In physiotherapy, many patients ask us if it would be advisable to use a back lumbar brace to solve their lower back pain.

The dreaded answer
The use of lumbar braces is not recommended to avoid the appearance of pain in low back pain.

The lumbar brace works by compressing the area and helping the muscles affected by low back pain not do their job accurately. This reduces pain, but by preventing the natural functioning of the muscles, it will weaken further, leaving the lumbar spine even more unstable.

What is low back pain?

Pain or discomfort located between the lower edge of the last ribs and the lower fold of the gluteal area, with or without radiation to one or both legs, can limit activities of daily living and can cause absenteeism from work.
