EXTRA elastic belt - first aid for pinched nerve roots

Nerve root impingement is a common problem not only in the elderly, but also in young people. The most common causes are osteochondrosis of the spine with bony overgrowths - osteophytes, protrusions (bulging discs) and intervertebral hernias.

How does nerve root impingement manifest itself?

It is not difficult to recognize nerve root impingement. It is usually manifested by a sudden sharp pain that can go to the leg, a feeling of “crawling goosebumps”, impaired sensation and mobility.

Most often pinched roots in the lumbosacral spine. This is due to its mobility and static loads that fall on the lumbar region (e.g., weight).

How can I help myself when I have a pinch?

Osteochondrosis, protrusions and herniated discs cannot be cured because they are degenerative (“age-related”) changes in the spine. The best method of treatment doctors consider strengthening the muscles of the back - creating a “muscle corset”.

However, any physical exercise in the exacerbation of the disease will only increase pain and cause even greater muscle tension. That is why neurologists and traumatologists believe that you should first eliminate pain, and only then engage in muscle corset.

Often doctors prescribe various anti-inflammatory drugs (shots, suppositories, tablets) and even hormonal drugs. But such therapy can not only relieve pain, but also harm health - for example, cause bleeding and gastric ulcers, and some patients it is simply contraindicated. The older a person is, the more dangerous it is for him to take painkillers (analgesics).

However, there is a modern, convenient and safe way to fight pain in case of pinched nerve roots - it is a medical elastic belt EXTRA.

Features of the EXTRA elastic waistband

The EXTRA medical belt is made of several materials:

  • Wool (45%);
  • cotton (44%);
  • polyamide (6%);
  • latex (5%).

Thanks to its composition, it does not prevent the skin from “breathing” and does not irritate it, drains moisture, stretches well and helps to maintain correct posture.

But most importantly, the EXTRA elastic belt warms the muscles and helps to relax them, thus reducing pain. The heat also increases blood circulation and helps restore sensation and mobility faster.

What to look for when choosing an EXTRA belt?

When choosing the right model, the waist and hip circumferences, as well as the height of the waistband are taken into account. The product is available in seven sizes, from XS to XXXL, and is suitable for men and women of different sizes, as well as teenagers.

How long do I need to wear the EXTRA medical elastic waistband?

In case of exacerbation of the disease, doctors recommend wearing the belt around the clock to quickly reduce pain and good “warming” of the muscles. If the elastic belt is used to prevent impingement of nerve roots, it should be worn during physical activity (for example, when working hard, especially in an unheated room or outdoors in cold weather).

Please note: properly worn belt does not squeeze the abdomen and does not rub the skin, does not cause sweating and other unpleasant sensations. It also does not restrict movement in the lower back area, but helps to maintain correct posture.
