To help the waist: corsets for the back

What is it necessary to use corsets for the back, and in which cases are they needed? Let's consider these issues in more detail.

The function of the vertebral-motor segments L 3 - L 4 - L 5 - S 1 is to hold the arms, head and trunk in a tilted and vertical position. Therefore, they are the ones who get the most stress in their daily activities. For example, when we stand in line or we go for a long time on various matters, we wash ourselves, sit at a table or go in a car, cook in the kitchen, go in for sports, when in the summer season we work in the garden, etc.

With excessively heavy loads, they are given pain in the lumbar region. This can lead to chronic painful conditions, aseptic inflammation and, as a result, restriction of movements.

Being in an upright position with acute pain, you must immediately protect yourself from the loads on the intervertebral joint. And also when moving from a horizontal position to a vertical position, as it happens when you, for example, get up from bed. In addition, the pain can increase the supercooling factor, so you should keep the heat in the lumbar region.

As a result of numerous ongoing studies, scientists have developed corsets for the back to maintain the thermal protection of the joints of the lumbar region. Already after the first tests when working with patients, their huge advantage was noticed.

The corsets for the back consist of a main part, a warming layer, a hygienic layer, insteps and a fixing part. It includes the most modern materials with minimal residual deformation. Also, the corset has an anatomical shape, which is very convenient when used. When wearing such a corset, the body load is distributed evenly, reducing the impact on the vertebral-motor segments L 3 - L 4 - L 5 - S 1. This, in turn, relieves pain.

In addition, there are so-called orthopedic corsets for the back. They are recommended for people suffering from such illnesses as osteochondrosis, osteoporosis, spondylosis, radiculitis. In addition, they are also prescribed to patients who are in the rehabilitation period after the injuries received.

Orthopedic corsets are mainly made of materials such as cotton, nylon and elastane. Some specimens have a "Velcro" to regulate the girth of the waist. When used, a feeling of coziness and comfort is created.

Another type is corsets for posture, which serve to provide a rigid fixation when bending the joints in the thoracic or lumbar spine. They also contribute to the elimination of pain in the chest and muscle spasms. These corsets, as a rule, are made of elastic materials, which fit tightly to the body, taking the desired shape. They do not create discomfort; on the contrary, they are very practical and convenient for frequent use.

The lumbar region is susceptible to all sorts of diseases arising from the stresses. Especially often such problems occur in elderly people or engaged in heavy physical labor, as well as in athletes. Corsets for the back are excellent assistants in their lives.
