Harms and benefits of a fever belt You should not wear the belt for a long time, otherwise the muscle strength of your waist will decrease, and then you will rely more on the support of the belt. The correct way is to gradually remove the belt and restore the normal activities of the waist after the discomfort symptoms such as low back pain are relieved. Generally, 4-6 weeks is appropriate. Besides, you don't need to wear a belt when you sleep or stay in bed.
After wearing the belt for a period of time, if the low back pain does not improve, it will continue or worsen, indicating that the low back pain is caused by lumbar diseases such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spondylolisthesis and lumbar spinal stenosis. In this case, the wearing effect of the belt will be greatly reduced.
The main function of the waistband is to protect the waist, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving low back pain by limiting waist activities, that is, by limiting lumbar flexion and other actions, the pressure in the intervertebral disc can be relieved, so that the injured intervertebral disc can get a full rest, and at the same time, the burden of muscles and ligaments around the lumbar spine can be reduced, so as to prevent the injury from getting worse and create good conditions for the patient's physical recovery.

Is it useful to wear a belt for lumbar disc herniation? It is very necessary for patients with lumbar disc herniation to wear a belt. It is better to have steel plate support inside this belt, which can effectively increase the stability of lumbar spine and reduce the friction and extrusion between lumbar disc herniation and nerve roots. Then, when wearing the waist protector, you can't wear it all the time, because this will lead to the atrophy of the waist muscles and the decline of muscle strength, which will lead to the decline of the stability of the whole spine. After a long time, it may lead to the degeneration of the lumbar spine, the disc herniation will be further aggravated, and the nerve roots will be more severely compressed, so they can't be worn all the time. After the symptoms disappear, you can choose to take off your waist protection and exercise the function of your back muscles. It is the so-called swallow-flying method. Lying on the bed, stomach lying on the bed, lifting limbs and head, and performing functional exercise step by step can effectively increase the strength of spinal muscles and increase the stability of the spine.
