Spinal Bracing for Back & Neck Support
A spinal brace supports and offloads an injured or painful part of the spine while it heals — reducing strain, limiting aggravating movement, and easing pain. It's a simple, non-invasive tool used on its own or alongside therapy and other treatments.
Conditions We Treat
Vertebral Compression Fractures
A collapse of the front of a vertebra, often from osteoporosis.
Learn MoreHow Bracing Works
Depending on the condition and location, we may recommend a lumbar (lower-back) brace to support and stabilize the low back, or a cervical collar to rest and protect the neck. The goal is targeted, time-limited support: a brace is used long enough to let healing happen, then weaned as strength returns — because relying on a brace too long can weaken the very muscles that protect your spine.
What to Expect
Bracing is painless and worn as directed — often during activity or for a set period each day. We fit the right brace for your anatomy and condition, show you how and when to wear it, and pair it with a physical therapy plan so you build strength as the brace comes off.

How long will I need to wear a brace?
Only as long as needed to support healing — often a defined period or during certain activities. We wean the brace as your strength returns, because over-reliance can weaken the muscles that protect your spine.
Will a brace fix my back problem?
A brace supports healing and relieves pain, but it's usually one part of a plan that also includes therapy. For some conditions it's enough; for others it's a bridge to further treatment.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can schedule directly with our Phoenix spine specialists, and we welcome out-of-network patients.
Which brace is right for me?
That depends on your condition and where it is. We fit a lumbar brace or cervical collar to your anatomy and show you exactly how and when to wear it.
