THERAPEUTIC CORSETS
Corsetry for Back Support and Other Health Benefits
Did you know that a well fitted corset can actually help you with many issues ranging from spinal misalignment to POTS and EDS? Many first-time wearers of well-made, custom corsets are surprised by the unexpected comfort and wide-ranging health benefits. And many clients seek out Enchanted Custom Corsets specifically for therapeutic purposes - some, at the advice of their doctors. Best of all, unlike those unattractive, bulky, and cumbersome back braces/ medical corsets carried in medical supply stores, every Enchanted corset is designed to your specific measurements. These corsets are created to make you feel beautiful and healthy. Just because you need a little extra support doesn't mean you need to sacrifice your sense of style! Even a back support corset from Enchanted can be completely invisible beneath your clothing!
If you're considering a medical corset for your own health, don't hesitate to talk to your doctor before you contact Enchanted Custom Corsets.
"After years of chronic neck pain, balance issues, and frequent headaches, I was diagnosed with cervical-disc narrowing (CDN). Between that and being very full breasted, I started looking into medical corsets, and found Lisa Marie of Enchanted Custom Corsets. She responded with genuine empathy to my story, wanting to help relieve my pain as soon as possible." (see full testimonial in Testimonials)

"In 2008, I had a full spinal fusion procedure, excluding only my neck. At the time of the surgery, my physicians were not aware that even though they corrected my spine, my ribcage was going to continue to expand into an oblong shape. Nine years later, I would soon be unable to fully to inflate my right lung, and I had pain running down my right arm as my nerves were drawn tight around my warped rib cage. My doctor said that current rib support braces are not very effective for women as they do not accommodate the breasts. He suggested that a modern corset might offer the support I need, and hence I found Lisa Marie of Enchanted Corsets.
Lisa Marie was incredibly knowledgable and designed a piece that was supportive in all the right ways. The first few days of wearing my attractive black brocade corset were a little uncomfortable, as I wasn’t used to wearing such a form fitting garment. However, since the initial break in period, I feel far better than I have in years. The nerve problems are almost entirely gone and the support to my ribcage has prevented it from further warping, even resulting in some correction to my alignment.
I now wear my corset three to four days a week and feel much more confident about the future of my physical body. I highly recommend Lisa Marie as a designer, as well as a source for possible spinal support corsets."

"I have always been a curvy girl, but I found out how curvy I really am when I started having horrible sciatica pain. At 33 years old, I found out that I have scoliosis in my lumbar spine, spondylolisthesis, and a whole host of other spinal issues. It's a scary thing and has caused me lots of debilitating pain. After years of chiropractic care, physical therapy, drugs, and spinal injections I was finally told that I need a spinal fusion. Basically, my spine won’t support itself, so I need something to support it for me.
​
Now over the years I have worn the back braces that insurance covers. They provide very little support and dig into my stomach in an uncomfortable way. I have also tried off the rack corsets and they do provide better support than the medical back brace but just don’t fit my body. So I decided that I would invest in a quality custom corset, and what a game changer!
​
First off, Lisa Marie made the process as easy as possible. Taking measurements and fittings from opposite ends of the country poses some challenges, but it wasn’t bad and my husband was great. You will need a friend to help in this process.
​
Having this garment has allowed me to do things that I can’t normally do. Without my corset, intense pain starts after 10-15 min on my feet and I usually have to lay down after just grocery shopping. The first day I wore my custom corset, I went shopping with my daughter and we were away from the house for about five hours. I didn’t once have to take a break - the normal process of driving from place to place was enough of a break for me, and I was not on the floor in tears when I finally came home. This is huge for me!
​
I can’t wear this everyday because I need help lacing it (our schedules don’t always match), but when I need to be able to walk and stand for extended periods, we lace me in and I get to do things like a normal person again. While my corset doesn’t take all the pain away, it does bring my pain to a manageable level, and I couldn’t be happier! Just recently we went and saw the Alamo, something I wouldn’t have dreamed of before my Enchanted custom corset! Thank you!"
