Method of manufacturing a chiropractic brace

technical field

The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a spinal correction back frame, in particular to a method for setting airbags on the inner surface of the correction back frame and cooperating with medical treatment to correct scoliosis or rotational deformation of vertebral bodies.

Background technique

Generally, when scoliosis or bending deformation occurs, it must be diagnosed and treated by professionals, and it must be coordinated with rehabilitation to restore the spine to its normal position. Generally, only rehabilitation and observation are required for scoliosis below 20 degrees, while scoliosis When the scoliosis reaches 20 degrees to 40 degrees, in addition to rehabilitation, it is necessary to consider the treatment with the spine back frame. When the scoliosis exceeds 40 degrees, because the rehabilitation and the treatment effect of the back frame are not good, it is necessary to use surgery. Correction and fixation, but the sequelae and risks of surgery are extremely high. Therefore, most of them take non-surgical rehabilitation and back brace treatment as the preferred treatment considerations; and the existing back brace 1, please refer to Figure 1. A back frame body 10 is made of a plastic plastic plate according to the body shape of the patient, and the back frame body 10 is provided with an opening 11 for the back frame body 10 to be opened outwards for wearing on the user.
