Should the belt be worn through clothes? Belt, also known as belt, waist protection, waist support and waist circumference, is a protective device for conservative treatment of patients with lumbar spondylosis and rehabilitation training of patients after lumbar surgery. The waistband is generally composed of breathable waist protection net, high elastic left and right elastic bands and reinforcing bands, and there are semi-hard aluminum alloy strips or medical fiber plastic strips inside. The main function of the waistband is to protect the waist, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving low back pain by limiting waist activities, that is, by limiting lumbar flexion and other actions, the pressure in the intervertebral disc can be relieved, so that the injured intervertebral disc can get a full rest, and at the same time, the burden of muscles and ligaments around the lumbar spine can be reduced, so as to prevent the injury from getting worse, create good conditions for the patient's physical recovery and protect the lumbar tissue.
When using the waistband, the concave surface of the waistband faces outwards, the waistband is placed behind the waist, and the velcro at both ends are overlapped and fastened, then the auxiliary belt is buckled in front of the abdomen, and the elastic belts at both sides are adjusted to a comfortable position. You can wear it while lying or standing, and you can take it off when you sleep.
There are many kinds of belts sold in the market. Pay attention to three points when shopping. First, the comfort of the belt. Waist protectors are worn around the waist, not around the hips. A good waist protector has a sense of restraint as soon as it is worn, and the waist has a feeling of "standing up", which is comfortable. The second is to have enough hardness. A therapeutic waist protector must have a certain hardness to support the waist and disperse the force on the waist. The third is to choose according to the purpose. Lumbago caused by lumbar muscle strain and lumbar degeneration does not need too much protection and treatment. You can choose some elastic and breathable waist protectors, which are relatively comfortable and close-fitting.
In life, the wearing time of the belt cannot be generalized. It is not correct to exaggerate the role of the belt for economic benefits and encourage long-term wearing, but it should be flexibly adjusted according to the condition. The specific wearing time should be determined under the guidance of a doctor, and the longest is generally no more than 3 months. If it is used for a long time, it will limit blood circulation, and excessive fixation will cause muscle atrophy. Once there is no strength in the waist, it is easy to cause all kinds of injuries, and it will break out after taking off the belt. In real life, some elderly people wear belts for a long time, which leads to muscle atrophy and becomes a "brittle waist". In addition to scientific dressing, we should gradually remove the belt after the discomfort symptoms such as low back pain are relieved, restore the normal activities of the waist, and strengthen waist exercise. The best way to protect the waist is to exercise the muscle strength of the waist. Waist exercise can be carried out by simple bench stretching, prone from both ends, prone to lift the opposite limb and so on.
People's concept of health is constantly being revised. Whether it is beauty lovers or patients, correct understanding and use of belts can make everyone healthy and beautiful.
What does the belt do? There are two kinds of waist protection, the first is sports waist protection, and the second is medical waist protection. Exercise waist protection is to prevent excessive external force caused by exercise from damaging the waist, leading to the injury of lumbar muscle ligament. Exercise waist protection passively stretches the muscles of the waist through binding force, accelerates local blood circulation, makes the waist less likely to be injured due to ischemic fatigue, and the overall activity of the waist is relatively limited, thus preventing the injury of the lumbar spine caused by exercise. Medical waist protection is designed for lumbar diseases or lumbar surgery. For structural injuries such as lumbar fracture and lumbar disc herniation, it can fix the waist and prevent the injury from getting worse. Medical waist protection is more binding than sports waist protection, and its internal structure is also different. The medical waist protector has a built-in steel plate with 2-3 layers of fixing belts. However, there are at most two elastic support belts for sports waist protection, and medical waist protection has more obvious restrictions on the range of waist movement and stronger protection ability for muscles, ligaments and bones.
For patients with lumbar fracture, the application of the belt is mainly to stabilize the structure of the lumbar spine and avoid the stress on the lumbar body, so it is best to say that the belt is relatively hard, that is, when it is applied to the waist position, it is best to use the belt of the motherboard or steel plate.
Only in this way can we limit the movement of the lumbar region, reduce the stress on the lumbar body and stabilize the structure of the lumbar spine. Therefore, patients with lumbar fractures can be bound with belts with steel plates or mainboards. After the fracture ends are stable, the lumbar movement is restricted and the lumbar spine is fixed, and weight-bearing activities are gradually carried out.
Good waist protection can not only fix the waist and keep warm, but also continuously release far red, external release and negative ions. And brings micro-current thermal shock effect to human body. It can effectively improve blood circulation, relieve muscle fatigue, activate cells to promote metabolism, dredge meridians, dispel wind and dampness, relieve pain and dispel cold, and enhance the body's disease resistance. This product is safe, easy to use and durable.
