Wait brace belt

Waist support is also called waist circumference, lumbar support. People with back pain will not be unfamiliar with it, but improper use of waist support not only will not protect the waist, but may also aggravate the condition.

After wearing the waist support for a long time, the lumbar muscles will take the opportunity to "laziness", the more they become weaker and weaker. Once the waist support is lifted, the waist muscles cannot adapt to activities without waist protection, which may cause new injuries. Therefore, it is important to learn how to use the waist support correctly.

The role of waist support

Protects waist muscles and relaxes them. Wearing a waist supporter can help maintain the posture of the lower back muscles, improve the stress status of the lower back muscles, relax the muscles, and relieve the symptoms of low back pain.

Fix the waist to prevent further symptoms. The waist support will limit the range of motion of the waist, reduce the damage caused by the movement of the waist, and can prevent the increase of the lumbar disc herniation to a certain extent.

Three principles of using waist support

Wear in the acute phase:

In the acute phase of lumbar spondylosis, when the lumbar symptoms are severe, they should be worn frequently, and should not be removed at any time, and can be used in conjunction with rehabilitation physiotherapy. After wearing the waist support, activities such as lumbar flexion are restricted, but gravity cannot be reduced, so you should still pay attention to avoid excessive waist load when wearing the waist circumference. Generally, you should complete daily life and work as the degree.

Take off when lying down

You need to take off your waist belt when lying down and sleeping. When the symptoms are severe, they should be worn strictly (when you get up to stand)

Unreliable

The lumbar support has a significant limiting effect on the forward flexion of the lumbar spine. By limiting the amount and range of motion of the lumbar spine, the local injured tissue can be rested and a favorable environment can be created for the restoration of blood flow and the repair of damaged tissue. However, long-term inactivity of the waist may lead to wasteful atrophy of muscles, reduced flexibility of the joints of the lumbar spine, dependence on waist circumference, and even new injuries and strains.
