Should You Use a Back Brace?

Are you interested in back braces, but have heard some poor things about them?

There is long running debate over back braces. Some professionals argue that you shouldn’t wear back braces because they can cause your back muscles to weaken, but others contend that they don’t cause problems.

Here’s the good news – for this application, it makes no difference who’s right. If you use the brace on a limited basis, you’ll get the benefit of the brace without allowing your muscles to atrophy.

If you can’t stand in place or walk very far without having back pain, you’re a great candidate for a back brace. Using it correctly can help you be more active and enjoy your life with less pain.
