Back Support Braces
The Typical Back Brace
Back braces have been around for 60+ years, and most people have put one on at one time or another. A typical back brace uses elastic to tighten around the waist and hips to create compression and stabilize the core, which in many cases can provide short-term relief for lower back pain. Back braces are also used to heal acute lumbar issues such as bulged/herniated discs or sciatica. Although back braces do not cure a condition, they are instrumental in a treatment or “healing period”. Back braces are also worn for heavy physical activities if core muscles are not strong enough to support the activity.
The BaxMAX Back Brace
When the BaxMAX was created, we considered all of the shortcomings of a typical back brace in our design. First, the BaxMAX is not made of elastic. It’s made of a thin, porous nylon fabric (stitched with Kevlar), so it is breathable and doesn’t stretch like an elastic back brace. The material compound makes it highly durable (it has a 5-year warranty) yet comfortable enough to wear all day if needed, plus it doesn’t hold heat so that you won’t get hot and sweaty.
Merckling Family Chiropractic carries the BaxMAX Support Brace, providing our patients with one of America’s leading back support solutions.

Custom Orthotics – Foot Levelers
Foot Levelers custom orthotics are a research-proven solution for plantar fasciitis, low back pain, ankle sprains/ankle instability, knee pain, and many other musculoskeletal conditions.
How Do Foot Levelers Custom-Made Functional Orthotics Work?
Feet are the foundation of the body—foot imbalance or dysfunction can have ripple effects, transferring imbalance (and pain) to the ankles, legs, knees, hips, spine, shoulders, even the skull. Foot Levelers orthotics are custom-built to balance and support your unique feet and body and to suit the demands of your individual lifestyle and activities. By balancing and supporting the feet, they help balance and support the spine, which can help relieve pain and improve your body’s overall biomechanics.
Digital Foot Scanner
At Merckling Family Chiropractic, we can perform a 3D foot scan, providing a full postural assessment. Utilizing the Postural Stability Indicator™, the scanner pinpoints any imbalances and asymmetries between your feet. This allows us to provide customized orthotics explicitly tailored to your feet.
