Are you looking to get a quality back brace?
Maybe you have heard of the benefits of these kinds of supports, but you are not quite sure which one to get...
1.) Introduction
We are here to help you make a quality decision. Even if you know nothing about back supports, you will be better off after this article has been read. You will also be glad to know that this information is free of name brands, so you know we are not trying to push one manufacturer in this article. Remember, the best back brace for you depends on the severity of your symptoms and diagnosis. We will talk about two important designs in the later sections.
2.) First, Why Get a Lower Back Support?
Lower back braces can be extremely helpful when you have a lower back problem. This could be a muscle strain or a herniated disc for example. There are many other reasons to get support, but the benefits can be extremely helpful. Just ask your doctor if a back support can help you and they be readily able to point to the medically documented information that promotes the use of quality made lower back supports as a conservative treatment method.
Braces for your lumbar and sacral spine can help to reduce pain. They do this by providing you with meaningful support and motion control. We always say, why push an injured back too far? A back support can help to limit excessive movements that can be easily made. This alone helps to promote healing of an injured internal back structure. - Moreover, a lumbar or sacral back support can also help to biomechanically off load an injured disc or muscle strain, for example, by increasing intercavitary pressure. This is a medically documented biomechanical principle that can seriously help to reduce your pain the moment you put the support on!
3.) Which Back Support is Best For You? - Read On...
When it comes to getting a back support, do not get confused by the brand name. There are a lot of quality back supports out there, so you will have to look at the make up of the brace. Many corset type braces available are made of a canvas type material. These may or may not include internal panels. However, our point is that these braces can be really helpful, but they are usually meant to act as a reminder to you not to make certain movements that may hurt you. They can help reduce pain, for sure, but they are not considered to be rigid in design.
There are rigid back braces that really help to immobilize your lower back. This can be a good thing. These more rigid types of braces will also stop lower back movements and they are much more rigid than what we considered to be a "reminder" in the previous paragraph. When the injury is a little more serious, you may want to bump up your level of support to a rigid lower back brace to help promote healing.
There is always more to learn, and to make it easy, you should consider talking to your brace specialist. They can quickly guide you through the maze of back braces and help you to make your decision more easy.
