A member asked:
Wil a back brace help with severe sciatica?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: A brace is very unlikely to help with sciatica. If you back muscles are weak, pt may help that and a back brace may be helpful for certain positions such as times when you will be standing or sitting for very long but it will not help with the underlying sciatica.

Possibly: However do not rely on that brace all the time as it will make your muscles weaker and you may make things worse. Braces/supports are typically helpful in situations when you need to do activity.
