Olga, 35 years old

I was diagnosed with osteochondrosis 1 year ago. The neurologist prescribed a comprehensive treatment: medications, exercise therapy, physiotherapy, massage. Additionally, he selected a special back corset for me. It is made of synthetic neoprene with rigid inserts. Now every time I go to work I wear it. It helps me cope with severe lower back pain.

Oleg, 50 years old

30 years ago I blew my back while working in a construction team. After 40 years, my lower back began to hurt constantly. The pain began to be localized in the gluteal muscle and radiate to the left leg. My wife gave me a warming belt made of dog hair. Now I wear it every evening. At first it was unusual, but then I got used to it. Lower back pain began to bother me less.

Victor, 39 years old

After surgery, the doctor prescribed me to wear a rigid corset. It was necessary to wear it for 1 month. At first I wore it at home, and then put it on only on long trips, so that on bad roads there would be no discomfort in the back and lower back. Very helpful.

Evgeniy, 45 years old

At my job there are constant drafts and high stress on my back. Over time, my lower back began to bother me a lot. I decided to protect myself with a belt. I went to the store and decided on an elastic waistband. After 2 months regular wearing the pain has completely gone.

Maria, 26 years old

When I gave birth to my 2nd child, I began to experience severe pain in my lower back. I tried gymnastics, different ointments and gels. It helped for a short time. A friend recommended a magnetic belt. I bought it and didn’t regret it. Now I can safely do household chores with virtually no pain.

Orthopedic corsets and bandages are intended for the prevention and treatment of spinal diseases (osteochondrosis, hernia, scoliosis). Warming woolen products will help relieve pain and protect the body from hypothermia. Wearing elastic belts will help prevent muscle strain and injury during physical activity.

Only the attending physician will be able to accurately select the correct product (size, hardness) in order to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect. It is important to understand that wearing a belt is only an addition to the main treatment regimen.

Conclusions and Conclusions

What are our Russian doctors keeping silent about? Why in 90% of cases does drug treatment give only a temporary effect?

Unfortunately, most of the remedies “treating” back and joint diseases that are advertised on TV and sold in pharmacies are completely divorce.

At first it may seem that creams and ointments help, BUT in fact they only TEMPORARILY relieve the symptoms of the disease.

In simple words, you buy a regular painkiller, and the disease continues to develop into more severe stage. Ordinary pain can be a symptom of more serious diseases:

  • degeneration of muscle tissue in the buttocks, thighs and lower legs;
  • pinched sciatic nerve;
  • development of arthritis, arthrosis and related diseases;
  • acute and sharp pain - lumbago, which leads to chronic radiculitis;
  • cauda equina syndrome, which leads to paralysis of the legs;
  • impotence and infertility.

How to be?- you ask. We have studied a huge amount of materials and, most importantly, tested in practice most of the remedies for the treatment of diseases of the spine and joints. So, it turned out that the only new remedy which does not remove symptoms, but truly cures - this is a medicine that is not sold in pharmacies and is not advertised on TV! So that you don’t think that they are selling you another “miracle remedy,” we won’t tell you what it is. effective drug. If you are interested, you can read all the information about it yourself.

Of course, there are special medicines for different pains. Now, if your joints hurt, your back, neck, head, then it’s always better to take nimesulide preparations. Moreover, they do not have a small range of prices, but they all act approximately the same. At least I didn't feel any difference. If you need something inexpensive and effective, then this is Nimesan - it helps a lot (although there are side effects - stomach pain). Who has what “favorite medicines”?

Nadezhda Zorina, 6 days ago

The best remedy for treating joints is steamed bay leaf with gelatin. And of course, exercise in the morning.

When my joints hurt, it’s torture, I know it from my own experience... horror! Do some exercises here, sometimes it seems like it hurts to breathe.

Svetlana Alekseevna, 5 days ago

Patches are not chemicals, which is why they are extremely effective in preventive actions. I prefer medicinal plasters rather than chemistry, which cures one thing and cripples another.

