Is it the ONLY hard shell back brace on the market? If they can't adjust it properly, something seems wrong, and perhaps a different (kind of) brace is in order.

This may take some serious homework/advocacy on your part. I've not had to deal a back brace (yet) but I've had to do battle for other medical equipment that wasn't right. I don't know this, but it may be that your spine clinic has some kind of arrangement with one particular supplier. I'd check with other medical supply houses to find out if there are any other braces. Also check with your insurance carrier; they may have other suppliers for you to check with as well.

HTH & Best Wishes,

Doc
