Medical elastic belt - first aid for sports and household low back injuries
The lower back is the part of the spine that suffers the most from strain. It bears the bulk of the body weight (especially if you are obese!), and constant bending and twisting can cause muscle strain or pinched nerve roots.

Lumbar injuries
The lumbar spine is easily injured not only in sports, but also during normal physical activity - especially for untrained people. Also, the lumbar spine often begins to ache when sitting in an uncomfortable position for a long time, or lifting weights, moving furniture. Why does this happen?
With sudden movements or overload, the musculature of the lumbar region is strongly contracted and stretched, which leads to its micro tears. This is called muscle stretching: such injuries are usually accompanied by severe pain and swelling of tissues, limitation of mobility.
The second reason for the appearance of pain in the lower back is the impingement of nerve roots, or radiculitis. With age, most people develop osteochondrosis, destroy intervertebral discs and form herniated discs of the spine. Any unfortunate movement in them can cause a pinched nerve, severe pain and reflexive muscle tension.
Note: back injuries are very common in acrobats, gymnasts and weightlifters, especially if they forget to warm up before training.

How can I protect my lower back from injury?
The best way to protect the lower back in sports is proper warming up, but it is unlikely to help with household injuries. Doctors also advise avoiding prolonged sitting/lying in an uncomfortable position and lifting weights. If you cannot avoid it, you can use a medical elastic belt to prevent back injuries.
How does a medical elastic waistband “work”?
The composition of the elastic waistband includes:
The main mechanism of the elastic belt is to create a thermal “layer” in the back area. This relaxes the muscles and ligaments, reduces swelling and pain, restores mobility of the spine. In addition, the medical belt gently massages the muscles, improving blood circulation in this area.
The better the muscles and ligaments are warmed up, the more relaxed they are - which means that the spine suffers less when moving and the pain disappears faster.
Important! The belt not only provides warmth and comfort to the waist, but also helps to maintain proper posture, which is very important in spinal disorders.
In case of exacerbation of osteochondrosis or trauma, doctors recommend wearing this product around the clock, so that the muscles are constantly in a relaxed state. The belt is also indispensable when working for a long time in a cold and damp room or in the cold, because it protects not only the lower back, but also the kidneys from hypothermia.
