Restricted Living
Low back pain and injury can prevent walking, lying down, sitting, standing, bending, driving and many other activities of daily living that we take for granted.
Stabilization

Fact
Twenty percent of workplace injuries are back injuries, costing our nation approximately $35 billion per year.
Research Study
In a Home Depot study, 36,000 employees were required to wear lumbar support belts. Acute low back injuries fell from 30.6 per million hours to 20.2 per million hours, a whopping decrease of 34%.
Coverage
Lumbar support belts are covered by most major insurance plans.
