Support belt against radiculitis Velkro 105, size 4 - LAUMA

What the Belt Does and How It Works

The LAUMA model 105 lumbar support belt with Velcro fastening is a textile orthopaedic accessory designed for the lower back. It is worn around the waist, covering the lumbar and sacral area, and helps to stabilise this part of the spine during physical activity, long hours of standing, driving or sedentary work. Size 4 fits a specific waist measurement range, so it is worth checking the LAUMA size chart before choosing.

The belt works through gentle mechanical compression. The elastic fabric holds the muscles and ligaments of the lower back in a fixed position, which reduces excessive micro-movements in the lumbar vertebrae and lowers the load on the intervertebral discs. Many users describe the sensation as a warm, firm "hug" around the waist — this is partly due to the woven structure of the material, which retains body heat in the lumbar zone. Mild warmth improves local blood flow and helps tense muscles relax.

Adjustable Fit for Every Situation

The Velcro closure allows you to adjust the tightness precisely to your body and to the moment: a looser fit when sitting at a desk, a firmer fit when lifting, gardening or carrying loads. Unlike rigid corsets with metal stays, the model 105 is a soft fabric belt — it limits movement gently rather than immobilising the spine, so the back muscles keep working and do not weaken from disuse.

Typical situations where people choose this belt:

• physically demanding work, lifting and carrying;
• long drives or office sitting that leaves the lower back stiff;
• periods of discomfort associated with sciatica-type sensations radiating into the leg;
• sports training and recovery after intense effort;
• cold or draughty environments where the lumbar area needs extra warmth.

Practical Notes

An orthopaedic belt is an aid, not a substitute for medical advice — if you have persistent back pain, numbness, a known disc problem or are recovering from an injury or surgery, please consult a doctor or physiotherapist about whether this type of fixation is right for you and how many hours per day to wear it. As a general rule, soft lumbar belts are not meant to be worn around the clock: continuous use weakens the back muscles. Keep the fabric clean according to the manufacturer's washing instructions to preserve the elasticity of the Velcro and the fibres.
