Corrective clothing helps against illnesses

Some types of diseases are not treated with medications, but corrective clothing is used for treatment purposes (shapewear or corrective elements in clothing, orthopedic clothing or orthopedic devices for putting on the body).

It has been known since ancient times that the incorrect position of the spine and internal organs introduces many diseases into a person’s life, the origin of which many people are not even aware of. For example, pain in various parts of the back or cervical spine may indicate incorrect posture (or, in other words, incorrect curvature of the spinal column). This violation of the alignment of the bones of the spine is often reflected in diseases of the internal organs and their systems (digestive system, cardiovascular system). A weak muscle corset causes no less harm to internal organs than diseases of these organs acquired from exposure to external factors. For example, prolapse of organs or displacement of organs due to sudden weight loss or as a result of carrying excessive weights. Hernias and excess fat cause abnormal position of internal organs and disrupt the functioning of internal organs.

For the purpose of healing and getting rid of harmful curvatures and disturbed positions of organs, corrective devices in clothing are used : reclinators, corsets, bandages, shapewear.

Reclinators (or posture correctors) are used not only to correct incorrect position of the spine, but also to fix certain parts of the spine after injuries or surgical intervention during the rehabilitation period. These devices in the form of wide ribbons have a fabric and elastic base, can be tightened and expanded, and change the location of the ribbons on the body for specific needs. Reclinators are good because they can be used without medical education. These are common household appliances in clothing.

Corsets are needed not only for tightening problem areas in the figure. Their main role in the treatment of diseases is rigid fixation and support of those areas of the spinal column that require correction of back problems. Corsets relieve stress on the spinal column well, which is important for various types of spinal defects and for their correction.

Bandages have a wide range of applications for the prevention and treatment of diseases of internal organs and the spine. If necessary, they can play the role of a warming and local massage agent to reduce the load on the muscles or parts of the spine, which is very important for diseases accompanied by pain. Bandages fix parts of the body less rigidly than a corset, reducing mobility and thereby allowing problem areas in the body to be corrected during various types of treatment. Bandages look not only like belts, but also like shorts, which makes them much easier to wear. Bandages are often used for prolapse of internal organs, hernias, and excess fatty tissue.

Shapewear is not used for tightening, as is commonly thought, but for simultaneous lifting and tightening. For medicinal purposes, such underwear must be worn to prevent sagging of the skin, muscles and fat layer, for a massage effect for swelling. Shapewear differs from shapewear in that it is created to be worn throughout the day, and not for a limited time (4-5 hours), since its elastic base allows air to pass through to the skin of the body, unlike shapewear, which is usually created with rubberized and quite dense.

As a rule, serious problems with the spine and internal organs require consultation with a medical specialist on choosing the type of corrective clothing or its elements. You can choose shapewear at your own discretion, since the wrong choice of such clothing will not harm your health.
