What is a body jacket with a thigh spika?
A body jacket with a thigh spika is a full body cast, for the lower back, with an extension that goes down the leg that does not have pain. If a patient has pain in both legs, then the spika should be placed on the leg with less pain. The thigh spika body jacket is the only low back brace that stabilizes L5-S1 lumbar segment, which is where 87% of all low back and leg pain occurs.
