Back Braces
Back Braces at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists
Back braces, also known as lumbar sacral orthoses, are a proven and effective conservative treatment for managing and preventing the worsening of spine-related pain. At Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists, we frequently prescribe back braces to help stabilize the spine, minimize intra-discal pressure, and support weak spinal muscles. This non-invasive solution can play a crucial role in managing chronic back discomfort and aiding in your recovery.
How Back Braces Work
A back brace provides support by stabilizing your spine, reducing pressure on the discs, and limiting movements like bending and twisting that can aggravate your condition. Depending on the severity of your pain, using a brace may allow you to maintain an active lifestyle, both at home and at work, without experiencing significant discomfort. Some patients report that braces help them enjoy activities they previously avoided due to pain.
Benefits of Back Braces
- Pain Relief: Reduces the load on the spine, alleviating pressure and easing discomfort.
- Post-Operative Support: Following surgery, braces help protect the spine and promote quicker healing by restricting harmful movements.
- Stability: Provides external support to weak spinal muscles, allowing for safer movement and reducing the risk of injury.
- Enhanced Mobility: Many patients find they can return to their daily routines and enjoy more activities by wearing a back brace.
