How to choose a lumbly-sacral orthopedic corset. Types of corsets for the lumboslery spine: how to choose and wear a bandage to support weakened bone structures What are the corsets for the spine Show

One of the effective methods for the treatment of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system is orthosis - a complete or partial substitution of lost functions with special devices. These include orthopedic corsets for the spine.

The long-term wearing of the orthopedic corset may cause the muscle weakening of its application, which will lead to the opposite result, that is, not treatment, but the emergence of new lesions (protrusions and intervertebral hernia).

The use of therapeutic adaptation for uncontrolled time becomes the cause of circulatory disorders, tissue swelling. It also causes congestive phenomena and leads to muscle atrophy. When appointing a corset as a method of comprehensive therapy, the doctor necessarily takes into account the presence or absence of direct contraindications to its wearing, to which three main groups of pathologies include:

• availability skin diseasewhich can be a serious obstacle due to the complications of the chronic process;
• degenerative changes in bone and muscle tissues, under which any mechanical impact is prohibited;
• defeat and improper functioning of respiratory organs;
• severe diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• open wounds and mineral infections.

The achievement of tasks supplied before the therapeutic method is possible only under the condition of the proper selection of the orthopedic device carried out with the purpose of the target and the direction of the location of the lesion.

In an irrational and strategically, the wrong corset may not make the purpose and complicate the situation incorrectly distributed load. The appointment of the medical corset is carried out by a doctor, depending on the nature of the pathology, the severity of the defeat and the place of its localization. The back corset is assigned:

• after injury or surgery;
• with sharp pains in the lumbar sacral division;
• when fractures of vertebral prohphs;
• during the treatment of diseases of the spine;
• to ensure the immobility of segments, if it is dictated by the need.

In each individual case, the localization of pathology in a specific spine department, general objectives are also pursued, and certain medical measures, as well as the individual characteristics of the body and the specifics of the disease.

Corset recommended for wearing with pathologies cervical department, Stabilizes the cervical department, reduces the load on it and minimizes muscle spasms. The chest department needs to be corrected posture, support after injuries and operations. Solving how to choose orthopedic corsets for the spine, all this must be taken into account in the strictest way.

Types of corsetov

Therapeutic corsets have long been applied in medical practice, which led to the emergence of a significant variety of models and forms in which it is easy to get confused by an inexperienced buyer.

The question of which corsets for the spine are and how to choose the appropriate, should be solved only by the profile specialist, taking into account all the necessary components to avoid possible negative consequences.

In medicine, there are classifications of corsets in which the separation of therapeutic devices in various species is included.

They are varying degrees of fixation, which depends on the number of rigidity ribs, and is determined by degrees:

• 1 degree - up to 4 ribs;
• 2 degree - up to 6 ribs;
• 3 degree - ribs around the corset.

According to the functional purpose, they are divided into 4 types: fixing (supporting), unloading (for removing voltage at problem areas), corrective (for deformation correction), mixed-type corsets (corrective-fixative, unloading-corrective, fixing-unloading).

There are also soft, semi-rigid and hard, therapeutic and preventive, individually made and mass production.

The main division of corsets is made on the target destination and location location of pathology: for the cervical, breast-purpose and lumbar-sacrive departments.

For the cervical spine

A full-fledged orthopedic type of device is put on the chest and spin, with the girth on the neck. Tire Shazza, or the cervical collar, fixes the neck, prevents pain syndrome and muscle spasms. It helps to maintain heat, which helps to improve blood circulation.

Bandage, which does not fix the neck hard, can be used during sleep and in preventive purposes. Hard orthosis is usually worn in the later stages of the disease, it is designed to maximize fixation. To pick up the corset for the cervical department, it is necessary to take into account all possible components, because with additional traumatization and blood circulation impairment suffers from the brain.

For the breast-sized spine

Choosing a chest corset is easier because it, most often, is a vest, clutching most of the back. It is intended to correct the posture and unloading problem areas of the spine.

