Sedentary Posture Corrector: Benefits of Posture Correctors

Octo­ber 25, 2021, 10:14

Pain and dis­com­fort in the back, deformed pos­ture, walk­ing dis­or­ders — all this may indi­cate a cur­va­ture of the spine. There are three main types of pathol­o­gy of the spinal col­umn:

• sco­l­io­sis,
• kypho­sis,
• lor­do­sis

To date, the most effec­tive method of deal­ing with such cur­va­ture is a pos­ture cor­rec­tor — a spe­cial ortho­pe­dic ban­dage that pro­vides back sup­port and grad­u­al­ly returns the spine to its nat­ur­al anatom­i­cal posi­tion. Thus, with reg­u­lar use of the cor­rec­tor, after a few weeks you will notice the first results. What is the effec­tive­ness of pos­ture cor­rec­tors? What types of ortho­pe­dic cor­rec­tors exist and how to choose the right mod­el? Where to buy a pos­ture cor­rec­tor? We asked med­ical spe­cial­ists from Medtech­ni­ka Ortomed­ica to answer these and oth­er ques­tions.

Benefits of posture correctors

The main task of the ortho­pe­dic cor­rec­tor is to secure­ly fix the curved area of ​​the spine in the cor­rect posi­tion. In addi­tion to anatom­i­cal fix­a­tion, pos­ture cor­rec­tors strength­en the mus­cu­lar corset of the back, form a beau­ti­ful pos­ture and pro­mote accel­er­at­ed recov­ery. Mod­ern ban­dages for cor­rect­ing the posi­tion of the spine are made from durable hypoal­ler­genic mate­ri­als that do not cause irri­ta­tion. The pos­ture cor­rec­tor is easy to hide under out­er­wear, so the prod­uct will not cause incon­ve­nience. The ban­dage is as sim­ple and prac­ti­cal as pos­si­ble in dai­ly use. Also, the advan­tages of proof­read­ers include the fol­low­ing:

1. Effec­tive fight against cur­va­ture of the spine in the tho­racic, lum­bar and cen­tral zone.
2. Sup­port for the mus­cu­loskele­tal sys­tem.
3. Improve­ment of blood cir­cu­la­tion.
4. For­ma­tion of a beau­ti­ful and nat­ur­al pos­ture.
5. Pre­ven­tion of flat feet, as well as oth­er dis­eases of the mus­cu­loskele­tal sys­tem, which often occur against the back­ground of spinal defor­mi­ty.

In order for the ortho­pe­dic ban­dage to per­form its main func­tion qual­i­ta­tive­ly, it is nec­es­sary to choose the right cor­rec­tor. An ortho­pe­dist or trau­ma­tol­o­gist will help you with this. The doc­tor must con­duct an exam­i­na­tion, estab­lish the degree and shape of the cur­va­ture, after which it will be pos­si­ble to decide which mod­el of the pos­ture cor­rec­tor will be the best option for you.

Types of posture correctors

Ortho­pe­dic pos­ture cor­rec­tors dif­fer depend­ing on what type of cur­va­ture of the spine will be cor­rect­ed. There are two main types of ortho­pe­dic ban­dages, name­ly:

• tho­ra­colum­bar pos­ture cor­rec­tor;
• reclin­er.

Tho­ra­colum­bar pos­ture cor­rec­tors fix the entire area of ​​the tor­so, pro­vid­ing a com­pres­sion effect not only on the upper, but also on the low­er spine. In turn, recli­na­tors pro­vide fix­a­tion only of the upper part of the spinal col­umn. The ortho­pe­dic recli­na­tor brings the clav­i­cles togeth­er and fix­es the upper back. Thus, the align­ment of the ver­te­bral discs is car­ried out, the mus­cles are sup­port­ed and the pos­ture improves.

Reg­u­lar use of the cor­rec­tor as quick­ly as pos­si­ble will relieve you of cur­va­ture, back pain and any man­i­fes­ta­tions of dis­com­fort. As for the choice, the doc­tor should pre­scribe a pos­ture cor­rec­tor of the appro­pri­ate degree of rigid­i­ty after an indi­vid­ual con­sul­ta­tion and diag­no­sis.
