Why do I need to use corsets for the back, and in what cases are they needed? Let's look at these issues in more detail.
The function of the spinal motion segments L 3 - L 4 - L 5 - S 1 is to hold the arms, head and torso in an inclined and vertical position. Therefore, it is they who receive the greatest load in everyday activities. For example, when we stand in line or go about various things for a long time, wash ourselves, sit at the table or drive in the car, cook in the kitchen, play sports, when we work in the garden during the summer season, etc.
With excessively strong loads, they are given pain in the lumbar. This can lead to chronic disease conditions, aseptic inflammation and, as a result, restriction of movement.
Being in a vertical position with acute pain, you must immediately protect yourself from stress on the intervertebral joint. And also when moving from a horizontal to a vertical position, as happens when you get out of bed, for example. In addition, pain can increase the hypothermia factor, so you shouldkeep warm in the lumbar region.
As a result of numerous studies, scientists have developed corsets for the back to maintain thermal protection of the lumbar joints. Already after the first tests, when working with patients, their huge advantage was noticed.
Back corsets consist of a main part, a warming layer, a hygienic layer, insoles and a fixing part. It includes the most advanced materials with minimal permanent deformation. Also, the corset has an anatomical shape, which is very convenient when using it. When wearing such a corset, the load is distributed evenly over the body, reducing the impact on the spinal motion 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 ailments as osteochondrosis, osteoporosis, spondylosis, sciatica. In addition, they are also prescribed to patients who are in the rehabilitation period after their injuries.
Orthopedic corsets are mainly made from materials such as cotton, nylon and elastane. Some specimens have a "Velcro" to adjust the girth of the waist. When used, it creates a feeling of coziness and comfort.
Another variety is posture corsets, which serve to provide rigid fixation for curvature of the joints in the thoracic or lumbar spine. They also contributeelimination of chest pain and muscle spasms. Such corsets, as a rule, are made of elastic materials that fit snugly 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 prone to all kinds of diseases arising from stress. Especially often such problems are found in elderly people or those engaged in hard physical labor, as well as in athletes. Back corsets are great helpers in their lives.
