Back pain belt for low back:

A back pain belt is a back brace that is designed to stabilize low back spinal vertebrae. Lower back includes the lumbar vertebrae L1 to L5 , the Sacrum bone or S1, and the tailbone or S2. By stabilizing the low back, a good back support belt helps to unload pressure on injured bone, muscle, spinal disc or ligament. Therefore, it contributes to alleviate low back pain, called also lumbar pain.

Which back support belt to choose for low back pain?

The choice of the right back support belt for you would depend on your low back pain type and location. If your back injury is related to a torn back muscle or ligament, than a soft to semi-rigid lumbar back brace with compression or other soft materials would be a good support to your low back. On the other hand, for a herniated disc, Sciatica or severe ligament tear; a rigid back pain belt with firm support would be an efficient solution to reduce lumbar pain. For sacroiliac joints pain, use a SI belt.