Preventive and therapeutic and unloading products were obtained the greatest distribution. Preventive put on to prevent possible disease, with professional loads. Medical and recovery use as composite part rehabilitation complex of measures for the treatment of various diseases. Often they are used when passing the postoperative period.

For the lumbosacral spine

The most difficult thing to select the corsets for this spine. They are usually prescribed in case of complex diseases and problem states that cause painful pain and serious inconvenience to the rehabilitation and post-trap.

Orthopedic corsets for the lower back are used exclusively for therapeutic purposes. The sacral division withstands the most intensive load and in serious illness needs to be adjusted, support and fixation. Properly selected corset for the loin takes into account the individual characteristics of the physique and even forms a figure in some diseases.

How to choose a corset?

How to choose a corset for the spine? A qualified and responsible solution to the issue is one of their main components of the successful treatment of deformations caused by injuries and diseases of the vertebrae and intervertebral disks.

Post-traumatic rehabilitation is impossible without ensuring the safety and replacement of partially lost functions. Some diseases involving a substantial weakening of muscles include an orthopedic corset to the list of medical events.

Do not deal with an independent choice of therapeutic agent. It is necessary to consult with the doctor, find out what should be guided by the criteria of the selection, how to choose the optimal model and what characteristics should be taken into account to achieve the maximum healing effect.

Only a doctor can choose a model and parameters taking into account individual features, patient's physique and goals for which this treatment method is recommended. Not always the most expensive model is the best. Very often, the cost of the corset depends on the manufacturer's brand, and less well-known manufacturers can produce analogues, much more democratic in price.

You should also focus on the qualitative characteristics of the material from which the therapeutic corset is made. Maximum convenience is one of the main conditions of success. Neither metal, nor plastic parts of the devices should cause inconvenience and discomfort.

Skin contacting items better to select from natural materials to avoid individual allergic reactions, scuffs and irritation. The basic condition for successful treatment is a properly selected size. Therefore, to purchase such things is better in specialized stores, where professional assistance can provide in the selection of size.

How to wear corset?

The wearing time of the corset should be increased gradually, but the maximum allowed period is not more than 6 hours. It is not recommended to wear an orthopedic device on a naked body so as not to grasp the skin. For the night it should be unable to shoot. The corrector should not be fastened too tight, nor too loose. During wearing, you should not forget that the corset is a temporary treatment or preventive measure.

Dear friends, hello!

We continue our orthopedic libez. We have already talked about products for and thoracic spine. Sales were? And complexity? If what, write, do not hesitate. Wonder!

Today we will "go down" to the most problematic area of \u200b\u200bthe spine - lumbar-sacral. Why is the problem itself? Yes because he has to keep all top Torso: Head, chest, Shoulder belt, hands ... And also because we do not go on all fours. In this case, the load would be distributed evenly on 4 legs.

And also because we incorrectly raise gravity and do not even think about the fact that our relatives and beloved lumbar vertebra have tremendous loads at this moment. To facilitate their fate of gravity, you need to lift with a slightly bent in your knees.

And although in this department of the spine the most powerful vertebrae, it is his alas, does not save.

That is why orthopedic lumbosacious corsets most. And therefore questions on this group of products you most: "How to figure it out? They all look equally! " "When to offer?"

Calm! Just without panic! Now I will explain everything.

Tell me, please, with what customers do you need to deal with the sale of a lumbling corset? Probably with such:

Etc.

And this is not a complete list of customer needs.

In general, someone is usual, and someone "with pearl buttons".

What are lumbosacious corsets?

They are tough and semi-rigid.

But I'm closer to the classification according to the degree of fixation. It is most clear, and many doctors use it. See:

Full fixation corsets Apply immediately after injuries and operations. They almost completely exclude movements in a damaged segment.

Corsets of a strong degree Fixations are used in severe pain.

Middle Corsets Fixations are used with moderate pain.

Well and easy degree of fixation - This is usually some warming belt. He is not a corset, so we will not talk about it.

