Do Back Braces Work for Lower Back Pain ?
A back brace can help unload some of the weight normally placed on the lower back, in the process reducing pressure on the spine's joints, discs, and muscles.
By reducing spinal pressure, a back brace may lessen painful muscle tension that is a common protective reaction following an injury.