Andrey, 5 days ago

In addition to self-medication, back pain also requires diagnosis. There are many reasons for its occurrence. There is no need to be afraid of going to the doctor, because today you can easily hear several alternative opinions (if you are suddenly a distrustful person or if the doctor’s conclusion frightens/warns you). X-ray, MRI, CT, densitometry (if osteoporosis is suspected) - today these are simple and accessible studies, which in the vast majority of cases will answer patients' questions.
But no matter what is written in the conclusion of any study, the final diagnosis will be made by a specialist (neurologist, orthopedic traumatologist, neurosurgeon, etc.). And for this, in addition to research, you need to look at the patient himself. It is a clinical examination coupled with instrumental examinations that will allow us to fully understand the patient’s situation and problem. And only after this the doctor can confidently give his recommendations regarding treatment.

Maria Ivanova, 5 days ago

I work as a consultant in a women's store, everyone knows what the requirements are, not a minute of rest, not a moment to sit down and 10 hours on my feet, I was thinking about leaving work, I felt so much pain, the picture showed that everything was fine, and the therapist said it would pass . And then the employee advised me to use ZB PAIN RELIEF, and I naturally understood how the team manages to be a cucumber at the end of the day. In general, I tried these patches and completely forgot about the pain. Of course it's up to you to decide.

Vitaly Nevedov, 5 days ago

Lack of collagen in tissues - cartilage crunches. There is also a problem with calcium, apparently it is not absorbed in your body, for this you need to take the accompanying enzymes that ZB PAIN RELIEF contains. This product includes all the necessary components and serves to strengthen bone lubrication - this from the official website information

Victoria N., 4 days ago

Problems with joints and bones are no joke, start taking care of them as early as possible with the help of products that will not cause any harm internal organs, including the gastric tract. No matter what injections we are talking about, injections are only an analgesic effect - you need to treat, and not just relieve symptoms!

I heard about these plasters in a queue near a bread kiosk, two old women were discussing their ailments, and one boasted that her joints did not bother her, her grandson New Year gave me a special patch. So she wore it for 3 days, and the crunching and pain disappeared. I heard the name out of the blue, then I read about this product on the official website, placed an order and it was delivered straight to my home.

Dmitry Prozveynikov, 3 days ago

I’m thinking of purchasing “ZB PAIN RELIEF”, has anyone tried it, how quickly does the pain go away?

Andrey Pogorelov, 3 days ago

I think it will depend on the neglect, I am an athlete, I also love football, sometimes in the evening after training I heard a crunching sound and experienced a sharp pain when walking. But the trainer noticed the stiffness in my movements and brought me these orthopedic patches and told me to use them every day. I didn’t complete the entire course because the discomfort disappeared and the need disappeared, but I decided to leave my review, maybe it will be useful to someone.

Advice: take up swimming, if this is not possible, try just hanging on the horizontal bar, it helps a lot, start with one minute and gradually increase to five minutes.

Evgenia, 3 days ago

I have Small child, and most likely your back hurts from this, sometimes on your arms, sometimes when bent over, and before the child it probably hurt from sedentary work, and before sedentary work, probably from standing, in short, the back is a weak point. And the doctors either don’t believe it, or they say, well, since it’s a child, then of course it will pass, and they send you home, or maybe something fell off, I’m exaggerating of course, but you never know, they only like to treat grandmas, they have serious reasons for going to the doctor, not like young people.

Daria Kulish, 3 days ago

The composition of the patch is natural - this is good, I have never heard that ZB PAIN RELIEF did not help someone, I know it myself, since I saved my husband with it. Life completely turned upside down when we realized that he would have to pay off work, he simply could not walk, and we have three children. It’s not for nothing that I don’t trust health workers; judging by the answers, they didn’t recommend anything good to anyone in the hospital.

Max Reshetnikov, 3 days ago

I can say it’s a good patch; I was prescribed it for my son. since he has had insufficiency of cartilage tissue since childhood. The child seems to have come to life and is now racing.

For arthrosis, I was prescribed to inject Chondrogard for a whole month. This pleasure cost me 9,700 rubles! And what do you think? Right! For 2 months everything seemed fine, and then it started again... The doctor said, “Well, repeat the course, it helps.” Yes, it doesn’t help yourself! You shoot for a month and the effect is only 2 months, so you have to shoot up for the rest of your life? Screw it, I decided! By some miracle I found the orthopedic plasters you talked about, I don’t even remember how. I was treated with a course, which for a moment was almost 3-4 times cheaper than the Chondrogard course! And now the third year has passed, and there are not even memories left of arthrosis. So, guys, draw your own conclusions, get treated correctly and you will be happy.

