BraceAbility's LSO Sciatica back brace is a unique disc unloader support that eases pain by taking pressure off the lumbar discs and shifting the load to your abdominal region. The lumbosacral support is constructed of lightweight, soft material that is breathable and non-irritating to your skin. The anterior and posterior panels of the sciatica back brace can hold anatomically designed inserts, supporting the natural curve of your spine. A reusable gel pack is also included, providing your choice of cold or hot therapy, if desired. This back brace can help with a number of back conditions and injuries, including herniated, degenerative, bulging, or slipped discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, facet syndrome, spondylolisthesis, general lumbar weakness, non-displaced spinal fractures (L2-L5), and more. The modular design of this back brace helps ease intradiscal pressure through circumferential compression. The compression feature of this back brace increases blood flow, reduces pain, and promotes healing for treatment. KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS REUSABLE GEL PACK INCLUDED The belt can hold a gel pack for cold or heat therapy. Created to provide supportive relief and freedom of movement for any lifestyle and body type, our heat and ice therapy lower back wrap holds your heated pad or ice pack in place so you don’t have to! ANATOMICALLY DESIGNED INSERTS The rigid back panels are made of medical-grade, ABS plastic inserts—a durable, impact- and heat-resistant material. The hard panels are contoured to your body, supporting the natural curve of your spine. Both panels can be removed, depending on the level of compression you desire or for washing. DOUBLE-PULL TENSION STRAPS Get energized and revitalized with compression that supports your back muscles, giving you relief from everyday stiffness or soreness from an injury. The adjustable, double-pull tension straps can provide targeted support and form-fitting compression to alleviate swelling and lower back pain fast! CONVENIENT HAND LOOPS If you have limited upper body strength or arthritis, make sure to use the convenient hand loops. These make it easy to apply and remove the brace without discomfort. MEDICAL-GRADE VELCRO The Velcro straps are much stronger than most. That is because these are medical-grade Velcro straps, which are 10 times stronger than the retail-grade Velcro you’ll find on braces at Walgreens, Walmart, or your local drugstore. COMFORTABLE & BREATHABLE You don’t have to worry about the brace rubbing or irritating your skin because it's comprised of a soft and breathable material. Thanks to this lightweight material, you can wear the support beneath or over your clothes, depending on your preference.
