| HISTORY |
| Therapist
with back pain invents the ACTIVE SI BELT® to treat
SI Joint Pain |
| A Company
Is Born |
 In
1996, Greg Specht injured his lower back / sacroiliac
joint while helping his family to renovate a new home.
He was in SEVERE pain. Being a Physical Therapist, he
knew that he had a sacroiliac joint problem and fully
expected an SI belt to help. He was counting on it, since
he had promised to help move furniture in a few days.
One by one, Greg tried every sacroiliac belt that he could
find. While the rigid, narrow sacroiliac belts were uncomfortable,
the wide elastic SI belts were ineffective and none of
them stayed in place or alleviated his SI joint pain during
activity. In this case, pain was the mother of invention
as Greg developed the basic design of the ACTIVE SI BELT®.
While wearing his new sacroiliac belt, Greg eliminated
his SI joint back pain and was able to lift and move furniture
without difficulty. Greg realized then that he had invented
a sacroiliac belt that would help a lot of people with
SI joint problems. After two years of product development,
Greg had a sacroiliac belt on which he was proud to place
his name, and he subsequently went about forming the company
that would become Specht Orthopedic, Inc. |
| Never Satisfied |
| Despite the
great effectiveness and popularity of the ACTIVE SI BELT®
from 1998-2004, we decided to improve the design of our
sacroiliac belt in 2005 when we added a Side Release Buckle
for easy on/off and changed to a grade of Neoprene that
is 100% Latex Free. |
| New Products |
| While Greg is
currently developing several new products that have the
same ease of use and functionality of our sacroiliac belt
none are commercially available at this time. If you would
like to be informed of new product offerings in the future,
leave your contact
information and we will drop you a line as new products
become available |