I hope these patches will help me. I've been taking it for three days now. At rest and when walking there is no pain anymore, which is good. But if you do a deep squat, there is some pain. I hope they pass soon.

Alexandra, 1 day ago

I started having back pain when I was 25, now I’m 49. My weight has always been stable, staying at 47-48. After giving birth, the pain worsened, then a hernia was discovered. The lifestyle is not completely sedentary, but not entirely active either. Although I spend a lot of time drafting documents on the computer. She was examined in Germany 10 years ago. The operation is recommended only in the most advanced cases and when there is a risk of remaining a non-ambulatory invalid. It was there that I was advised to try swimming. I swim regularly for an hour and a half a day, sometimes I increase the time and combine different swimming styles. My back really felt better. Plus I take courses of B vitamins and magnesium.

Ruslan Kashapov, 1 day ago

I also have experience using “ZB PAIN RELIEF” patches and it is also positive. I was pleasantly surprised. Moreover, I noticed noticeable relief after use; the aching pain that accompanied me 90% of the time I was awake began to subside and by the evening went away completely without pills. In total, I used the patches for 2 weeks, during which time the pain disappeared completely. I feel great.

Vladimir Mulin, Today

The patches are just great! Helped me get rid of osteochondrosis and an incipient hernia in 7 weeks. I tried it on the advice of my doctor and couldn’t be happier. Otherwise, it was like hang yourself, your whole life was ruined because of your bad back. It’s not that he couldn’t work, he could barely walk.

Victor Klimov, Today

I’ll also put in my two cents =) In the past, I was a professional athlete, so injuries were common. Usually these were some minor dislocations or sprains, but a few years ago I injured my knee very badly. For some time I even had to walk with a crutch. No treatment practically helped, it only temporarily relieved the pain, which then returned again. And during physical activity, the pain became simply unbearable, the knee swelled and it was painful even to walk. As a result, I had to quit the sport. To relieve pain, I took painkillers several times a day. I bought Payne Relief orthopedic patches on the advice of my wife, who found information about it on some medical forum. After a couple of days of regular use, the pain became noticeably less. I could already walk calmly. And a week later I completely forgot about the pain pills. My wife and I started renovating the house, and so far my knee has not bothered me even once, even during physical exertion. In the future, I plan to slowly return to sports, but, of course, I will be more careful with the loads. I still sometimes apply a plaster to my knee, but purely for preventive purposes. We ordered a couple more so that we always have them on hand when needed. I ordered here (link).

Maria A.., Today

Chinese orthopedic patches are really something! When I ordered it, I didn’t even think it would be like this. The pain is relieved very quickly and you feel human again. When I ordered, I knew that they would help, because a close friend recommended it, but I didn’t think that it would be so much. Now I am taking the full course, I hope that I will be able to completely get rid of pain in the future. And there is confidence that this is exactly what will happen!

Marina Eliseeva, Today

A friend of mine uses these patches. Let's work together. I have no problems with this, but one day my neck blew out, so after lunch I couldn’t even turn my head. A colleague literally forcibly stuck a piece of plaster on me (which she cut off with scissors), and after an hour I completely forgot that my neck hurt. I like it.

Ekaterina Vakulina, Today

The patch really helps. The result simply exceeded my expectations. All the arthritis in my fingers disappeared in 14 days! I ordered a few more packs for my friends.

The composition is written in Russian, very convenient. Smells like herbs. I RECOMMEND!!! (link )


One of the most problematic areas of the human body is the lower back. It is in this area that the spine experiences maximum stress, supporting the upper body. And although the skeleton in this zone is the strongest and most solid, unfortunately, it often fails to cope, which leads to acute pain and the development of chronic diseases. To correct the situation or prevent it, orthopedic lumbosacral orthopedic corsets are used. But how to choose the right product? Who will be comfortable in it and who will not? And are there any rules for wearing it? We suggest that you thoroughly study the issue.

Why do you need an orthopedic lumbar corset?

You should buy a corset for the lumbosacral spine at the rehabilitation stage after complex operations and injuries, as well as to reduce pain of varying degrees: from mild to very strong. Experts recommend using them for radiculitis, intervertebral hernias, spondylosis, osteochondrosis, myositis and other diseases of the lumbosacral spine.

The corset can be used for both preventive and therapeutic purposes only after consultation with the attending physician and on the basis of the expert opinion of an orthopedist.

