    I’m looking for a brace that will keep my upper back and my right should immobilized. Was involved in M.V.A and have been telling dr. after dr. I need a body cast from the middle of my back to my right shoulder to immoblize it. Will the shoulder back support keep me from moving my right shoulder? The posture aid for the clavicle looks like it might put pressure on muscles under arm, which are injured also.

    The Bauerfeind OmoTrain Shoulder Support or the GivMohr Arm Sling would probably be better choices if you are dealing with pain as opposed to correcting bad posture. Bauerfeind products are great because they are lightweight and VERY effective for treating a number of injuries. Professional athletes even use them. To help with the healing process, I would suggest checking out the Thermotex Shoulder Infrared Heating Pad. Thermotex uses far infrared technology to penetrate deeper into human tissue than any other heating pads, increasing blood flow to affected areas and improving the healing process. I use a Thermotex pad for my knee and my back and it works wonders.
