A fitted back brace can relieve low back pain and even offer more long-term benefits.
The straps around the brace should adjust to snugly compress the body’s core. This compression helps support the muscles and act as a stabilizer for the spine. With the brace in proper position, the back muscles can relax allowing most people to resume activities with less chance of a spasm or further injury.
Additionally, the support of a back brace can allow the user to commit to an exercise program to stretch and strengthen the spine.
Professionally fit back braces are a safe way to treat a current back injury or to prevent back pain from intensifying.
If you have back pain, call the experts at Health Star Clinic to find the ideal back brace, exercise regimen or back treatment for you.
