Girdles are not a highly recommended element in spinal pathology. Since they weaken the muscles, your exercise must be very restrained and very punctual.

Hello Mario,
Lumbar belts can work to relieve discomfort and protect the lower back from movement. One of the contraindications of lumbar belts is that they can cause an increase in blood pressure, so it is always recommended to perform a checkup before using them. Furthermore, using a girdle is not a solution but will have to be accompanied with another type of treatment such as physiotherapy.
Greetings.

Thank you for your inquiry. We don't sell belts at our clinic, but the price of a lumbar support belt can vary depending on the type and location of purchase. We recommend consulting with a specialized provider to choose the right belt for your needs.
If you need advice on which type of girdle might be best for you, please don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll be happy to help.
Greetings.
