Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lumbago band which is wrapped around a lumbar region to treat lumbago.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a band for treating low back pain, a band main body having a central portion on the backrest portion and both ends on the abdominal portion is formed by a belt-like body having elastic elasticity in the length direction. However, a structure in which an auxiliary belt is provided on the backrest mainly composed of the belt or a flat pad is attached is widely adopted. Then, when using, apply the belt-backed back rest to the lumbar region, then wrap it while pulling the left and right belly rests strongly, and press the back rest together with the auxiliary belt and flat plate-shaped pad to the back muscles. Supports the lumbar and sacral vertebrae,
It reduces the weight burden on the vertebrae and reduces back pain.

[0003]

However, back pain is caused by various causes, and one of the most significant causes is a shift (torsion) between the lumbar spine and the sacral spine. The above-mentioned conventional ligaments for back pain can hardly be corrected, and even worse.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the vertebra A is twisted in the left-right direction shown by the dotted line from the normal state shown by the solid line, low back pain occurs. When B is attached to the lumbar region, the back support portion of the band B is in close contact with the back muscle C and the pressing force by the tightening acts uniformly on the entire vertebra A. Therefore, in the direction of correcting the twist of the vertebra A. Not only does not work sufficiently to obtain a sufficient therapeutic effect, but also when the band B is worn
If the tension force is applied to the vertebra A in the twisting direction D (clockwise direction in the figure), the vertebra A tends to be twisted more and the back pain becomes severe.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a low back pain belt capable of relieving and treating low back pain by intensively exerting a pressing force in the direction of correcting the twist of the vertebra. It is what

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a back pain belt according to the present invention has a back portion at its central portion in the length direction and both end sides as described in claim 1. In a back pain band main body formed on the abdominal support part and provided with a locking tool such as a velvet type fastener which can be engaged with each other on the abdominal support part, the back support part along the longitudinal direction of the vertebrae The structure is such that a vertically long rod-shaped elastic pad member that is pressed in a straight line is mounted.

In the ligament for lumbago constructed as described above,
As described in claim 2, it is desirable that at least the abdominal contact portion of the band main body is formed as an elastic band part that is capable of expanding and contracting in the length direction, and the elastic pad attached to this band main body. As the member, as described in claim 3,
The elastic pad member has a structure in which a fiber material is housed in a vertically elongated cylindrical bag in a pressure-tight state, and the elastic pad member is movable in a longitudinal direction on a backrest part mainly composed of a belt as described in claim 4. It may be attached to.

[0008]

[Function] When the vertebra is twisted to the right (clockwise in the plane), the back rest of the belt is applied to the lumbar region and the elastic pad member is to the right of the vertebra (left when viewed from the front).
When it is affixed to the back muscle part in the longitudinal direction, and the abdomen pads on both sides are tensioned and engaged with each other on the abdominal side, the back pad is strongly pressed against the lumbar region by the elastic contracting force of the belt, but the pressing force is Through the elastic pad member arranged in the longitudinal direction along the right side of the vertebra, the elastic pad member acts intensively on the back muscle portion in contact with the elastic pad member. Therefore, the pressing force acts on the right lateral protrusion of the vertebra to twist it to the left with respect to the center of the vertebra, and the vertebra is corrected to a normal state.

Further, when the main body of the belt is attached to the lumbar region, the left abdomen pad is first fixed in a state where the elastic pad member is in contact with the back muscle along the right side of the vertebra as described above. After that, when the right abdomen pad is tensioned to be locked to the left abdomen pad, the elastic force of the right abdomen pad increases the correction force for the right protrusion of the vertebra by the elastic pad member. The back pain can be treated in a short period of time.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
Numeral 1 is a band mainly composed of an elastic band having a constant width (about 10 cm) woven by elastic yarns and having a stretch elastic force longer than the waist, and has a large elastic elasticity in the length direction. The center portion of the backrest portion 1a is applied to the back waist of the human body, and the abdomen rest portions 1b and 1c that are applied to the front abdominal portion of the human body are the both side portions connected to both side ends of the backrest portion 1a. . Then, a locking member 2a formed by projecting a number of hooks, which are male bodies of the velvet type fastener, is attached to the inner surface of the tip portion of the one abdominal portion 1b, and the velvet type fastener is attached to the outer surface of the other abdominal portion 1c. A loop surface 2b, which is a female body, is provided.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a vertically long rod-shaped elastic pad member attached to the inner surface of the central portion of the back support portion 1a of the belt main body 1 and having a length of 1
The fiber material 3b is housed and packed in a cylindrical bag 3a which is slightly longer than the width (11 to 15 cm) and has a diameter of about 3 to 5 cm, and has an appropriate elasticity and waist. It is formed on the pad member. Specifically, a cylindrical bag body 3a is internally configured by tightly winding a towel as the fiber material 3b.

The elastic pad member 3 is attached to an appropriate position on the inner surface of the back support portion 1a with its length direction oriented orthogonally to the length direction of the belt main body 1. 1a
The back surface of the elastic pad member 3 may be integrally fixed to the elastic pad member 3 by sewing or the like, but as shown in FIGS. The band main body 1 is inserted into the gap 5 formed between the opposing surfaces of the elastic pad member 3 and the band piece 4 by being fixed to the end by sewing or the like,
It is desirable that the elastic pad member 3 be mounted so as to be slidable in the length direction of the belt main body 1.

