An orthopedic pad for wearing about the lumbar region of a user and comprising a smoothly contoured body having a template surface bounded by an upper margin and a lower margin. The orthopedic pad includes a central trough portion extending between said upper and lower margins for accommodating the spinal processes of a wearer when the orthopedic pad is pressed against the lumbar region. The orthopedic pad includes two raised plateau regions flanking the central trough portion for contacting the erector spinae muscles of the wearer to provide support therefor. The central trough and the plateau form a smoothly curving surface approximating the lordotic curve of a wearer to assist maintaining spinal posture. The orthopedic pad includes a magnetic pad formed of one or more magnets containing one or more concentric circle partitions conforming to the contoured template surface and extending between the margins and extending over the central trough and the two raised plateau regions to provide a therapeutic magnetic field to the lumbar region.
