The Neoprene High Lumbar Sacro Belt (Double Support) is an orthopedic back brace made from high-grade neoprene material, designed to provide compression, stability, and pain relief for the lower back and sacral regions. The “high” aspect often refers to a greater vertical width (e.g., 9-12 inches) that provides more comprehensive coverage and support for taller individuals or those requiring lower thoracic support as well.Â
Key Features and Materials
- Material: The primary material is high-grade neoprene, known for its durability, flexibility, and heat-retention properties. Retaining body heat helps improve blood circulation, which in turn relaxes sore muscles and reduces joint stiffness. The material is often blended with other fabrics (like polyester) and features air holes or porous webbing to ensure breathability and comfort during extended use.
- Double Support Mechanism: A dual-pull or double strapping system with a broad hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure provides extra compression and a customizable, secure fit. This allows the user to adjust the level of pressure to their specific needs.
- Integrated Splints: The belt typically incorporates flexible or rigid back splints (often made of ABS plastic or aluminum) that conform to the body’s natural shape, reinforce the back muscles, and provide effective immobilization and stability to the spine.
- Anatomical Design: The contoured, ergonomic design ensures the belt fits the natural curve of the lower back (reducing lordosis and pelvic ante-rotation) without restricting necessary movement, making it comfortable for daily wear or physical activities.Â
Intended Use and Benefits
- Pain Relief: Provides significant, often immediate, relief from acute and chronic lower back pain, lumbago, sciatica, muscle spasms, and soreness.
- Posture Correction: Helps maintain proper spinal alignment, preventing slouching and promoting a healthier posture, especially for individuals who sit for prolonged periods.
- Injury Management: Beneficial for various conditions including slip disc (disc herniation), lumbar spondylosis, muscle weakness, and post-operative support.
- Versatility: Can be used during daily activities, long work hours, exercise, weightlifting, or as a preventative measure for those at risk of back strain.
- Enhanced Mobility: By stabilizing the injured area, it promotes confident and controlled movement, aiding in faster recovery.Â