As the material for forming the elastic pad member 3, rubber, sponge, or other soft synthetic resin material having appropriate elasticity may be used in addition to the above-mentioned fiber material 3b. Alternatively, a hard core material may be provided inside. Furthermore, although the elastic pad member 3 is formed in a circular cross section, it may be formed in a semicircular shape and its flat surface may be attached to the inner surface of the band main body 1. Any shape may be used as long as it is a convex portion and the convex portion elastically abuts the waist portion in a straight line in the vertical direction.

The manner of use and the operation of the lumbago band in the embodiment thus constructed will be described. First, the band main body 1
The elastic pad member 3 provided in the longitudinal direction on the inner surface of the back support 1a is brought into contact with the painful portion along the length direction of the vertebrae of the spine. As shown in FIG. 3, one of the main causes of low back pain is that when the vertebrae are viewed in cross section, the lumbar spine 6 is twisted in either the left or right direction from the normal state shown by the solid line with respect to the sacrum. Occasionally occurs.

The vertebrae such as the lumbar vertebra 6 are longitudinally connected through the intervertebral disc 7, and the spinal nerve 8 passes through the vertebrae. For example, as shown in the figure, the lumbar vertebra 6 is shown by a dotted line 6a. When twisted to the right, the right side protrusion 6b of the lumbar spine 6 will be
The nerve 8 protrudes from the gap, which causes back pain.

Therefore, in this case, the right side protrusion of the lumbar spine 6
After the elastic pad member 3 is vertically abutted on the back muscles on the right side of the spine so that the back rest portion 1a is applied to the lumbar portion along the upper portion of 6b, the belly rest portions 1b and 1c of the belt main body 1 are lengthened. The elastic pad member 3 is pressed against the lumbar region by pulling in the vertical direction, and in this state, the left and right abdominal contact portions 1b and 1c are fixed by the engaging member composed of the locking member 2a and the loop surface 2b.

As described above, when the belt main body 1 is extended in the lengthwise direction and wound around the waist, the elastic pressure bonding force intensively acts on the elastic pad member 3 via the back support portion 1a, and this elastic pad The member 3 presses the back muscle portion 9 on the right side of the spine on which the elastic pad member 3 is in contact. The acting direction F of this pressing force is a direction toward the right side protrusion 6b of the lumbar spine 6, and therefore the lumbar vertebra 6 receives a pressing force in a counterclockwise direction about the intervertebral disc 7, that is, in a direction opposite to the twisting direction, It is to be corrected to a normal state.

The pressing force for correcting the lumbar vertebrae 6 in this manner is first fixed on the waist side where pain is not felt, that is, in the above case, the left side abdomen support part 1c is fixed to the waist part, and then the elastic pad member. 3 along the right side protrusion 6b of the lumbar vertebra 6, the right side abdomen pad 1b (the abdomen pad for the person who feels pain) is made to be more tense than the left side abdomen pad 1c, and both abdominal pads 1b, If 1c is fixed by locking the locking member 2a and the loop surface 2b of the velvet type Fesner, the pressing force on the right side, that is, on the side where the elastic pad member 3 is abutted, becomes even greater than the left side, The back pain can be treated in a short period of time.

Further, even when the lumbar vertebra 6 is curved, it can be corrected. That is, in FIG.
By applying a pressing force F by the elastic pad member 3 from behind the lumbar vertebrae 6, 6, the curvature is corrected in a direction in which the lumbar vertebrae 6, 6 are in a normal state via the intervertebral disc 7.

In the above embodiment, the back rest 1a and the left and right belly rests 1b and 1c of the belt main body 1, that is, the entire belt main body 1 is formed by the elastic elastic band. On the other hand, the left and right belly pads 1b and 1c may be formed on the elastic elastic band while the elastic band is formed on the elastic elastic band, while the back pad 1a is formed on the elastic elastic band. The left and right abdominal pad portions 1b and 1c may be formed in a non-stretchable, non-elastic band portion. Furthermore, the back support part 1a may be formed of a breathable cloth, and the back support part 1a is formed wider than the left and right belly support parts 1b and 1c, and the inner surface of the center part of the back support part 1a or A rod-shaped elastic pad member 3 having a length shorter than the width of the back support 1a may be mounted inside.

[0021]

As described above, according to the low back pain belt of the present invention, the center portion in the longitudinal direction is used as the back rest portion, and both end sides are formed as the belly rest portions, and the belly rest portions are engaged with each other. In the main body for lumbago provided with a locking device such as a velvet type fastener that can be fitted, a vertically elongated rod-like elastic pad member that is pressed linearly along the length direction of the vertebra is attached to the back support part. Since it has a structure such that the elastic pad member is vertically attached to the spine along the side of the vertebra of the painful part in the spine, and the abdominal pads on both sides are tensioned and attached while being crimped to the waist, It is possible to concentrate the crimping force on the lumbar region on the elastic pad member, and the concentrated crimping force positively acts as a pressing force for correcting the torsion of the vertebra to put the vertebra in a normal state where pain is eliminated in a short time. Is something that can be corrected

Further, when the main body of the band is attached to the lumbar region, the abdomen pad on the side where the pain is felt is placed on the other abdomen with the elastic pad member being in contact with the spine along the right side of the vertebra as described above. When the elastic pad member is worn while further increasing the tension of the pad, the correction force is further increased by the elastic pad member, and the back pain can be treated in a short period of time.
