When you need a corset and who will prescribe it for you

A corset is needed when the back hurts or threatens to hurt: it is a sign of insufficient support of the spine, can occur with heavy physical activity and weakened muscle corsets. Pain can occur when the muscles are not working properly, e.g. B. if there is too much tension on one side and too little on the other side.

If the problem persists for a long period of time, the stress shifts to the spine and more serious problems such as vertebral curvatures and intervertebral fractures arise. In all these cases, a corset is worn to reduce the load on the spine and compensate for the lack of function of the weakened muscles that support it. The right corset corrects the spine, reduces strain and back pain

A corset can be prescribed for pain in a specific area of the spine, to prevent injuries and for overloading. It can aid recovery from spinal injuries and surgery and slow the progression of osteoarthritis. Corsets are not used for recovery from pelvic surgery and childbirth - bandages are needed for this.

Ideally, a corset should be recommended by a trauma surgeon, orthopedist, spine surgeon or neurologist - only a specialist can understand the cause of the pain and prescribe effective therapy. A self-fitting corset may not be of any use.

Important: Orthopedic corsets registered with the Ministry of Health of Russia must have a registration certificate. Other comfortable and useful products for the back, such as: B. Wool heat belts cannot provide support and are not medical orthopedic products.

What types of orthopedic aids are there?

Location of the problem area – The first parameter by which corsets differ. In terms of function, a corset can be upper thoracic, thoracolumbar - these are sometimes called orthopedic systems - lumbar and sacrolumbar.

degree of sedation – The second feature: the more serious the problem and the greater the pain, the better the immobilization should be. Corsets can be soft - with medium fixation -, semi-rigid - with firm fixation - and rigid - with full fixation. There is also a so-called fixed brace. the adjustable fixation, in which the elastic ribs in the back of the corset are replaced by rigid metal ribs.

Upper thoracic and thoracolumbar braces are sometimes prescribed for posture correction. The thoracolumbar variant also includes models with hyper-extraction - they are used when load transfer from the vertebrae is necessary and in the event of spinal injuries. These are only prescribed by a doctor. You can only choose a soft or semi-rigid orthosis yourself. The orthoses differ in terms of the part they fix and the hardness of the fixation.

Indications and contraindications for the use of compression underwear

Do not buy compression socks on your own. First, see your doctor to find out what type of stocking you need.

Know your size. The degree of compression. And other features of the underwear that you will wear for many months.

Buying stockings without a doctor's recommendation can harm your blood vessels. Stockings, for example, exert too much pressure, further impairing blood circulation in the veins. The result is poorer blood vessel health.

Make an appointment with a phlebologist for advice on choosing compression underwear. Also familiarize yourself with the indications and contraindications for the use of such stockings.

indications

Doctors prescribe compression stockings in the following cases

  • Chronic venous insufficiency
  • Varicose
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Lymphedema
  • phlebitis
  • Lipodermatosclerosis

Sometimes stockings are also prescribed to healthy people who are at risk of developing vascular disease. The need for stockings arises:

The body of the expectant mother is exposed to great stress. The hormonal balance is disturbed. This causes the vein walls to become weaker and often dilate. The amount of blood in the body also increases. Through the baby. The increased blood volume puts a lot of strain on the vessel walls. Knitting helps the veins maintain their normal shape under this high pressure.

When working, many people have to stand on their feet for long periods of time, which increases pressure on the blood vessels in the lower limbs. Frequent strain can lead to varicose veins. Underwear supports the veins. This keeps them healthy even for people who are on their feet all day for work.

The less a person moves, the harder it is for the veins to pump blood. Since the muscles do not work and do not improve blood circulation, the blood often backs up and dilates the vessels. Knitting prevents the veins from swelling.

The success of surgical treatment largely depends on the patient recovering well. After the operation is completed, the doctor prescribes an orthosis. They must be worn strictly according to the regimen, since any violation of the regimen can lead to a relapse.

How to choose compression socks

The elastic, knitted stockings against varicose veins are available in different lengths. Some cover the entire leg. Others are only knee-length. This depends on the purpose of the compression stocking.

An important feature of the stocking is compression, which directly affects the effectiveness of the stocking. The stockings must fit snugly on the leg, but should not hurt.

Some models are specifically designed for surgical patients. They are not suitable for other people.

The degree of compression of stockings to treat varicose veins is determined by your doctor. Therefore, always make an appointment for an examination and only buy elastic underwear after a consultation.

