    Periodically, I use a back brace to correct my slouch, which causes lower back and abdominal PAIN. My brace has shoulder straps to ensure my shoulders and back are in alignment and is much wider around my midsection. I only wear for a few hours per day and only a couple days until the pain is relieved. THANK YOU!!!

    @@blackhole4 I hate the name, but KING OF KINGS BACK BRACE is a short corset brace and does a good job under clothes. It sets up on the muscles along the spine, leaving a hollow for your spine. Takes a lot of pressure off your spine, but it rides across my hip flexors at times and I get very tired walking pretty quick at times, weather depending. Could be weather, brace or I'm just getting old (60). Hope it helps.

    Hey R Butler. I also have spinal stenosis that I feel is a result of some jump injuries due to high winds. I never went for treatment while serving but I’ve been to the VA clinic multiple times since I reached 55 (now 61). I’m considering a VA claim but am also very interested in getting a good brace. I was at Bragg from 1981-84.

    Which one is the last brace? I clicked on the one that it says that it's the last one but it looks different. I've had 4 vertebrae fractured many years ago but now I work in the materials dept at GM. One things is that what I drive around is really rough as it crosses joints and imperfections in the concrete plus moving a high amount of stock around is hard on the back. I would like something I could wear that will help with that roughness of the ride and support for my back. Which one of these is most recommended for that?