In addition, the semi-rigid lumbosacral the corset can be worn by people whose work involves heavy physical exertion and long periods of driving, as well as by athletes.

The products perform the following functions:

  • fix the spinal column;
  • unloads muscles, removing unnecessary stress;
  • during rehabilitation, they shorten its time, compensating for the capabilities of the injured area and preventing damaged vertebrae from moving.

Types of corsets for the lower back

There are several classification principles, with one of the most common being the degree of rigidity.

This type is one of the most popular. With its help, the lumbar region is fixed, while it restricts movements to a lesser extent. Recommended for reducing pain in various diseases and when it is necessary to speed up the process of restoring body functions after injury or surgery. They are used both during rehabilitation, when the load on deformed areas of the spine is reduced, and for prevention. In some cases, wearing semi-rigid corsets is indicated for women in the postpartum period with severe divergence of the pelvic bones.

"Pros":

  • provides reliable support for the lumbosacral region, relieves muscle tension, reduces pain;
  • The stiffness of many models can be adjusted individually by adjusting the ribs;
  • a large size range allows you to choose a product for both adults and children;
  • compactness and lightness do not reveal the presence of a corset under clothing.

"Minuses":

  • delicate care of the product requires washing them only by hand and not twisting them when wrung out, as well as following other rules, including drying;
  • may cause allergies in people with sensitive skin.

One of the popular models on the Russian market is the semi-rigid lumbosacral corset rwa 2200 orto professional. It has flexible stiffeners and is made of innovative bamboo fiber that does not cause allergies.

Rigid corsets are usually prescribed to people who have undergone major spinal surgery. The products help shorten the rehabilitation period and increase the duration of remissions.

Other advantages:

  • replace the supporting functions of the affected part of the spine;
  • eliminate displacement of the vertebrae;
  • wide the lineup allows you to select a product for the individual physiological characteristics of the patient.

The “cons”, or rather warnings, include:

  • an incorrectly chosen corset can lead to serious health complications and expand the list of existing diseases;
  • Violation of the rules for wearing the product, as well as ignoring the doctor’s recommendations, will lead to the same sad consequences.

Rigid corsets can only be prescribed on the recommendation of a rehabilitation doctor.

Besides, models are distinguished by the degree of fixation, which can be complete, strong, medium and light. The last option is represented by warming belts, which by definition are not corsets, so we’ll talk about them next time.

Lumbosacral corsets with strong fixation are made of dense fabrics or knitwear and have metal inserts on the back that follow the contours of the sacrum and lower back. For maximum fixation, they are complemented by elastic straps. Wearing is prescribed for severe pain.

Medium fixation corsets are softer and have flexible ribs. The degree of elasticity of the material may vary in specific models. It can be recommended for aching, mild pain in the lower back, during physical activity, and in the later stages of rehabilitation.

One of the most recognizable brands on the Russian market is Orlett from the German manufacturer Rehard Technologies, which offers more than 70 models and modifications of orthoses for various parts of the skeleton.

Indications and contraindications for use


We have already named the main cases when an orthopedic corset for the lower back may be recommended. The main ones are these are diseases of the spine and heavy physical activity. Let's take a closer look at the contraindications.

Semi-rigid and rigid corsets cannot be used:

  • during pregnancy,
  • for purulent skin diseases and local dermatitis,
  • after applying warming agents, as well as in case of abdominal wall hernia;
  • You should also remember about individual intolerance.

How to choose a product


When selecting a corset for the lumbar spine, you should pay attention to the following parameters:

  • rigidity: in case of severe pain that radiates to the buttocks and groin area, and the fingertips lose sensitivity, the doctor’s choice is made in favor of a lumbosacral rigid corset with strong fixation, and for rehabilitation after injuries, a full fixation corset may be prescribed;
  • size: the problem arises due to differences in the size range of different manufacturers: in some cases the waist size is indicated, in others - the circumference of the lower back, which is 8 cm lower. That is why any corset must be selected individually. When going shopping, do not forget to take body measurements without clothes;
  • type: this option can only be recommended by a specialist who will directly indicate in the patient’s card that he needs, for example, a corrective, that is, a supporting corset for the lower back;
  • material: a knitted corset is considered the most comfortable, and if the material is thin, then the product will not stand out under clothes, and if it is mesh, then the skin will not sweat.

