The MedSpec Back-n-Black is a great choice for low back strains and sprains. The brace includes a plastic abdominal panel and a removable lumbar-sacral pad in the rear to resist forward trunk bending and provide support for the lumbar spine. The non-elastic circumferential nylon straps work in conjunction with the plastic abdominal panel and sacro pad to provide true intra-abdominal compression helping to relieve pressure on the lumbar spine. The Back-n-Black is 9 3/4" in width. The product can be used to treat low back pain, strains/sprains, herniated disc injuries, and more.
