Stand Tall. Move Freely. Feel Better.

Back pain doesn’t have to be part of aging. Whether it’s soreness after activity, stiffness from sitting, or long-term spinal discomfort, the right back support can help restore posture, ease pain, and keep you active and upright.

At Doc Ortho, we offer comfortable, effective back braces and posture correctors that support your spine, reduce strain, and help you move with confidence.

Why Back Pain Happens as You Age

Back pain is one of the most common reasons adults reduce activity as they get older. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), nearly 80% of people will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives — and for aging adults, it often becomes chronic.

Common causes include:

  • Muscle strain or overuse
  • Poor posture (forward slumping or “tech neck”)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis
  • Sedentary lifestyle or weak core muscles

The right brace or posture corrector can:

  • Support spinal alignment
  • Reduce inflammation and muscle fatigue
  • Improve posture habits over time
  • Allow for safer movement and recovery

How to Choose the Right Back Support

Not all supports are built the same. Consider:

  • Support level: Do you need firm structure or light compression?
  • Pain location: Upper, mid, or low back?
  • Daily activity: Sitting, lifting, walking, or recovery?
