Where can I buy a weighted kypho-orthosis?

Recently in working with my chiropractor she pointed me towards a published paper about the management of cervicogenic headaches with physical therapy and postural changes with the aid of a weighted kypho-orthotic.
I did the exercises and they've been helping tremendously. I want to try the Weighted Kypho-Orthosis but I can't find one on google. Where can I buy one? Thanks!!
Can you ask your chiropractor for a recommendation? If they’re the one who made the recommendation, they can probably tell you better than us what to look out for, what might look similar but doesn’t do the right thing/s, and maybe vet examples.

Listen, I confess immediately thinking chiropractors are total BS and scammers. But that said, if this therapy is working for you, I'd send an email to the authors of that paper and ask them directly. I'll bet you get an answer from one of them, and it won't be something you'll be forced to buy at an outrageous markup from your chiropractor.

Response by poster: Yeah, I agree. I generally think Chiropractors are BS.
I already emailed the corresponding author from my .edu email address. No response.
And I intentionally didn't wanna get the one my chiropractor offered me that cost more than my car.
