A back support or back brace can be extremely effective at improving back posture as part of the treatment and management of low back pain. One of the key aims of physiotherapy treatment for back ache is to improve posture. Painful back conditions such as Sciatica, slipped disc, sacro iliac joint pain, facet syndrome, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease can benefit from physiotherapy treatment and wearing a back support.
Back rehabilitation is achieved through specific low back pain exercises known as core stability exercises. These exercises improve spinal stability and posture. A back support or back brace can provide a physical reminder to improve posture as it prevents slouching and bad posture. Good posture relies upon a forward curve in the lower back, which is known as the lordosis. If the lordosis is maintained during sitting and activities then the upper part of the spine will be in the best posture to deal with the loads that are placed on the back.
Back supports and braces are made from neoprene and other breathable fabrics for extra comfort. The neoprene material of a back support or back brace provides warmth and support that can help to relieve back pain, reduce back muscle spasm and enhance healing. Back supports and braces feature plastic or metal reinforcing side stays which provide sufficient support to improve posture - they are particularly effective in back pain prevention for people who need support during heavy lifting and handling. Back pain, especially sacro iliac joint dysfunction can occur during pregnancy due to ligamentous laxity as the pelvis enlarges. A back support is impractical during pregnancy so a pregnancy belt or trochanteric belt is more appropriate to provide sacro iliac support during pregnancy.
