Braces & Support

Whether you suffer from chronic back pain or sudden acute back pain, you are in a group of millions of Americans that experience the relentless discomfort that comes for so many reasons and often goes untreated.

For some people, back pain comes suddenly from simple injuries. Maybe you twisted the wrong way or fell playing a game of football. Most simple injuries don’t require more treatment than bed rest and taking it easy for a while, but even simple injuries can turn into more extensive problems if left untreated.

Back braces are a common type of treatment for many different types of back injuries and back issues. In Idaho Falls, Advanced Health Chiropractic uses back braces to help limit movement of an injured area in simple injuries and in chronic pain sufferers.

Chronic pain can be much more complex to treat and because of that, back braces are almost mandatory. There are different types of back braces designed for different types of back ailments to provide the best treatment and the most comfort possible. For major back problems like scoliosis and back injury, there are specific braces designed to help treat and correct the problem.

Scoliosis back braces help realign the spine. With scoliosis, the patient develops an actual curve in the spine, causing the backbone to bend. This is a painful condition and often starts during pre-teen to teenage years. Back braces can apply external pressure that will help straighten the curve that is developing. Back braces such as these are not invasive and provide an alternative remedy to cases where surgery might have been necessary.

Back braces are also prescribed to patients who have undergone back surgery. These braces are typically made out of plastic and designed to limit movement in the body and decrease the risk of further injury. As with scoliosis back braces, these braces are worn during the day and at night while sleeping.

Generally, while wearing a back brace, you won’t want to do any lifting or make any quick movements. Back braces are made with the intention of limiting movement and preventing further injury.
