Back Support Braces or Belts can assist with lower back pain or strain while working. Back Supports are used when continuous lifting is involved in work by improving lumbar and abdominal support when using a forward motion. Back Supports will take pressure off the lower spine if constantly standing or carrying heavy loads.

It is important to note that Back Supports should not be used to correct or mask existing issues, they are only for additional support.
