A member asked:
What are these different types of belts best used for? decompression belt vs traction belt vs lumbar belt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low back pain: These belts are used to relieve low back pain by reducing stress on the joints and ligaments of the spine and sacroiliac joints. The decompression belts may take the pressure off the pinched nerves too. The best belt for you is the one that relieves pain and is comfortable to wear for an extended period of time. These belts are used as an adjunct to other therapies.