Check out the stockings in the store. Select products:

With proper care, this underwear will last a long time and you will not need to change it until the end of your treatment.

Types of compression stockings

All compression stockings are divided into three types:

They are not considered medical products and can therefore be purchased without a doctor's prescription. They simply support the blood vessels. This underwear reduces fatigue and pain in the legs. Stockings apply gentle pressure to the veins and are great for preventing vascular disease, but do not treat varicose veins.

The most extensive group are elastic stockings. These products have different levels of compression in different areas - the socks exert the greatest pressure around the ankle, while the pressure is lower in the upper part of the leg. Therapeutic stockings are prescribed by a doctor. The stockings are intended for people with varicose veins and thrombophlebitis.

This underwear is prescribed for people who need to stay in bed after surgery. It helps reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis. High compression class. The pressure varies in different parts of the stockings, just like with medical devices.

Yes, you can buy elastic underwear yourself to prevent vascular diseases. But we still advise you to consult your doctor. He or she will help you choose stockings. The phlebologist will also tell you about other prevention methods so that you can learn how to better protect your veins.

How do I choose a lumbosacral orthosis?

An orthopedist should be consulted to select the right product. The straps are available in different degrees of stiffness. Please refer to the product manufacturer's size charts. If you're wondering how to determine the size of a lumbar corset, here are some basic pointers: Measure your waist and hips; divide the sum of these two measurements by two, the result is the size of the corset; some manufacturers measure by waist circumference, others by waist circumference (measure 8 cm below the waist).

For a comfortable and effective corset, choose a model made of stretchy and durable fabric with pores for air circulation. Products made from natural materials are pleasant and comfortable to wear. The most comfortable option is a knitted corset that doesn't show under clothing. The mesh structure allows the skin to breathe and the body does not sweat.

The stiffness and degree of fixation are determined by the doctor depending on the patient's condition. The rigid corset is recommended for severe pain in the groin and buttocks. The product is prescribed for exacerbations of osteochondrosis, spinal injuries and intervertebral fractures. The device is designed for complete immobilization and helps relieve pressure and stabilize the vertebrae. The semi-rigid models relieve pain from sciatica and spinal sprains. They are worn in the postoperative period.

How should the corset be worn?

Wear a lumbosacral corset after massages, physiotherapy sessions, rehabilitation measures after injuries and during exacerbation of osteochondrosis and radiculitis, and do it right.

  • Carry out the manipulation in a horizontal position.
  • Detach the side straps from the strap (2).
  • Place the device under your lower back. The spine must be positioned between the ribs (3).
  • Attach the main strap (1). Do not overtighten.
  • Tighten the side straps (2) and secure them at the waist.
  • Gently lift the brace and correct the position of the product if necessary.

How to wear a lumbar corset

The semi-rigid orthosis should not be removed for longer than 3 hours. The body should then rest for 1 hour and the orthosis can be put back on.

Can I buy a posture corrector myself?

The question 'Do I need posture correction and which one should I choose?' – you should contact your orthopedist or vertebrologist. Don't make such decisions on your own. Wearing a corrector without a good reason can have the opposite effect and harm you. Your back gets used to the support, your muscular 'corset' becomes weaker, your muscles no longer work as they should and begin to atrophy. Later you will no longer be able to do without the corrector; it will plague you with chronic back pain.

Important: For children, the use of a posture corrector is STRICTLY recommended by the doctor! Do not use a posture corrector for preventative purposes!

Medicines for pregnant women

The question of which safe sleeping pills to buy without a prescription and which ones you should take to sleep is of particular importance for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The medical profession has spoken out against expectant mothers taking medication from pharmacies to combat sleep problems. Doctors know that most of them have a depressant effect on the CNS of the woman and the fetus.

If a pregnant woman is wondering what to drink for insomnia, then she should not take any sleeping pill, no matter how good it is, even if it is available without a prescription, without first consulting her doctor.

Prefer other ways to restore sleep during this sensitive time. Opt for non-drug methods that do not require taking foreign substances.

Orthopedic pillow MemorySleep S

MemorySleep pillow

Standard pillow with two rolls of different heights to support the neck while sleeping. The filling is made of 100% polyurethane foam. Featuring a hypoallergenic knitted cover that can be removed and washed regularly.

The reviews often note that the density of the pillow is lower than many other analogue products. Those who are used to sleeping on firm pillows will find this a disadvantage, but for 'beginners' it can be a good option.

