BACK BRACE FITTING
Back pain affects millions of people every year — whether from injury, posture issues, or chronic conditions. One of the most effective ways to relieve discomfort and support healing is through the use of a back support brace. But not all back supports are created equal — and perhaps more importantly, not all are fitted properly.
Why Use a Back Support?
Stabilize the spine during movement
Limit motion after injury or surgery
Improve posture
Relieve pressure on spinal structures
Reduce muscle strain in the lower back
They are commonly used for:
Herniated discs
Degenerative disc disease
Sciatica
Postural support
Post-operative recovery
Occupational or sports-related strain
