Before you go out and buy a fancy back brace thinking it’s the solution to your problem- try this first! Let me show you how to use a bed sheet as a makeshift back brace, plus explain why it potentially helps and what it means for your recovery. It’s super simple to try at home and find out very quickly if it helps your back or sciatica pain or not.
First, fold the bed sheet so that it’s about the width of your torso. Place it on the bed, and lie down on top of it such that the bottom edge falls an inch or two below your hip bones (you’ll be able to feel the points of your anterior superior iliac spine lying down). Then, tie er’ up, making things nice and snug. (Disclaimer- don’t tie so tightly that you can’t breath… oh, and bunny ears/bow doesn’t work, just tie a knot haha)
Then, roll out of bed and see what effect it has on your ability to move pain free. For example, if walking was problematic prior, then retest your ability to walk. If bending, or stairs, or a specific chore was painful, retest that with your new “back brace” on and see how it feels.
Then ask yourself… Do things feel same, better, or worse?
If better, a back brace might be of value to you and you may want to consider purchasing one. Check out the back brace I recommend here: amzn.to/3WMb0S0
If same, then a back brace is unlikely to help (don't bother buying one).
If worse, then a back brace may actually make things worse, and you should NOT buy one.
Hope this video helps you figure out if a back brace is something that will be useful for you.
Final question I get, “Does wearing a back brace weaken your core?” NO!
Wearing a bed sheet around your waist or putting on a back brace daily is not a forever solution- but it can be useful to give yourself a sense of safety when moving around while your body is healing.
