Milwaukee back brace, wore it in high school. It corrected the curvature of my spine enough that I was considered healthy. I went on to have 4 children and have occasional back pain but nothing terrible. During the time I wore the back brace, I wanted to be invisible and I felt a disconnect from my body.
