Lower Back Support for Lumbar Pain Considering the millions of people who suffer from back pain each year, with much of this pain centering in the lower back, it is not surprising that lower back pain brace items are an in-demand item in the world of orthotics. Indeed, an estimated 80% of Americans will experience low-back injury or pain at some point in their lives, according to a WebMD article that cites Ronald J. Sisneski, MD. Low back pain is not a condition, but rather a symptom, that, in most cases, can be eliminated or at least managed, often with the help of a lumbar support brace. BraceAbility offers a wide array of lumbar braces for the wide variety of conditions and injuries that can cause low-back pain. Lumbar Brace for Degenerative and Herniated Discs The low-back area of the body and the spine supports the weight of the entire upper body and is subject to a substantial amount of stress. Over time, this can cause the protective cushioning discs of the spine to wear down, as is the case for arthritis, or they can be injured, ruptured or bulged. Herniated or degenerated disc treatment involves taking anti-inflammatory medications, applying ice and heat to the low-back, massaging the area, engaging in physical therapy and using lower back support belts like our lumbar back brace for chronic pain or spinal stenosis back brace . These low-back braces support and stabilize the back to reduce pressure on the spine. Both of these lumbar back supports feature lightweight, breathable material, and a low-profile design so they can easily be worn under clothes. The spinal stenosis back brace comes with a gel pack for heat or ice therapy. It features rigid inserts so that one receives ultimate support with this adjustable back support. The lumbar back support belt features moisture wicking and it odor absorbing fabric, making it a good choice for an active individual. Unfortunately, conservative treatment methods are not always effective, so surgery may be needed to
