How should the belt be positioned?
Your physician is the best one to advise you of the exact positioning of the belt. However, in general terms, the belt should be positioned so that the lower edge of the belt is as far above the upper part of the hip bones as the upper edge of the belt is below the lowest part of the ribs. As the belt is inflated, the lower edge expands downward to anchor itself against the upper part of the hip bones and the upper edge expands upwards to anchor itself against the lower portion of the ribs.Once this anchoring occurs, further expansion of the belt results in positive traction to the lumbar spine.