Since you most often meet the corsets of the strong and moderate degree of fixation, I will stop on them in more detail.

How to choose an orthopedic lumbosacious corset?

Corset strong fixation

How to find out?

The main thing in such a corset is powerful, as a rule, metal inserts in the backrest area.

Most often, they are already curved by the factory way of bends of the loin and the sacrum. And can be moderately elastic. In this case, they will "sit down" on the figure when the patient will put on the corset and fixes it on the stomach. If there are additional elastic belts, they even better attract corset to the body, providing strong fixation.

The material of such corsets can be different: dense fabric or knitted canvas.

Who and when to offer?

When the doctor will write in the list of destinations: the corset of strong fixation.

When the patient experiences pain in the lower back so strong that can not even straighten up.

When this pain keeps pace, buttock, inguinal area.

When nothing feel the tips of the fingers, or there is a sharp weakness in the legs.

How does it work?

Fixes and unloads a damaged segment. That is, reduces movements in it, and therefore creates favorable conditions for recovery. Sometimes our body you just need not to interfere. Only peace and care.

Fixing and protecting the lower back, the corset takes at most of her work. Again there is unloading and reducing recovery time.

What's better?

Favorite question of our customers. Therefore, I can not bypass it.

Corset of fabric cheaper.

Corset from knitted canvas is more comfortable. The skin thanks to him "breathes", in such a corset is not hot. In addition, knitwear is better adjacent in the figure. So, the healing effect is higher. And it comes faster.

Such corsets look, as a rule, more aesthetic. They can be put on a naked body (tissue t-shirt). They are thinner, and therefore, invisible under the clothes.

Middle fixation corset

How to find out?

Unlike the previous in this corset, softer, that is, more flexible, ribs. Thanks to them, the movement in the lumbar-sacral division is possible in a larger volume than in the case of strong fixation corsets.

Material bowl of all elastic. The degree of elasticity of it in different models is different.

If there are extra belts, then they, first, strengthen the adherence. Secondly, helps to adjust the degree of fit when changing the position of the body.

Who and when?

When the patient marked stupid many pain in the lower back.

When the corset is needed to protect the loins when performing household work (repair, cottage, etc.).

When the doctor prescribed the corset of medium fixation.

For fake after injuries and operations at a late stage of rehabilitation.

How does it work?

The corset reduces the volume of movements of the problem area of \u200b\u200bthe spine. And if so, it means that its unloading occurs, and it is restored at times faster than without a corset.

Warming Corset.

Perhaps there are those in your assortment. If not, then be sure to order, since it is often in a pharmacy asking something warming for the loin. Offering a regular belt from wool any beast, we deprive the buyer's capabilities to purchase a more efficient product that reduces the pain already in the first minutes of wearing.

So, warming corset. It will be more correct to say "heat-saving". Because there is no battery in it.

How to find out?

First, on the package it can be written that this is a warming corset.

Secondly, it may be indicated that he was performed from neoprene - material,which does not let air and moisture. Due to this, he saves his own body heat.

Sometimes there are a special pillow in these corsets to "fill out" the lumbar bend for maximum adjacent. If the bending is not expressed enough, the pillow is removed.

Who and when?

Those who ask a "warming" belt. In this case, you offer the corset and explain that it not only "warms", but also quickly eliminates pain due to its design.

Those who complain about permanent pains on the background of osteochondrosis, spondyleze, that is, diseases associated with violation of the power of the spine.

Those who work in the cold and want to get rid of their back pain. For example, guards. Moreover, we are talking about work that is not related to active movements.

Will explain. If you give this corset to some builder who is constantly in motion, he will stand in it. This can cause skin irritation.

Neither the buyer nor we need it.

How does it work?

Due to the fact that the material does not let air and moisture, it retains the heat of the body, warming the problematic area of \u200b\u200bthe spine. It improves blood circulation, food, and the patient is faster correct.

In addition, heat removes muscle tension, which is often the cause of back pain. Voltage goes - pain decreases.

