Our lower back is a very fragile part of our body, and can get easily injured if we’re not careful. Many people know this, but still about 80% of the world’s population will experience some form of back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain affects not only elderly people, but young people too. Unfortunately many of us start to appreciate the importance of proper back care only after sustaining a back injury and suffering back pain.
Introducing LumbarMate, the Orthopedic Lumbar Support Belt by OrthoRelieve
The new LumbarMate Orthopedic Back Brace by OrthoRelieve is a godsend for many in need of a good back support belt. It comes with features which many other back support belts lack. For example, it boasts of removable steel lumbosacral support plates that give extra support to the wearer by protecting the lumbar area. The belt also has replaceable pads that provide heat therapy to reduce pain and inflammation. Now there are many belts on the market that provide heat therapy treatment, but none include steel lumbar support plates as well. So OrthoRelieve has created a Back Support Belt that draws the best of both worlds.
Steel Support Plate
The Steel Support Plate is a feature rarely found in other back support belts. It has a pocket at the back where the support plate can be slotted in or removed. This plate is specially contoured to follow the curvature of the human spine. This ergonomic design is important not only to maintain the wearer’s comfort, but also to preserve the natural form of the spine and reduce pain. When the LumbarMate back support belt is worn with the steel support plate inserted, the wearer instantly feels a correction in posture. This reduces any nerve impingement from herniated or bulging discs, relieving pain.
This posture correction is further defined with the belt’s double straps which the wearer pulls to secure at the front, thereby pushing the plate closer to the lumbar vertebrae for a firmer support. LumbarMate also includes 2 side steel strips which can be slotted into 2 side pockets on either side of the belt. These narrow but rigid strips provide additional support to each side of the waist, or the Quadratus Lumborum. The metal support plate together with the 2 side strips help support the entire lumbar region and prevent twisting movements on the waist which may trigger injury. This is especially useful for those who have a sensitive back. If the wearer feels that the support plates are not needed anymore, he can simply remove them and wear the belt normally.
Highly Customizable
The LumbarMate package also includes an additional flexible ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic support plates and strips. These are shaped exactly like the metal ones, but are more flexible and pliable. They are suitable for people who find the metal plates too stiff for their liking. Having both steel and plastic support options allow LumbarMate to be configured to the patient's recovery and comfort level. For example, if the patient's back injury reaches an advanced stage of recovery, he may no longer need the rigid steel supports and just use the flexible plastic ones. Once recovery progresses further, he may even completely remove plastic supports and just wear the brace alone.

Heat Therapy
LumbarMate includes 3 therapy pads which can be attached using Velcro to the back of the belt. One of these pads is a self-heating pad for heated back support. It contains tiny pieces of tourmaline stones arranged in an organized pattern. This pad gradually heats up on contact with your skin, providing warmth to your lower back. This form of heat therapy is great for boosting blood circulation, allowing nutrients and oxygen to travel to the inter vertebral discs, joints and muscles. This helps repair damaged muscles, relieves inflammation, and reduces back stiffness.
Additionally, there is also a breathable mesh pad with an inbuilt pocket. This is useful if you want to insert an ice-pack (not included) to further relieve pain through cold compress therapy. Lastly, a Velvet pad provides additional comfort and cushioning for your lower back should you need it.
These pads are all interchangeable, and you can swap them out if you wish. And with the combination of metal and plastic supports, you have a back brace that gives you a wide range of possible permutations, again demonstrating LumbarMate's highly customizable feature.
High Durability
LumbarMate is made of high strength durable mesh material that is stretchy and machine washable. Its cooling fabric leaves you feeling cool and sweat free even as you wear it for hours.

There are many who will benefit from wearing the LumbarMate back brace. This is especially for people involved in physical work, namely, construction workers, warehouse workers, cargo handlers, weightlifters would definitely find the metal support plate useful as it protects their back and keep it straight as they lift heavy objects. The belt is also helpful for office workers, or those who suffer back pain from sitting for long hours or who are often in sedentary positions.

LumbarMate is the perfect back brace for scoliosis, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, disc herniation, bulging or ruptured discs, osteoporosis, muscle strain and sprain, loose ligament and many other conditions.
