Details
Whether it's a herniated disc, sciatica, or just years of hard living catching up — your lower back needs real support, not a heating pad and wishful thinking.
The Back Brace is constructed with nylon + Spandex Blend, Plastic Support Stays, 100% Latex Free.
Dual elastic tension straps and built-in vertical stays lock your core in place while you lift, sit, or push through the day. May be HSA/FSA eligible through Truemed if you qualify.
The Pouch Is the Point
Most back braces just squeeze. This one has a pouch built into the panel that sits over your lower back, sized for a single Old Bones gel pack. Slide one in and the cold lands exactly where the ache is, from the lumbar spine down through the sacrum, held there by the brace instead of by your hand.
Ice It or Heat It
The gel packs work both ways. Freezer for ice when something is inflamed and angry. Microwave for heat when you wake up stiff and need to loosen up before you move. Same pack, same pouch, whichever your back is asking for that day.
Why Two Packs
The pouch holds one. We sell them in twos because a gel pack only stays cold for so long, and the moment it goes lukewarm your icing session is over. Keep the spare in the freezer and you can swap in a fresh one without waiting around. One is on your back, one is getting cold. That is the whole trick.

Common Questions
Can I wear this under my work clothes?
Yes. Our back brace has a slim profile designed to be worn discreetly under shirts, scrubs, and work uniforms.
What size back brace should I get?
Measure around your waist at your navel. S/M fits 27" to 34", L/XL fits 34" to 43", and XXL fits 43" to 50". Go by the measurement, not your pants size. If you land right on 34" or 43", both sizes fit: size down for firmer support, or size up for a looser fit.
How long should I wear the back brace each day?
Wear it for the parts of your day that put strain on your back: lifting, a long shift on your feet, a skate session, a long drive. Take it off when you're resting or sleeping. If a doctor or physical therapist has given you a wear schedule, always go with theirs.
Should I get the gel packs with it?
The brace has a pouch built into the lower back panel that holds one gel pack, so you can ice or heat the area while you are wearing it. Add the 2-pack on this page if you want temperature therapy alongside the compression. If you only need support, the brace on its own does that.
How many gel packs does the pouch hold?
One at a time. Most people keep a second pack in the freezer so they can swap in a fresh cold one the moment the first goes lukewarm.
Does the pouch work for heat too?
Yes. The same gel packs go in the microwave for heat therapy. Ice tends to be the move for a fresh flare-up, heat for stiffness that has been hanging around.
Where on my back does the pouch sit?
Over the lower back, covering the lumbar spine down through the sacrum. That is the area the brace is built to support.
How long should I ice for?
Fifteen to twenty minutes at a stretch is the usual guidance, then give your skin a break before going again. Keep a layer of fabric between the gel pack and bare skin.
Can I wear the back brace with sciatica or a herniated disc?
Yes. Lots of our reviewers wear it while dealing with sciatica or a herniated disc. It supports and compresses your lower back as you move, and the built-in pouch puts ice or heat right on the sore spot at the same time. Think of it as one part of your recovery routine, alongside the care your doctor or physical therapist recommends. If pain starts traveling down your leg or you notice numbness, let them know.
Is the Back Brace HSA/FSA eligible?
It may be, if you qualify. Select Truemed at checkout and complete a short health survey about the condition you are treating. If you qualify, an independent licensed practitioner issues a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN), which is what makes the purchase a qualified medical expense rather than a general wellness purchase. Truemed is for qualified customers. HSA/FSA tax savings vary. Learn more about HSA/FSA eligibility.
