Prolozone therapy will help you much better than the brace.

It can help, but I also recommend working with a physical therapist for proper strengthening and stabilization exercise.
Mostly it would weaken back muscles, however, if you're only wearing it to get through your daily activities, it may help relieve some symptoms. There are more appropriate activities directed toward helping your back heal.

In general, it is best to avoid back braces as they weaken your own natural back brace, i.e., the transverse abdominus.
It certainly won't hurt you, so my advice is to try one. If you feel like it helps, then continue to wear it
Hope it helps!!
