The age of progress has brought us not only the advanced developments of civilization, but also the accompanying negative trends.
We no longer need to go hunting or cultivate the land with our own hands - everything is in the nearest store. As a result, our life has become less complex and more measured. However, our spine suffers without constant walks through the fresh air and systematic physical exertion. A sedentary lifestyle leaves its mark on our support.
Spine problems have been familiar to many of us since childhood. A heavy briefcase and long sitting lessons do not pass unnoticed. As a result, by the age of 25-30, almost everyone is familiar with systematic back pain. Many already by this time have osteochondrosis or scoliosis. Sciatica was a disease of our grandmothers, now this diagnosis is made and young.
We will not talk about the most serious spinal problems requiring surgical intervention. Much can be corrected at the initial stage by means of physical education, massage, and, of course, an orthopedic corset will help.
The essence of any corset is to maintain a sore spot. Corsets are used in almost any disease of the spine. The only thing worth mentioning is that there are serial and individual copies. An orthopedic corset will not be a problem to buy if it is made using common patterns. It will have a reasonable price, but lower efficiency compared to exclusive units.
In case of serious damage to the spine, it will be necessary to produce an orthopedic corset in individual sizes, taking into account all the features of the body. Very often, such non-serial copies are made not only taking into account age and anatomical features, they are often equipped with additional supports and clamps. It is also worth mentioning the high cost, but at the same time a more serious effect on the spine.
Any orthopedic corset for the spine is made of elastic, breathable fabrics, reinforcing it with stiffeners made of plastic or metal. Also, in the manufacture of corsets, leather and rubber are used, and in the manufacture of rigid corsets, plastic and metal are used. For fastening on a body belts or flypapers are used.
One of the main indicators that affect the choice of corset is its functionality. Orthopedic corset can correct the
deformation of the spine, stabilize or maintain it, relieve unnecessary stress.
Orthopedic corset is also classified according to the degree of stiffness (semi-rigid / rigid), by the spine (thoracolumbar / lumbosacral). There are pneumocorsets that can limit mobility and stretch, if necessary, the spine. Its properties include such functions as improving blood circulation, reducing pain, muscle relaxation. Most often, corsets are used to prevent scoliosis and osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernias. Be healthy!
