Wearing the waist belt in the right way.

In daily life, we often ignore our waist. After a long time, we have symptoms of low back pain, so we need a belt. The belt is also called a belt, waist, lumbar support, waist circumference, and can be used for conservative treatment of patients with lumbar disease and rehabilitation training for patients after lumbar surgery. Belts are generally composed of breathable fabrics and elastic bands, reinforcing straps and struts. PP strips or steel plates provide support. However, after many low back pain friends wear, the low back pain is not relieved, but it is aggravated. So how should the belt be used correctly?

Under what circumstances we need to use a belt?

The belt is an essential tool for patients with low back pain. It protects the damaged lumbar disc by limiting lumbar activity and alleviating or relieving pain and soreness in the lumbar muscles. Mainly used in the following groups: 

• Lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar muscle strain and other lumbar disease patients, especially patients with acute lumbar disc herniation and acute lumbar sprain; 

• Have undergone lumbar spine surgery, need rehabilitation exercise 

• The crowds with low back discomfort caused by excessive work or fatigue; 

• Working people who need to maintain the same posture for a long time, such as long-distance bus drivers.

How long does the belt have to wear?

The length of time you wear a suppor belt protector cannot be generalized. If the symptoms are acute during the acute phase of low back pain, it is recommended to rest in bed, relieve symptoms or wear a belt under the ground for three days. After the acute phase, if the symptoms of low back pain are heavy, you should wear it frequently. Do not take it off at any time. If you are sick, you can wear a belt when you are out, especially if you are standing for a long time or sitting in a posture. However, it should be noted that the belt is not worn when sleeping or in bed.