Some models have an additional massage effect, which relieves muscle tension and improves blood circulation, thereby relieving pain.

How to wear a corset correctly


The effectiveness of therapeutic effects and prevention will depend on how correctly the corset is used. And although the main positions are again indicated by the doctor, there are several general tips:

  • It is not recommended to wear a corset for more than 6 hours (in some cases, strong fixation corsets can be worn for up to 12 hours, but this requires consultation with a doctor);
  • You can't go to bed in a corset;
  • due to the fact that the muscles in a corset often hardly work independently, you need to put on a corset when necessary - during stress or pain, then the muscular system does not atrophy;
  • It is better to wear cotton underwear (T-shirts, T-shirts, shirts) under the corset to avoid chafing the body;
  • You should not fasten the corset tightly so as not to interfere with normal blood circulation in organs and tissues.

It is best to try on a new corset for the first time under the supervision of a doctor, who will help you adjust the parameters.

When choosing a lumbosacral orthopedic corset, let’s not forget the main rule: do not buy products that were recommended by neighbors, colleagues, girlfriends, etc. Only a competent specialist who is familiar with your medical history can make the right decision about using one model or another.

The lumbosacral spine bears the heaviest load. The dexterity and speed of a person’s movements, his ability to engage in sports, physical labor, and simply lead an active lifestyle depend on his mobility and the proper functioning of his muscles and ligaments. And this one is most often exposed to various diseases and injuries.

No one is immune from lower back pain, and they can appear due to hypothermia, awkward movement or overexertion. For many patients, doctors recommend using a corset for the lumbosacral spine. It is prescribed not only for back pain, but also for the treatment of osteochondrosis, radiculitis, hernia and after injuries. It is recommended to wear corsets for athletes, people doing work that involves spinal strain, women during pregnancy, and many others. But they are different, therefore, in order for the bandage to bring benefits and not harm, you should purchase it only after consulting a doctor.

What is a corset for the lumbosacral spine?

This is an orthopedic device made of breathable material and having stiffening ribs and fixing belts. It is worn on the lumbar region to immobilize the spinal column, reduce the load on it and relieve pain.

Corsets for the lumbosacral spine vary in degree of rigidity, material and size. Most of them are a wide belt made of very dense fabric. In the back area it is reinforced with metal or plastic plates or ribs. There can be 4 or 6 of them depending on the purpose of the corset. Sometimes stiffening ribs cover the lower back in a circle. Such a belt can fix only the lumbar region or partially cover the thoracic and sacral regions. The degree of fixation of the spine can be adjusted using elastic fasteners.

What are these corsets for?

These devices are prescribed to children, people suffering from spinal diseases, and even healthy people. What functions does a corset perform for the lumbosacral spine?

Releases all painful pinched nerves.

Reduces stress on the lower back during sports and heavy physical labor.

Back pain can occur for various reasons. Therefore, corsets for the lumbosacral spine are prescribed not only to sick people, but also to healthy people. It is recommended to wear them:

When playing sports;

During heavy physical activity;

During prolonged sedentary work, for example while driving a car;

Women during pregnancy.

But most often, special corsets for the lumbosacral spine are prescribed for various diseases and injuries:

Herniated intervertebral discs;

Osteochondrosis;

Radiculitis;

Spondyloarthrosis;

Osteoporosis;

Progressive scoliosis;

Condition after operations;

For rehabilitation after fractures and other injuries.

What types of corsets are there?

Depending on the purposes for which the bandage is intended, they can be divided into the following groups:

Fixing - slightly reduces the load on muscles and intervertebral discs;

Corrective - designed to correct various curvatures of the spine, most often scoliosis;

Supportive - securely fixes the spinal column in one position and promotes the speedy recovery of the vertebrae and discs;

Warming - is a soft wide belt that has a thermal and light massage effect, normalizing blood circulation and relieving pain.

Depending on the degree of fixation, all corsets are divided into the following groups:

1. Rigid - effectively support the spine, relieving stress on muscles and vertebrae and reducing pain. They provide immobility in the lumbosacral region, therefore they are often used to prevent and treat injuries. Wearing them for a long time is not recommended, except in cases of recovery after a fracture or surgery.

2. A semi-rigid belt maintains the mobility of the spine, but makes the load on the muscles and vertebrae a little less. It is used for back pain, to prevent hernia injuries during heavy physical work. You can wear it for quite a long time, but only after consulting a doctor. Such a corset for the lumbosacral spine in case of a hernia is very effective and is prescribed quite often.

