Back braces.
Love 'em, hate 'em.
My advice is to wear them when you are back goes out, and only when doing ergonomically incorrect activities.
Like sitting.
Bending over the stove, washer and dryer, brushing teeth. Washing dishes.
Mowing the lawn, vacuuming. You get the idea.
Before you do that ergonomically wrong activity, put your back brace on, complete that bad thing you're going to do, and then take it off.
That's why I like the back braces with the suspenders, you just keep them on you and the ready to cinch up with improper activity.
