In the context of the digital revolution, 3D printing technology brings innovation to the personalized treatment of cervical spondylosis, a clinically common degenerative disease that severely impacts the quality of life and increases the economic burden of patients. Although traditional surgeries, medications, and physical therapies are somewhat effective, they often fail` to meet individual needs, thus affecting treatment adherence and outcomes. 3D printing, with its customizability, precision, material diversity, and short production cycles, shows tremendous potential in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. This review discusses the multiple applications of 3D printing in the treatment of cervical spondylosis, including the design, manufacture, and advantages of 3D-printed cervical collars, the role of 3D models in clinical teaching and surgical simulation, and the application of 3D-printed scaffolds and implants in cervical surgery. It also discusses the current challenges and future directions.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts quality of life and contributes to a significant economic burden. One conservative management strategy for CLBP is lumbar back bracing. Despite the benefits of back bracing for improving pain and function, there remains hesitance to use the therapy long term due to unfounded fear related to muscle weakness, deconditioning, or joint contracture. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes for patients with CLBP who were managed with lumbar back bracing and physical therapy. Methods: This was a single-site, retrospective chart review. Results: Patients were included in the study if they were treated for CLBP with back bracing for at least one hour daily and physical therapy for twelve weeks. Pain was assessed at three, six, and twelve months using the 11-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Function was assessed at three months using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The VAS score reduced from 6.28 +/− 2.32 to 3.96 +/− 2.66 at three months (p < 0.001) for 198 patients. At six and twelve months, the VAS score reduced to 3.74 +/− 2.73 (p < 0.001) and 3.23 +/− 2.29 (p < 0.001), respectively. The total ODI score for 199 patients improved from 46.56 +/− 15.30 to 33.13 +/− 19.99 (p < 0.001) at three months. Conclusion: Back bracing in combination with physical therapy is effective for treating low back pain.
