the thigh;
• to the hip;
• to the groin and buttocks.

If this type of back pain becomes acute, it may hinder mobility. Bauerfeind has developed a new support for just that problem: SacroLoc®. The support acts exactly where the pain is located: in the lower part of the back, at the ileosacral joints. SacroLoc® helps to alleviate acute pain and prevent recurrences.

Targeted effect in the lumbar region

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction accounts for 25 % of all cases of back pain in the lumbar spine area. With SacroLoc, a combination of elastic and non-elastic knit stabilizes and relieves pressure on this zone, while a two-part pad on the back massages pain spots. This stimulates circulation at certain points, relieving cramps and helping to release tension.

Comfortable and customizable

Thanks to its flat, anatomical fit, SacroLoc is barely noticeable under clothing. It is made of breathable material, thereby ensuring that sufficient air can circulate to the skin. The amount of pressure relief provided by the orthosis can be controlled individually using the tensioning straps. The fasteners have practical finger pockets, so that the orthosis can be put on without needing to exert a lot of strength. SacroLoc therefore combines functionality with a high degree of wearing comfort, and evidence of this is provided by the iF product design award 2010.
