A back brace is a supportive device worn around the torso to help stabilize the spine and reduce pain. It is commonly used for conditions like scoliosis, herniated discs, or after spinal surgery. Back braces can be made from various materials, including fabric and plastic, and are designed to limit movement while providing comfort. These braces come in different styles, such as lumbar support belts for lower back pain or thoracic braces that support the upper back. They are often recommended by healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists and orthopedic surgeons, to aid in recovery and improve posture.
