How often and for how long should a back brace be worn? It depends on whether there is pain and what activities you are doing. The more pain you have, the more frequently you will want to use support. The pain can be acute - sudden strong onset - or chronic, when there is backache on and off, over a long period of time. A back brace can help you get through the most painful periods. After the acute pain has passed and you reach a tolerable pain threshold, use the brace "as needed", i.e. as a precaution when you are going to put your back under unaccustomed strain. An "on-again, off again" approach will keep you from becoming dependent on the brace. Wearing a back brace can be an important pain prevention strategy for those with a history of acute or chronic back pain. Even for those without back issues, wearing a back support during heavy exertion can help avoid the onset of debilitating back problems. IMPORTANT:Always loosen before sitting and before eating.
