• Postoperative spinal stabilization
• Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain
• Spondylarthritis
• Spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis
• Degeneration of intervertebral discs

Benefits may include:

• Stabilization and assisting proper alignment of vertebrae and facet joints
• Reducing or modifying vertebral and facet joint motion and loading
• Support of the spine’s musculoskeletal and ligament systems
• Improvement of posture, function, proprioception
