Back issues and running

I have a question for other people who suffer chronic back pain who also run. I have scoliosis, spondylosis and facet arthritis. Apparently the scoliosis was caused by my left leg being almost an inch shorter than my right. I have a shoe lift to help even me out and it helps my hips. My back is still an issue though.
Has anyone ran with a brace? If so, what kind? What other options are out there? I really don't want to give up walking/jogging/running. I love it. It's a great release. I just want to be a little more comfortable while doing it.
