ABSTRACT:
A system for preventing and treating most lower back disorders provides an upwardly and forwardly directed compressive force exerted against the sacroiliac joint of the human body. Particularly, an inventive back brace is disclosed as including a support dimensioned to extend along the backside of the body generally from the lumbar region of the spine downwardly at least to the ischial tuberosity of each of the pelvic bones. A pair of adjustable leg straps and a flexible wrap dimensioned to extend around the lower torso are operatively connected to the support for tightening the support against the buttocks of the wearer so as to provide the desired compressive force against the sacroiliac joint.
