As you become more advanced in age, chronic back pain becomes more and more common. A back brace with a medical billing code of L0625 is a very common type of brace used for daily aches and pains. In order for a brace to qualify as an L0625 lumbar orthosis, it must meet a predetermined set of regulations.
L0625 lumbar orthosis must provide support to the lumbar region of the spinal column. This type of brace gives a flexible support. Most of these types of braces rely on the compression support it provides. The back of an L0625 brace must cover all 5 of of the lumbar vertebrates. The compression this brace provides will then lift the weight off the vertebral discs in the lumbar region. Adjustment straps and closures must be provided with each L0625 lumbar orthosis.
There are certain components that the L0625 lumbar supports may also have, however qualification is not dependent upon these components. These braces may also be designed for a pendulous abdomen. A pendulous design is meant for someone who has a large abdomen, larger than their hips. Shoulder straps may also be included for this type of brace. Stays may also be included.
All L0625 back braces come ready-made, and hold an "off-the-shelf" status with insurance companies. This means that these back braces are not to be customized by a trained individual, in order to keep the L0625 billing code.
If you are having chronic back pain, you should go speak to your doctor. Ignoring treatment can make conditions worsen.
