Posture, Back and Shoulder Braces & Support Straps

Posture and Shoulder Braces & Support Straps to Improve Your Posture

One of the core beliefs we hold here at Dr. Arthritis is that non-invasive solutions are paramount to living a comfortable and relatively pain-free life – no matter what condition you suffer from. The same is true with back pains. Often, they are caused by poor posture or injuries that can easily and effectively be solved with posture and shoulder braces and support straps like those offered here at Dr. Arthritis. Our selection requires little commitment and will not interfere with any other medication you may have been prescribed. Different styles are best suited for those suffering from different kinds of back pains, whether they be posture-related or as a result of injury.

The shoulder braces and posture correctors you can buy from Dr. Arthritis are designed to be simple to use, durable, and comfortable. Available in a range of sizes and in both black and pink colorways, they are ideal when it comes to alleviating pain from injuries like dislocations and inflammations as well as poor posture stemming from rounded shoulders, potbellies, and other sources.

When should you look into getting a posture brace or corrector?

If you’ve been having back pain or have just suffered an injury, buying a back brace or shoulder support strap is a great idea. It is a relatively inexpensive solution and is helpful for a wide range of conditions, as mentioned above. They work by applying compression to the area, aiding blood flow, reducing swelling, and restricting movement or posture positions that could be further exacerbating your condition and worsening symptoms.

This being said, the best shoulder support strap or posture brace is always the one that fits you properly. Their countless benefits will only be properly realized if you both choose the appropriate size for your body (using our sizing charts) and wear it properly – neither too tight nor too loose. If you have any questions about which model brace or what size you should get, feel free to contact us.

 Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have poor posture?

One of the difficulties with back pain caused by posture is that you may not realize you have poor posture until the symptoms are already hampering your day-to-day life. It’s always a great idea to ask your friends or family if they ever notice you with bad posture, as well as ensuring good posture while at work. You can do this by making sure your computer screen (if you use one on a regular basis) is at eye level, and that your back is straight while seated. Smartphones have also become a cornerstone of modern-day life, and you should make the effort to hold it again at eye level to prevent your neck from bending too far and straining your muscles.

Aside from this, signs of poor posture could be the following:

• Rounded shoulders
• Potbellies
• Your head leans too far forwards or backwards
• You get frequent back pains and headaches
• And more.

How long do I need to wear a posture brace for?

One of the benefits of a non-invasive solution is that no harm is done from excessive wearing. At Dr. Arthritis, we recommend you wear your shoulder or posture brace for as long as symptoms persist, or when you expect to be doing strenuous exercises, which could lead to recurring injuries.

What type of posture brace should I get?

This depends on the type and location of your back pain or symptoms. If your injury or symptoms persist in the shoulder region, consider getting our shoulder support strap. If your pain resides along your spine and up to your neck, you may benefit more from a posture corrector that can be adjusted to fit your needs.

Do posture and shoulder braces work?

As medical doctors, we have a keen understanding of how the human body functions. Posture and shoulder braces are a tried-and-tested solution for those with back pain issues. But don’t take our word for it – read some of our many reviews to see real-life results.

Different models may look different – but they all function on the basic principle of helping you maintain a neutral posture position and applying pressure to the symptomatic area.
