Notice this about waist support belt

Therefore, it is important to learn to use the waist properly.

2. Fix the waist to prevent further symptoms. Waist protection will limit the range of waist activity, reduce the damage caused by the waist activity, and to a certain extent can prevent the lumbar disc herniation.
