Supportive and Reliable
The Aspen Lumbar Support Brace features integrated vertical stays that offer structural integrity without compromising flexibility. Its anterior panels overlap to provide support to the front of the waist. Hook-and-loop fastenings keep the brace in place. Two pull tabs allow users to adjust the compression and fit of the brace as needed. The brace provides trunk stability and helps ease pain in the lower back caused by flare-ups, spasms, or muscle fatigue.
How To Choose the Right Size Back Brace
Choosing the Aspen Lumbar Support in the correct size is imperative to getting the support that is needed. In order to find the correct size, measurements must be taken. Do not select size by pant size or by the size of the natural waistline.
Wrap a soft and flexible measuring tape around the body at the widest area where the brace will sit. This is typically the hips. Use the result to select the proper size. If the measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger of the two. The Aspen Lumbar Support Belt can be tightened to accommodate, plus the front may overlap for better stability.
