I am a true believer in magnetic therapy!  I have used them both on myself 
and my horse.  They work for us!  You could make your own back 
brace...actually I'm thinking of making one for me right now.  I have these 
small magnets from Nikken in little velcro pockets and I think I could 
basically velcro them to the back of my Jockey's (if you get the drift.)  I 
have a recently fractured tailbone that is giving me holy hell and since I've 
had such luck with magnets before, I'm thinking of how to use  them now (only 
6 weeks till Tevis ya know).
