- I want to play golf again but I suffer spondylitis on L4 and L5. Will this brace help to stabilize this so I can play again?
- The only back brace that will allow you to play golf and provide some light support to the back is the Sunders S'port All Back Support w/Shorts. It is a elastic back support attached to shorts so that the back support will not rise up on your body while moving

- I have a herniated disc in my back (L5 S1) that has left me with pins and needles and numbness in my right foot. I'm a 72 year old golfer and wonder which one of your products, if any, you'd recommend, and would it have any effect on my foot. I've had this problem for a year. Thank you.
- Wearing a back brace will force you to stay into a neutral position which may help alleviate some of the problems you are having with the Herniated disk. The best support will be the EXOS FORM 626 http://www.betterbraces.com/exos-form-626-spine-bracing-system

If you want a brace that she can wear while playing basketball then I would suggest the Saunders All S'Port Back Support. The back support is attached to shorts so that it will not roll up on her while moving

- Hi,
I've had pain in my lower back due to a degenerative disc for the last 4 years or so. I'm an avid cyclist, and the pain gets very annoying when I'm doing strenuous climbing; steep hills, mountains (among other things). Is this something I could where while riding my bike? - Neil
You do not want to wear the DonJoy Back brace while doing vigorous activity. The Saunders S'port All Back Support is the only back brace that I would reccommend wearing while doing activity. The brace is elastic to allow for movement, but still should give some support to the lower back. http://www.betterbraces.com/s-port-all-back-support-w-shorts

- 1. The Don Joy Back Brace appears to come in 3 versions--Regular (10"), Lite (9") and Low Profile (8"). Is that correct? I deduced this from the discussions above.
2. Are there any pictures of the front of this brace? - There are three versions, we unfortunatlydo not have picture of the front of the brace. The Regular and the Low Profile have an anterior panel in the front of the brace that attaches to the belt. the Lite does not come with this panel.

- i have disk herniations in L4/L5 and I was wondering if you recommended the Don Joy Back brace Lite or Regular? What is the difference between the two?
- Misha
The Don Joy Back Brace would be a good option for you. The difference between the Regular and the lite is the height of the belt. The Regular is 10 inches and the Lite is 9 inches and does not come with an anterior panel

- I have L-5/6 herniation, like AJ, 200 LBS 5'10" and I have to work,can I wear this to work ? Can I claim it on my insurance ?

You can wear this brace under your shirt to work. We do not except insurance on the website. We can bill insurance if you have a prescrition from your physician and you purchase the brace through one of our sales reps.

- I purchased this for my husband. Can this brace be worn all day? Or how many hours per day can it be worn?
- Tammy
This brace can be worn all day if needed. I would not reccommend wearing it to bed but it is supposed to keep the lower back in a good position while walking sitting etc.

- I have SI problems and low back problems after being hit by a car riding my bike. I looked at the SI brace and think this one would serve both problems. Is my thinking right? I had a total hip replacement, if that helps you answer the question. Thank you.
- The SI brace will help with SI joint problems but not lowerback. For both I would suggest the DonJoy Back Brace in the Low Profile version. It is 8" tall in the back but will support the lumbar spine and although it does not cross the SI joint it should help your positioning to decrease SI pain http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-back-brace

- I had L5-S1 Anterior fusion 8 months which did not fuse. I need a rigid brace for that level. Any suggestions?
Thanks - BD
Either the donJoy Back Brace or the Exos FORM 627 will give you rigid support in the back and there is anterior panel to prevent bengin forward too much. If you need more rigid protection the DonJoy LSO with Chairback has a rigid panel in the back of the brace. http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-back-brace http://www.betterbraces.com/exos-form-627-spine-bracing-system http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-lso-w-chairback

- Hi, I am looking at this brace for my mother.
She has no cushion left between her L4 and L5 vertebrae.
She is also a nurse, constantly lifting people from their beds.
I want her to have support and protection while lifting, but be able to remove or loosen the brace when not in need of support. - Mike
Thank you for contacting product support. This back brace would be perfect for your mother. It provides support from L1 to L5 and is adjustable

- Glenn,

- Which style is best suited for a 110 lb 5' 3" skinny girl with
protruding, herniated disc? - Hello Christina,
Are you in the Acute Phase now? Did this injury just occur, if so you may need more rigid support now. If this is more of a chronic issue and you having been dealing with this injury for 6+ months you may just need a non-rigid brace. Here are your options.

- does this product 'ride' up your back or will it stay in place?
- The DonJoy Back Brace should not ride up or move around while wearing it. The compression straps will help keep the brace in position.

Reviewed by: wild billI had to have back surgery due to having my back broken in 3 places they had to fuse all my lumbar and 2 thoracic vertebrates plus rods and screws this brace reduced the pain enough that that I used less pain med.by several pills a dayPosted on March 9, 2015Very beneficial
Reviewed by: NancyI'm actually ordering one in a smaller size because I've lost weight and this one is now too big. Once I got used to it, it's pretty comfortable considering how big it is. I have too many things going on with my lower back to mention, but if I go more than 10 minutes without it (unless I'm sitting in my comfy chair) I'm starting to hurt a lot worse. It gives a lot of support and really helps!Posted on September 14, 2013Best brace out there!
Reviewed by: SueI work as a Dental Hygienist and have spinal stenosis, plus a whole lot more.
I had to cut back to 2 days due to my back.
If I didn't have this brace, I couldn't work AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed by: MaryI am 14 and I recently fell off a horse and got a compression fracture. My L-3 vertebra is no wedge shaped instead of rectangular. There is also a big crack across it. This brace provide great support and pain relief. This brace was given to me by an orthopedic specialist. He said this is his favorite brace brand. The only thing I don't like is the strings in the back come lose and I have to take it off and readjust it every couple of hours.Posted on February 3, 2011 - at 8/22/2016 8:43 PM