Special bandage for pregnant women

There is another type of such devices - a corset for the lumbosacral spine for women. It is used during pregnancy. What are the purposes of this belt?

The bandage helps the spine cope with the increased load.

Eliminates back pain, common during pregnancy.

Helps prevent discs from appearing.

Supports a large belly and prevents stretch marks.

The corset also helps after pregnancy: it helps restore the abdominal muscles.

How to use a corset for a hernia?

This disease causes severe pain and stiffness in movement. Quite often, doctors recommend using a corset for the treatment and prevention of hernia. It not only helps relieve pain, but also reduces the load on the damaged disc. Most often, semi-rigid corsets are used for this. They can have various ribs and inserts, which also have an additional healing effect. The point of wearing such a corset is that it relieves the back muscles and relieves their spasms, fixes the correct position of the vertebrae and has a slight warming effect. All this helps to cope with the hernia. Wearing such a belt is also recommended for the prevention of pain, for example during physical activity or sports. Rigid corsets are used only as prescribed by a doctor in particularly severe cases of the disease or during recovery after surgery. You can wear them for no more than two hours at a time.

Most popular models

A regular semi-rigid corset or a warming bandage in the form of a belt is inexpensive. Depending on the material and manufacturer, such a product can be bought for one and a half to two thousand rubles. But additional hard inserts, plastic frames and convenient fasteners increase its price. A special medical corset prescribed for a hernia costs from 5 to 20 thousand rubles. And if it is made to order, the price can increase to 30 thousand. Its cost greatly depends on the brand. The most popular manufacturers of orthopedic products produce original models that have returned the joy of free movement to thousands of patients. Therefore, it is best to purchase a corset for the lumbosacral spine from Oppo, Medi or Orlet. Despite the low price - from 2 to 11 thousand rubles, the products of these companies are very high quality.

How to choose?

A corset for the lumbosacral spine for a hernia can only be used as prescribed by a doctor. This is a device for the prevention and treatment of spinal diseases, so its choice must be taken seriously.

1. Before purchasing a corset, you need to consult a doctor so that he can help you choose the right type and size. Such things are selected individually so that they can only bring benefits. If the necessary device is not on sale, you can make it to order or look for it in online stores. There are different corsets for the lumbosacral spine. The photo will allow you to determine whether it will suit you.

2. Before buying a corset, it is advisable to try it on so that it fits perfectly. The belt should not put too much pressure on the spine so as not to cause swelling. But it’s not worth buying a free-size one either - it won’t bring any benefit.

3. You need to pay attention to the fabric from which the bandage is made: it should be hypoallergenic, breathable, and natural and soft on the inside. The most comfortable and invisible under clothing knitted corset for the lumbosacral spine.

How to wear?

You should not buy a corset yourself and wear it if you have any back pain. This is a serious orthopedic device and can be harmful if used incorrectly. There are special rules for wearing a corset:

It is designed to be worn in an upright position. It is not recommended to lie down in a corset, much less sleep in it;

The fasteners must be fastened correctly. If the corset is tightened too tightly, blood circulation may be impaired and swelling may develop, and weak fixation will not bring any positive effect;

It is not advisable to wear a corset for a very long time. The duration of wearing is determined by the doctor, but usually it is no more than 6 hours a day;

If a doctor prescribes to wear a corset to relieve pain from a hernia, then you should wear it only when pain occurs.

Pain in the lower back is the most common reason for visiting an orthopedist. Along with drug treatment and physical therapy, special orthopedic structures - corsets (orthoses) - are widely used to relieve pain. The corset is a wide medical belt with a varying number of special inserts made of plastic or light metal to provide the desired level of fixation.

Why do you need a back corset?

Wearing the cut provides the following effects:

  • Reducing the load on the vertebrae due to the fact that the muscles supporting the spine are unloaded.
  • Fixation of the spinal column in a physiologically correct position.
  • Reduction or elimination of pain caused by pinched nerve roots due to displacement of the vertebrae.

Indications and contraindications

Most often, a corset is prescribed for pain syndrome in the sacrum and lumbar region, caused by various neurological and orthopedic disorders, such as osteochondrosis, protrusions and herniated intervertebral discs, radiculitis, lumbago, the recovery period after spinal injuries and surgical interventions. In addition, prophylactic wearing of an orthosis can be recommended for athletes and ordinary people during significant physical activity.

