Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike in the past, bed rest for more than 2-3 days is not advised. For acute back pain patient may take a little rest and consult a doctor but long-term rest is not allowed. The reason is that bed rest for more than 3 days can cause muscle weakness which is not desirable.
So, at Noida Pain Management Clinic, we advise that the patient can move about a little if pain is still present after a few days. Of course, lifting heavy weights is to be avoided when having back pain for a few days till the pain is completely gone. Book appointment  

These belts are only to be used for a very short period or if there is an injury in the spine leading to instability. The aim of treating chronic back pain is to improve back muscle tone and strength. When we use lumbar belts all the time, the back muscles get weakened and do more harm to us. There have been studies that show that these belts can make back more and more stiff if used for a long.
Also, it’s important to remember that by using these belts, one part of the back is restricted which can lead to other muscles of the back sharing the stress. This obviously can result in injury to these muscles. Not to forget the fact that constant pressure on our abdomen can also lead to problems in our digestive system sometimes. Book appointment
