Hey guys! I've tried/fought to get back at back squats for near 2 years, but I've hurt myself way too often even with light weights (sub 2 plates). Since my lower back doesn't allow me to back squat, about 4 months ago I decided to try front squats, I do some stretching before, I do tons of warm-ups sets, slowly increasing my weights sets after sets, form is good, mobility is ok, it all goes well when I use a weight that is under my body weight, but when I go over my body weight it become tricky and often begin to have pain in lower back, pain that goes away very fast sometime, but also sometime pain that last a week or 2.

My question is would it be a good idea to use a belt even though I'm still using light weight (~185lbs) ? Maybe from there I could resume adding weight safely... One chiro said if I was to hurt my back with a belt it would be very bad, my current chiro says it's not true.
