You may need a lumbar corset if you have low back pain, arthritis, or degenerative disc disease. This lumbar corset Belt works by putting pressure on your abdomen. This takes weight off your spine and joints to help you heal more easily. It can also be used for a short time to treat pain from a sprain or strain. This belt may also be used to stabilize your spine after a fracture or surgery. The corset will remind you not to move in certain directions, or to move more slowly. This will prevent you from moving quickly and causing more injury.
