Lumbar Corset

A lumbar corset is a device that is used to support your lower back. A corset is made of soft material. It is usually tightened with laces that may tie in the back, front, or side. It has metal pieces that keep the corset from bending easily. The straps will keep the corset up.
A lumbar corset works by putting pressure on your abdomen. This takes weight off your spine and joints to help you heal more easily. You may need a lumbar corset if you have low back pain, arthritis, or a degenerative disc disease. A corset can also be used for a short time to treat pain from a sprain or strain.
