Work Back Brace for Heavy Lifting | Industrial Construction & Warehouse Support Belt With Shoulder Straps

Industrial Work Back Brace for Lifting Heavy Objects

Back braces for work are an in-demand item. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, back injuries account for nearly 20% of all injuries/illnesses on the job and cost the nation between $20 billion and $50 billion each year. Wearing a back belt for lifting can lessen the strain on your back, ease existing pain, and help prevent damage to the structures of your lumbar spine.

Many men and women suffer from lower back pain due to a variety of things such as occupations that require heavy lifting, injuries such as a sprain or pulled muscle, or conditions including:

• Herniated disc

• Degenerative disc disease

• Spondylolisthesis

• Sciatica

If you have a job that requires lifting heavy objects frequently (for example, construction workers, movers, or warehouse workers), this brace can help reduce the pain you might be experiencing after a long day at work. These jobs can cause wear and tear on your spine, especially in your lower back region. This wear and tear can ultimately leave you more prone to other injuries or conditions, which may even eventually require surgery. Therefore, having the correct form can be extremely important for your overall health.

This simple back brace with suspenders does a great job of promoting proper lifting techniques and stops you from bending or twisting at the waist.

As for back conditions (the ones mentioned above), this work belt can help provide support to your lumbar spine as well as your abdomen. By securing this brace, you are immobilizing your lower back region, which reduces the chance of pulling or straining your muscles and ligaments. It can also help treat moderate arthritis and general to chronic lower back pain.

Why wear a heavy lifting back brace for work?

Using a low-back belt to reduce lumbar pain is not a new concept. Such products were originally used during medical rehab, but back belts in the workforce and weightlifting supports have since gained in popularity, both for the added support they provide when lifting, bending, etc. and for their ability to address back pain.

Wearing a back support while working can help reduce stress on your spine, increase intra-abdominal pressure to counteract forces on your spine, and reduce loads when lifting by stiffening your spine. The crisscross straps of this back belt increase its supportive properties and help keep it in place.

Along those same lines, know that wearing a back brace at work should not inflate your self-confidence or sense of security when lifting. While wearing an industrial back brace can help treat and prevent low-back pain, you can still sustain an injury while wearing it—especially if you lift more than you should.

In addition, you should not wear an industrial back support belt around the clock. Doing so can cause the muscles in your back to lose strength and flexibility, leaving you more prone to injury.