The use of a lumbosacral corset is contraindicated in the following cases:

  • Infectious and inflammatory processes on the skin of the lower back.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Abdominal wall hernia.
  • An allergic reaction to the materials from which the product is made.
  • Immediately after applying warming agents to the skin.

Types of products

Depending on the treatment goals, a rigid or semi-rigid lumbosacral corset can be used. In addition, orthoses are divided according to the area of ​​the spine being fixed: lumbar, thoracolumbar, lumbosacral. A very convenient classification according to the degree of fixation:

  • Full fixation orthoses almost completely eliminate movement in the damaged segment. They are prescribed immediately after injuries and operations.
  • Orthoses strong degree fixations are used for severe pain.
  • Medium fixation orthoses are used for moderate pain.

Hard

A rigid back corset is used only for therapeutic purposes. This corset is designed to replace the supporting function of the affected segment of the spinal column and prevent displacement of the vertebrae. The wearing of such products is prescribed by the attending orthopedist or rehabilitation doctor. In some cases (for example, in severe cases), the orthosis can be made to order.

It is extremely important to choose the right corset and strictly adhere to the specialist’s recommendations regarding the duration of wearing the orthosis. An incorrectly selected rigid corset causes a deterioration in the patient’s condition. How long to wear a rigid fixation orthosis is determined by the doctor, based on the characteristics of the clinical picture. In severe cases, wearing time can reach 12 hours a day.

Indications for use

Rigid corsets are used for serious pathologies of the spine:

  • IN recovery period after spinal injuries.
  • With pronounced curvatures of posture.
  • At the stage and spinal cord.
  • Severe pain in the lumbar spine radiating to the groin and buttock.
  • At .

Structure

The structure of the product can be as follows: dense fabric or knitwear, metal inserts (stiffening ribs) that follow the contours of the body or elastic, elastic straps for fixation, spiral springs, a massage element (not in all models). Thanks to the latter, during the movement the sore spot is massaged, which means blood supply improves and muscle tension is relieved.

There are models with removable stiffeners and variable degrees of fixation

Semi-rigid

A semi-rigid corset for the lumbosacral region is most often prescribed, since its indications for use are much broader than those of a rigid orthosis: dull pain in the lower back of moderate intensity, for prophylactic purposes with increasing physical activity (work in the garden, repairs, etc.) , in the later stages of rehabilitation after operations and injuries.

The orthosis reliably fixes the lumbar region, which helps relieve the load on the spine. At the same time, semi-rigid corsets do not completely restrict movement, which reduces the likelihood of muscle atrophy. The length of time you wear such an orthosis depends on the purpose. If the product is purchased for preventive purposes, then it is used only during increased physical activity. If there is pain in the lower back and sacrum, the corset is usually worn for no more than 6-8 hours.

How to choose the right one

The rigidity and time of wearing the corset is determined by the doctor. To determine the size of the product, you need to measure your waist and hips (measurements are taken without clothes). Otherwise, the patient is guided by his preferences and financial capabilities, since the market now offers a wide range of orthopedic structures. When deciding which material is best to choose a corset from, you should consider the following parameters.

Corsets with suspenders will be convenient for motorists. When getting into a car, you can simply unfasten the corset, it will rest on your shoulders.

How to wear it correctly

To obtain a therapeutic effect, it is very important to properly fix the corset. The rules are as follows:

  • The corset should be put on while lying on your back.
  • The product is placed behind the lower back, observing the correct direction of the upper and lower edges.
  • The spinous processes of the vertebrae should be located between the stiffeners.
  • First, fasten the main wide clasp, and then the side ones.
  • Don't overtighten the corset.
  • The product must fit evenly to the body in all areas.
  • After fixing the fasteners, you need to slowly rise and, if necessary, adjust the corset.


It is recommended to carry out the first fitting of the orthosis in the presence of a specialist.

How to care for a corset

The packaging must contain the manufacturer's instructions for caring for the product. We usually recommend hand washing at a water temperature of 30 degrees. If the orthosis has removable metal plates, then before washing they are removed and the Velcro fasteners are fastened. The product cannot be wrung out. Dry the corset at room temperature, away from heating devices and direct sunlight.
