the best belly binder to wear during pregnancy to reduce back pain

Why You Need This Abdominal Binder & Compression Belly Band

There are a number of situations where an abdominal wrap is an effective garment. A binder brace for the stomach applies compression to your low back as well as your upper and lower abdomen. The compression and support provided have a number of benefits that make this belly band great for treating a variety of things, including:

  • Diastasis recti (stomach muscle separation)
  • Early stage abdominal hernias or post hernia surgery
  • Pregnancy-related discomfort or pain
  • Abdominal muscle strain or cramping
  • Weak abdominal muscles
  • Post-surgical incisions
  • Back pain
  • Bladder problems

Some examples of post-surgical care include after liposuction, hysterectomy or tummy tuck surgery, postnatal (after your baby is born), especially if you had a C-section or multiple birth delivery, or following hernia surgery (see more hernia supports).

But remember, it’s important to consult with your doctor or physical therapist about using abdominal supports after surgery, as splinting isn’t right for everyone.

Diastasis Recti Splint for Abdominal Support During & After Pregnancy

Pregnancy puts a lot of extra pressure on your belly, which occasionally causes the muscles in your abdominal wall to lose their shape, pull apart, and separate, also known as diastasis recti. When your stomach muscles separate, your abdominal organs only have a thin band of connective tissue in front to hold them in place. In some rare, extreme cases this thin tissue may tear, and your organs may poke out of the opening, which is called a hernia.

The muscle opening often shrinks after giving birth, but research shows some women with diastasis recti experience symptoms even up to a year postnatal. Combined with exercise, this elastic bandage provides great diastasis recti prevention and lightweight support for expecting mothers.

How Do I Know If I Have Diastasis Recti?

There will likely be a bulge or pooch in the middle of your belly. You might only notice it while your abdominal muscles are tense, such as during coughing.

Diastasis recti can also occur among middle-aged and older men with abdominal obesity, as well as men who yo-yo diet, do sit-ups wrong, or weight lift incorrectly. (Use our quick and easy BMI calculator to find out if you’re overweight or obese!)

 

What Is an Abdominal Hernia? (Do I Have One?)

An abdominal hernia refers to a protrusion of your intestine through an opening or weak area of the abdominal wall. While this does cause a noticeable bulge, it does not typically cause a lot of pain.

A hernia can occur in a number of places on your body, with the hernia’s classification depending upon where one that develops around your belly button is known as an umbilical hernia, while an inguinal hernia might appear in the groin area, for example. Learn the difference between an abdominal strain and a hernia.

Thanks to the versatility of this abdominal hernia brace, it can help whether you are in need of an abdominal binder for an umbilical hernia or a femoral hernia in the leg.
