The different types of belts for back pain

There are mainly two types of belts for back pain:

• lumbar belts: they support the lumbar region and help reduce tension on the lower back muscles.
• support belts: they keep the spine in an aligned position and promote good posture.

Materials used to make back pain belts

Back belts can be made from different materials, including:

• neoprene: this is an elastic and resistant material which gives the belts great durability and optimal comfort.
• elastic fabric: it offers good flexibility and allows precise adjustment of the belt around the waist.
• plastic or metal reinforcements: they are integrated into the belts to provide better support and better distribution of pressure on the back.

The process of making belts for back pain

The manufacture of back pain belts generally takes place in several stages:

1. Design : This step involves determining the dimensions, materials and functionality of the belt. It is essential to design a model that offers both good support and optimal comfort for the user.
2. Cutting the materials: after choosing the suitable materials, they must be cut according to the dimensions defined during the design. This operation can be carried out manually or using specific machines.
3. The assembly: the different pieces of the puzzle are then assembled to form the belt. This step may include sewing, glue, or other attachment methods depending on the materials used.
4. Finishes : finally, the belt is adjusted and personalized to meet the specific needs of each user. This may include adding elastic bands, velcro closures or tightening buckles.
