Back and Abdominal Supports An active lifestyle depends on a healthy back. Whether you are recovering from a back injury or trying to prevent one, ITA-MED has a high quality, long lasting back support for you. How to prevent lower back problems: Sit upright with a natural curve in the lower spine. When lifting heavy objects bend the knees not your back. Contract your stomach muscles and keep your shoulders and back straight. Always use a back support when performing physical activities or when lifting heavy objects. Statistical Facts Almost eight-five percent of the world’s population suffers from lower back pain at least once in their lifetime. Back injury is the leading cause of work related disability. Lost work time, insurance and physical rehabilitation account for an estimated loss of 15-20 billion dollars in business each year in the United States. This is the direct result of 100 million lost workdays each year. For this reason, prevention of both accident injuries and repetitive motion injuries is an enormous concern to every one of us. Why Chose ITA-MED Back Supports? Many years ago, when we decided to start making Back and Abdominal supports, we analyzed many other types of supports available on the market and determined three important things. First, we could create products of higher quality. Second, we could make them more comfortable. And third, they could certainly look better and last longer. By using unique, versatile designs and higher quality materials, we’ve created a line of superior back and abdominal supports. You'll find that ITA-MED products provide more support, last for years not weeks, and are comfortable enough to wear all day, everyday. |
