Back Support Belts: Recommendations?

[Sheri257]

Actually, I already have a pretty good back support belt, but it's black and I would like to order a white one for my clinical uniforms. Unfortunately, a couple of the brands I like discontinued white versions.

I've found some other white back support belts, but the designs are weird. So I thought I would ask you guys for recommendations and see if they carry anything in beige or white.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't wear one but would focus on strengthening your back instead.

Well, I've always done that too ... exercises and such. But I have to wear a back support belt for some of my clincials at school. It's required by the school and, actually, the state for certain tasks.

Lizz how far along in school are you? For some reason I thought you were finishing prereqs still. Are you starting Nursing classes soon?

I'm no expert, but I really like the Posture S'port. I use this one because along with my low back and abs, it reminds me to keep my upper back/shoulders/neck in proper alignment...good total posture. I wear it over a light t shirt under my uni. You can find them for sale at some orthomedical supply stores ...I think they run about 35-40 bucks and well worth it IMO. If you do a search you will be able to see it online in several places. They come in white.
