Use in the right way

The waist support belt is also called waist brace, waist belt, waist support, waist circumference. As a protective gear, it is mostly used for conservative treatment of patients with lumbar spine diseases and rehabilitation training of patients after lumbar spine surgery. The waist protection belt is generally composed of a breathable waist protection net, high elastic left and right elastic belts, and reinforcing belts, which contain semi-rigid aluminum alloy strips or medical fiber plastic strips. The main function of the waist belt is to protect the waist, and to reduce the pain of the waist by restricting the movement of the waist, that is, by limiting the flexion of the lumbar spine, etc., to relieve the pressure in the intervertebral disc, so that the injured intervertebral disc can fully rest, and at the same time reduce the muscles and ligaments around the lumbar spine Burden, prevent the injury from continuing to increase, create good conditions for the patient's body recovery, and protect the waist tissue.

When using the waist belt, place the waist belt with the concave side facing outwards and pad it on the waist. The nylon buckles at both ends overlap and fasten. Then fasten the auxiliary belt buckle in front of the abdomen and adjust the elastic bands on both sides to a comfortable position. It can be worn while lying down or standing, and can be removed and fell asleep when sleeping.

There are many types of waist belts on the market. When buying, you should pay attention to three points. The first is the comfort of the waist belts. Waist protection is worn on the waist, not on the hips. As soon as a good waistband is put on, there is a sense of restraint, and the waist has a feeling of "standing up", and this restraint is comfortable. The second is to have sufficient hardness. A therapeutic waist support must have a certain hardness to support the waist and disperse the stress on the waist. The third is to choose according to the purpose. Lumbar pain caused by lumbar muscle strain and lumbar spine degeneration requires less protection and treatment. You can choose some elastic and breathable waist supporters, which are relatively comfortable and fit.

In life, the time to wear the waistband cannot be generalized. It is not correct to exaggerate the role of the waistband for economic benefits. It is incorrect to encourage long-term wearing, but it should be flexibly adjusted according to the condition. Specific to determine the wearing time under the guidance of a doctor, the longest is generally not more than 3 months. If it is used for a long time, it will restrict blood circulation. Over-fixation will cause muscle atrophy. Once the waist has no strength, it is easy to cause various injuries, and these injuries will burst out after removing the belt. In real life, there are also elderly people who wear waist belts for a long time and cause muscle atrophy and become "waist crunchy". In addition to wearing it scientifically, the waist belt should be gradually removed after the relief of discomfort such as low back pain, normal activities of the waist should be restored, and waist training should be strengthened. The best way to protect your waist is to exercise the strength of your waist muscles. Waist exercises can be performed by simple bench back extensions, two prone positions on your back, and the opposite side of your body.
