Back braces can help manage various conditions. We recommend seeking medical advice for chronic back pain or specific injuries to ensure you choose the right brace. For general lower back pain (lumbar), a flexible, elastic brace is usually a good choice. A semi-rigid brace paired with exercise may be recommended for issues like a herniated disc. Make sure the brace covers the area of injury to provide proper support. If you know the exact vertebra affected, we can help you find the best brace for your needs.
