Spinal supports and belts — how to choose

Back orthoses are used in the treatment of spinal and back-muscle conditions, to support the spine after operations and to relieve pain. Indications include osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia, spondyloarthrosis, sciatica and traumatic injuries. Below we explain how to choose a suitable model.

What to look for

Back orthoses are classified by two main features. By the section of the spine the orthosis supports:

• Thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis (TLSO) — covers most of the spine.
• Lumbo-sacral orthosis (LSO) — supports the lower back.
• Sacral orthosis (SO) — supports the sacral area.

By rigidity:

• Soft orthoses made of elastic material, usually without inserts — for light support.
• Semi-rigid orthoses (corsets) reinforced with plastic or metal inserts and adjusted with straps.
• Rigid orthoses that immobilise the spine.

Belts for physical work

Belts used for physical work are usually semi-rigid orthoses. They have braces and a narrower front so as not to restrict movement. Such belts help support the lower back when lifting weights or under prolonged load.

Quality and support

All back orthoses are CE-marked medical devices. The right size is especially important — our specialists will help determine it. Cervical braces and posture correctors are listed in separate categories.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a back corset and a belt?

In practice the two terms are often used interchangeably. A “corset” usually means a reinforced, firmer orthosis with inserts, while a “belt” can mean either a soft supportive belt or a semi-rigid belt for physical work.

Does a back belt help with back pain?

A back belt can reduce pain by supporting the lower back and limiting painful movements. For chronic or severe pain, consult a doctor about the cause.

Should I wear a back belt during physical work?

Belts for physical work are intended precisely for lifting weights or prolonged load. They are not meant for constant wear — use them under load and remove them during rest.

How do I choose the right size?

The size of a back orthosis is usually determined by the waist or hip circumference. The size chart for each model is given in the product description.
