Frequently asked questions

How long should I wear a support belt each day?

Most people wear supports during activities that trigger pain such as lifting, walking, working or sitting for long periods. Heavier weight back supports are not designed for permanent use. Wearing the belt for activity based periods, supports the back without weakening the muscles. However, VertiBaX have developed a lightweight sensory belt which is worn for extended periods, all day every day as required, helping with persistent lower back pain relief.

Can neck braces help with stiffness or whiplash?

A neck support can reduce movement, ease muscle tension and help you maintain a neutral head position. They can be useful for short-term relief from stiffness, sprains or mild whiplash, but they should not be worn for long periods without guidance from a healthcare professional.

How tight should a back support belt be?

It should feel snug and supportive but never restrict breathing or cause discomfort. You should be able to move, sit and stand naturally. If the belt leaves deep marks or feels overly tight, loosen the adjustment straps slightly.

How do I choose the right back support for lower back pain?

Most people benefit from a belt that provides gentle compression and warmth across the lumbar area. If your pain worsens during movement, choose a support that stabilises the spine and limits excessive motion. If your discomfort is more muscular, a flexible belt that warms the core and improves posture is usually most effective.

Can a support belt help with sciatica pain?

A properly fitted belt can help reduce pressure on the lower spine, which may ease sciatic nerve irritation. It won’t cure sciatica, but it can help stabilise the pelvis, reduce painful flare-ups during movement, and provide short-term relief while you manage symptoms with exercise or treatment.

When should I use a heavy-lifting back support?

Use a lifting support when performing tasks that place extra strain on your lower back such as moving furniture, repetitive warehouse lifting or manual labour. It helps keep your posture aligned, reduces the risk of sudden strain and offers core stability when your muscles fatigue.

Are child back supports safe for everyday use?

Child back supports are designed to be lightweight and flexible. They are suitable for posture training, mild lower-back discomfort and general support during activity. Children should only wear a support for short, guided periods and it should be properly fitted by an adult.
