Sarah's daeneryssnugglebornHi guys, I’m new to dodgerslist. Just wondering, are braces ever used to prevent new episodes?

Hi Sarah, welcome to the Forum. We are glad you joined us here! At that discussion page on braces dodgerslist.boards.net/thread/826/back-braces:- A brace would not be a preventative measure. Disc disease is the cause of prematurely aging discs…a disc problem happens at the point the disc has hardened too much. Any activity such as turning to lick a paw or putting on and off a brace could be the last straw for a disc that is no longer flexible. Would tell us a little bit about your dog? Is he having a current disc episode? We would feel just awful to answer questions not knowing anything about your dog. Might delay getting help or take the discussion in the wrong direction. Look forward to hearing back from you!
