ABSTRACT:
A belt for supporting the lumbar region of the spine provides transverse and axial support to the hard tissues, including the vertebrae and discs of the lumbar spine, while accommodating extension and contraction of the soft tissues, including the paraspinal musculatures. A compressible support extending from and fixably positioned by the belt includes a vertically transversely oriented ridge bearing against the hard tissues and interleaved troughs for nestingly receiving the soft tissues and without appreciable laterally compressive restrictive effect.
