In this way, aggravation of complaints can be prevented, a corset can promote healing or make an improvement in physical functioning possible. Back braces also fall under the category of corsets. A support band for the back or abdomen is a more general term that is used less. For example, after a tummy tuck for 1 to 4 weeks, a supportive abdominal / back belt is prescribed to temporarily support the abdominal wall. Another option is: an inguinal hernia band.

Do my back muscles weaken by wearing a corset?
It is not true that wearing a corset leads to muscle weakening with chronic consequences. Wearing a corset provides protection but does not directly weaken the muscles. It is true that with the chronic use of a back brace, the body gets used to the support. However, a corset often provides so much relief from the back pain, so that the activity level can increase and the muscles are more active than before. This means that in some cases a corset can actually strengthen the muscles. If the activity level does not increase and you use the corset completely inactive, it can indeed happen that the muscles around the back and abdomen weaken. That is why it is important to use a corset in a dosed manner and to be advised by a medical specialist.

Want to buy a back corset?
Putting on the back corset correctly is more important than many people think. For the back corset to function properly, it must be put on correctly. It is best to put on a back corset by laying it out on your bed or the couch. You lie with your back on the corset and bend your legs. In this way your pelvis will tilt slightly and you will be able to fasten the back corset more easily because your belly is less forward. When you stand up you will feel that the back corset is working.
Medical corset as relief for back pain complaints
In the case of (low) back complaints or complaints of the lumbar spine, support in the form of a medical corset or lumbar corset brace can provide relief. Just like an Orthopedic corset , a medical corset provides circular pressure and thus stabilizes and supports the lower back. The difference between an orthopedic corset and a medical corset is mainly in the dimensions and the materials used.
Medical Corset: A medical corset is often ready-to-wear and made of elastic materials with flexible ribs. The advantage of this is that a medical corset gives a lot of freedom of movement, the disadvantage is that a medical corset can provide insufficient support in some cases.
Orthopedic Corset: The orthopedic corset is a custom-made corset and is made from ‘Egyptian Cotton’. This is a type of textile that is double woven so that there is no stretch on the fabric in any direction. This property makes it very suitable for making a sturdy orthopedic corset, rigid aluminum ribs or flexible ribs can be placed in the back.
Both types of corsets should be seen as an aid, so it is better not to wear the corset permanently as a preventive measure to ensure that the back muscles do not slacken. This means that you selectively choose the moments when you do want to wear the corset. This can be, for example, at times when you already experience back pain or during actions that you know can cause back pain.
