Spinal Bracing, also known as orthosis, is a support that you wear on your back. There are different types available that have a range of uses including preventing excessive joint movement after an injury, improving joint alignment, and reducing joint pain or muscle tension. They work by reducing pressure on your muscles to support your spine.