Important!

In medicine, there is a rule: inflammation is not warm!

If you do not know what kind of process is, focus on the deadlines from the beginning of the disease (the first 3-5-7 days from such a corset is better to refrain).

What's better?

Everyone has their own understanding "Better". Here are some nuances:

More comfortable corsets from knitted canvases. All of their advantages - see above. In some such models there may be a minimum of hard elements, but there is a massage pillow.

Due to it, in the process of movements, the sore place is massaged, and therefore, muscle tension and pain is removed, blood circulation is improved, the recovery period is reduced.

If there are suspenders in the corset, it is convenient for motorists. The man sat in his car, unbuttoned the corset, he holds him on his shoulders, he did not fall.

If the material in the corset is thin, it means that it is not noticeable under clothing.

If the material is mesh, it means that the skin will not sweat under it.

Selection of lumbosacral corset size

As a rule, it is necessary to measure the waist circles and thighs to select the size. They fold, and the resulting figure is divided in half.

But there may be nuances: only waist is measured in some models.

How much to wear corset?

Corset strong fixation - how much does the doctor prescribe. In some cases, duration can reach 12 hours a day.

The corset of the average fixation - depends on what purpose the person buys him.

If for protection during loads, then the product is put on only for the period of loads.

If there is pain, it is worn throughout the day 6-8 hours (if the doctor has not prescribed a different wearing mode).

How to care for orthopedic corset?

If the rigs are removable, before washing them must be removed. Next fastener fastener.

When selling which goods of the pharmacy assortment can be offered a corset:

• NSAVS inside and externally.
• Vitamins of group V.

Of course, you first specify, and therefore the client buys this drug.

And also do not forget to offer the corset, if you ask something from the ravenrice pain.

You ask, I answer:

Well now, it seems, everything. Again, it turned out a huge lesson. Well, what can you do, I want to warm up you all thoroughly. Did it happen to me?

What questions do you have? Misunderstandings? Be sure to write in the comments.

Purchase a complete basic course on orthopedics for employees of pharmacies can be.

It is common that the corset for the loin is necessary only after injury, operation or treatment of spinal diseases. However, this is not quite true.

He can become reliable support With intense physical Loads and salvation with pain during long-term seating, standing or seasonal reactions to weather changes.

Let's see how to choose a lumbar corset

Today at orthopedic salons Presented a large number of corset models for the lower back. However, you should not hurry and make a choice yourself. An incorrectly chosen model can not only do not bring the expected facilitation of the state, but also aggravate the course of the disease and harm the health. Therefore, before you go for any complex orthopedic product, it is recommended to visit the doctor. Depending on the diagnosis, it will give recommendations what a lumbar corset is better to purchase you, including what the degree of rigidity. So, we got to the first parameter to select a lumbar corset.

The degree of stiffness

The principle works here - the more serious the pathology and the stronger the vertebral fixation is needed, the harder the corset will be appointed. Full immobilization of the spine is necessary after operations and fractures, with intervertebral hernias, Lyumbago and other diseases of the spine.

Hard (severe degree of fixation) and semi-rigid (average degree of fixation) are equipped with metal or plastic rigidity ribs. They provide peace of affected area, remove the load from it, reduce the pressure inside the disks, reduce the likelihood of nerve damage.

Alone you can choose a corset for preventing the injury of the loin when working in the country area, lifting weights or for classes in gym. In such cases, it is recommended to wear an elastic corset of medium or light fixation. It will help remove the load from the lumbar region, protect the vertebra from offset, normalizes the tone of the muscles of the back.

On a note! The lumbar corset of light or medium fixation (semi-rigid) will be the best companion during the course of therapeutic gymnastics, manual therapy and massage. Thanks to its compression and warming effect, such a product can be repeatedly increased and consolidated the therapeutic efficiency of these procedures. Such models greatly facilitate the state with radiculitis, osteochondrosis, rheumatism.

Accurate selection of size
