How to Treat Lower Back Pain with a Brace Tutorial | How To Prevent Injury To Your Back

Hi! I am a orthotist prosthetist in Boston, MA. I always see patient wearing their spinal support wrong.
This video is about how to properly don and doff a spinal back brace.
This video shows the most common mistakes people make when wearing a crthotic back brace. Whether its a spinal fracture, low back pain, or surgery, these mistakes can make your pain worse.
You can find these braces online at amazon, target, walmart or any sports store. All are different but will have the same concept.

[@Wobeaux]

Do you see others making the same mistake when wearing the brace?

[@kathleenborsch1312]

Wow, several other channels either give very vague advice regarding placement on the back or even suggest placing part of the brace too low, over the pelvic bones. Also a PT tutorial from my own hospital spine surgery team demonstrates a lower placement.
Your advice confirms what my own "brace guy" told me. Thank you!

I started a job at fed ex this year and i sprained my back by lifting packages with poor posture/ in awkward positions. This video is super helpful, thanks for putting this info out there

[@stevendorn1736]

thank you my brother I appreciate it because I started a new job in Las Vegas on the zipline where we have to pick up these heavy ass trolleys that go on the zip line to hold the Rider up ...this is a 10-hour shift for me picking up these trolleys and going up and down stairs.. so I need a back brace I need to know how to wear one ...after watching your Channe I'm convinced I have the proper knowledge now thank you so much

[@SaucyBegger25]

They definitely do work as I couldn’t walk without it. After a few days wearing it to work it was working wonders. But the last 2 days of the week it was causing pain. On the last day of the week I actually had to take it off n my back was feeling a lot better

[@trohh]

super informative, finding this video was like finding a needle in a haystack. all the videos before this were just "grab the brace, put it on your back, tighten straps, thanks for watching" like wtf anyone can figure that much out haha.
Thanks for giving the important information

[@anthonylawlor2904]

Great video. I was wearing my back brace incorrectly and had given up on it. Now I feel the support and the pain is gone! Thanks!

[@pawstalk]

This is awesome. Guilty, guilty, guilty of wearing my brace too low. This is the only video I've found that actually clarifies how to wear it. Thank you for that. Do you have a link to the brace you are using? Or recommendations? Thanks again. Very helpful. :)

[@Wobeaux]

The brace I used is called “sleeq AP” back brace. It can be found in Amazon but I still recommend seeing an Orthotist to make sure it supports your back.

[@edensdoor9592]

[@thatssojasmine.]

I can’t walk for 5 minutes in the mall without my back killing me. Will this help? My friend just recommended a back brace I never heard of them before

[@chillymc66]

👍

[@edyates4013]

Answered every issue I was unsure of with detail, and I thought by the length of it that it would be alot of gibberish but it takes that amount of time to put your brace on the first time only. Has any doubt you may have come up their answered? Thank you

[@buzzboyz985]

Those pull tabs look very flimsy, are they really dialling in enough compression? My dad uses a Medibrace back support and it really helps him.

[@lauralewis5129]

[@RL_Stine_88]
