Forme® For Back Pain

If you’ve ever complained about back pain, you’re not alone. In fact, 8 out of 10 people experience back pain at some point in their lives.

Back pain is defined as pain around the spine, ranging from the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. Due to the increasing prevalence of spine disorders, back pain has become a significant medical, social and economic issue. The Georgetown University Health Policy Institute reports that back pain accounts for about 83 million days of work each year, making it one of the leading causes of work-loss days.

What are the symptoms of back pain?

Symptoms of back pain can range from muscle spasms, tension, or tightness to sharp shooting, burning or stabbing sensations. In some situations, the pain may radiate down your leg, or worsen with movements such as lifting or walking.

What causes back pain?

Poor posture and weakness of muscles are common causes of back pain. It is also frequently caused by occupational hazards or muscle strain, which is often a result of repetitive heavy lifting or sudden movements. Disc disease such as bulging or ruptured discs can also cause back pain, and is more commonly seen among teenage golfers and gymnasts. Other conditions that can cause back pain include arthritis or osteoporosis. Contact your physician if you are experiencing back pain that is severe or does not improve after three days. Treatment varies depending on your symptoms and causes, but may include exercise, medicine, and sometimes surgery.

How can Forme® help with back pain?

Forme® posture correcting wearables were built to reduce muscle spasms and tension by engaging spinal muscle memory to improve alignment, and keep your spine straight and distended. If you undergo surgery for back pain or a related condition, you can use Forme as your initial back care solution to treat the pain. Not only are many of our wearables designed to combat back pain, they are also a versatile, comfortable, and sustainable long-term solution for posture correction.

Forme® For Sciatica

Sciatica is a type of back and hip pain that goes down the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down to your leg. Poor posture can cause the discs between your vertebrae to bulge or rupture, which then presses on your sciatic nerve, resulting in pain, inflammation, and sometimes numbness in the lower back, buttock, or leg. Prolonged sitting or standing often worsens the symptoms of sciatica. Most cases of sciatica are mild and can heal with treatment over a few weeks, however severe cases may require surgery.

What people are saying

“I had been tempted to buy these for awhile now, but was a skeptic. After having terrible knee/hip/back pain, I finally took the plunge and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!! These are so comfortable and I truly notice a difference in how my body feels. 10/10 would recommend. Slowly replacing all my gear with Forme!”

Georgia B.

“I love Forme. I have chronic pain in my SI joint, especially while sitting. While wearing the Forme shorts, I notice the pain is gone. I play a lot of golf, and not having this constant pain is a godsend. If you have back pain, I highly recommend these.”

Harvey K.

“Both the shorts and the tee have been a game changer for me. Been wearing for 6 weeks, and daily back pain after exercising has gone away completely.”

Sarah B.

“I have worn the tee for a week, and I’m already feeling the benefits. I think this is a truly revolutionary piece of clothing. If this helps to reduce back and shoulder pain as I age, then this is worth it compared to costs of doctor’s visits and physical therapy.”

Tu N.

“Wow! These leggings relieved my lower back and hip pain immediately. I want to live in them, but unfortunately cannot wear leggings to work...so I'll be ordering the shorts to wear underneath whatever possible. Thank you Forme.”

Mandra H.

“I broke my C4 and C5 cervical spine, which paralyzed me from the neck down. I put Forme on, and I was able to do things I couldn’t do before. My physical therapy has gone up in efficiency and impact exponentially, and it’s like I have a whole new body.”