The height of the pillows is not very different (it is comfortable to sleep in one position); the new pillow has a distinct 'chemical smell'.

Ortho-Relax 1175 orthopedic pillow from the Reutov prosthesis factory

Pillow from Reutovskiy Zavod

This device is narrower than many similar pillows and slightly shorter: 50×34. The height of the neck rolls varies greatly: While the low neck roll (for lying on your back) is only 7 cm high, the higher one (for lying on your side) is 12 cm high. The pillow has a shallow recess for the shoulder, which makes sleeping on your side easier.

The pillow is suitable for people with spine and joint diseases (osteochondrosis, scoliosis) and for rehabilitation after injuries. The filling is made of elastic material with a memory effect and the cover is made of cotton.

It is suitable for therapeutic purposes and rehabilitation after injuries; it has a notch for the shoulder (it is comfortable to sleep on your side).

Feedback from our customers

I had heard about night vision lenses in advertising and thought it was a hoax, after all I can sleep with lenses and have 100 % vision. I decided to experiment and made an appointment with the doctor to have these lenses fitted. My vision at that time was -4.50, I was examined by a doctor and bought the lenses. After sleeping I could see much better and soon had perfect vision. The effect made me happy.

I have two twin girls. They both go to school now and started complaining that they couldn't see what was on the board. On the advice of friends, I went to Optimist Optics and they recommended orthokeratology lenses. It was a little scary at first because we were afraid that the lens might damage our eye while we sleep. But it turned out that they are very easy and safe to use. The girls have learned to use them themselves and now feel much safer at school. And the most important thing is that we no longer have to buy glasses. I am very happy with them and thank the Optimist Optics staff for their help.

I have a daughter, Daria, 12 years old, who has been playing sports for a long time. After she was diagnosed with moderate myopia, it was necessary to wear glasses and contact lenses, but these were not suitable for us due to our sports activities, and the choice fell on night lenses. The doctor at Optimist Optics salon picked up the lenses and taught us how to insert them (inserting and removing them was difficult for a few days).

Two weeks later she went to the doctor for a check-up and her daughter was able to turn 10 without the lenses.

The child has been wearing the lenses for 2 years now. Our ophthalmologist recommended lenses to stop our increasing nearsightedness (within 2 years our vision dropped from -1.0 to -3.0). We agreed and are now successfully using lenses. My son is 10 years old and he inserts and removes the lenses himself. My child can now see well all day, and the most important thing is that our vision has not deteriorated, but has remained at -3.0.

FAQs about orthokeratology lenses

Yes, one of the biggest advantages of OK lenses is that you can still see clearly even if you wake up in the middle of the night. With refractive therapy you can see clearly 24 hours a day, whether you wear lenses or not!

Your lenses should be cleaned with a special solution after each wear. Your contact lens fitter will give you detailed instructions on optimal care and disinfection.

Paragon CRT standard OK lenses correct astigmatism up to -1.75, MoonLens OK lenses correct up to -4.0. If the corneal parameters are unusual, individual lenses can also be adjusted. Our specialist can tell you exactly this after evaluating your corneal data.

Every contact lens comes with a small risk. However, the risk with OK lenses is no greater than with other contact lenses. No serious cases of complications were reported in clinical trials with orthokeratology lenses (daily disposable lenses). The material from which the lenses are made is of great importance. The lenses we offer are made from the safest materials with the highest oxygen permeability.

They are. The lenses we carry in our network are of high quality and have passed all the required tests. Paragon's lenses were the first in the world to receive FDA approval (2002) as overnight use orthokeratology lenses. It was Paragon that developed a special (patented) material with the highest oxygen permeability. This allowed the company to produce lenses that are 30 % thinner and 30 % more oxygen permeable. Clinical studies have been carried out according to all necessary international criteria confirming the effectiveness and safety of Paragon lenses. Paragon lenses are FDA certified, CE marked and approved by the Ministries of Health in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Azerbaijan without age restrictions for patients with myopia up to -6.5 D and astigmatism up to -1.75 D. In 2016, new MoonLens OK lenses were introduced to the Russian market. They are also approved by the ministries of health in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Azerbaijan. The development of technology and the many years of experience of the SkyOptix laboratory team have allowed the creation of the product and the effective results of the OK lenses. In 2019, the laboratory successfully passed the certification audit and received the international ISO certificate in the field of 'development, production and sales of contact lenses'. The certification confirms full compliance with international standards and the consistently high quality of the products manufactured. The lenses are exported all over the world.
