Waist support belt

Waist support belt, also known as waist belt, waist support, lumbar support, waist circumference, as a protective gear, is mostly used for conservative treatment of patients with lumbar spine diseases and rehabilitation training for patients after lumbar spine surgery. The waist protection belt is generally composed of a breathable waist protection net, high elastic left and right elastic bands, and a reinforcing band, and there are semi-duralumin alloy strips or medical fiber plastic strips inside. The main function of the waist belt is to protect the waist, and to relieve low back pain by restricting the movement of the lumbar spine, that is, by restricting the flexion of the lumbar spine and other movements to relieve the pressure in the intervertebral disc, so that the damaged intervertebral disc can be fully rested, and at the same time, it reduces the muscles and ligaments around the lumbar spine. Burden, prevent the injury from further aggravating, create good conditions for the recovery of the patient’s body, and protect the waist tissue.

When using the waist protection belt, place the concave side of the waist protection belt outwards and place it on the waist. The nylon buckles at both ends overlap and buckle tightly. Then buckle the secondary belt buckle in front of the abdomen, and adjust the elastic bands on both sides to a comfortable position. It can be worn when lying supine or standing, and can be removed to fall asleep when sleeping.
There are many types of waist protection belts on the market. When purchasing, pay attention to three points. One is the comfort of the waist protection belt. Waist support is worn on the waist, not on the hips. A good waist protector has a sense of restraint as soon as it is put on, and the waist has a feeling of "standing up", and this restraint is comfortable. The second is to have sufficient hardness. A therapeutic waist protector must have a certain degree of hardness to support the waist and disperse the force on the waist. The third is to choose according to the purpose. Waist pain caused by lumbar muscle strain and degeneration of the lumbar spine does not require high protection and treatment. You can choose some elastic and breathable waist protection. This kind of waist protection is relatively comfortable and close to the body.

In life, the time of wearing a waist belt cannot be generalized. It is not correct to exaggerate the role of a waist belt for economic benefits and encourage long-term wearing. Instead, it should be adjusted flexibly according to the condition. The specific wear time should be determined under the guidance of a doctor, and the longest is generally no more than 3 months. Long-term use will restrict blood circulation, and excessive fixation will cause muscle atrophy. Once the waist has no strength, it is easy to cause various injuries, and these injuries will intensively erupt after removing the belt. In real life, there are also elderly people who wear a waist belt for a long time, causing muscle atrophy and becoming "crisp and brittle waist." In addition to scientific wearing, the waist belt should be gradually removed after the discomfort symptoms such as low back pain are relieved to restore normal waist activities and strengthen waist exercises. The best way to protect the waist is to exercise the strength of the waist muscles. The waist exercise can be done through simple bench extensions, prone position with both ends up, and prone position to raise the opposite limb.
