To answer your question about how decompression belts helps increase muscle strength around the waist.

According to the clinical researches conducted by Seoul Paik Hospital in 1995 and 1999, the first study showed that wearing the air inflated lumbar corset contributed to muscular strength of the extensor at  the lumbar wertebrae.
Second report proves that the air inflated corset boosts muscular strength around the waist, contrary to the fact that general spinal braces could weaken muscular strength around the waist.

The pain decreasing effect of the air inflated lumbar corset was more effective with the older patients. This is deemed to be related to the report about the increased forward extension (bending forward) at the lumbar vertebrae by wearing the air inflated lumbar corset. This finding is in accord with McKenzie`s report, asserting that the symptom helps decrease low back pain and exercises boosting muscle atrength and extension helps to reduce radiating pain.

As you know, physical therapy is well known conservative treatment for a lumbar herniated disc. Disk Dr Waist WG30 not only widens and supports vertebrae but it also forces muscles around the waist to exercise more.

The goals of chiropractic / osteopathic manipulation and physical therapy are to reduce pain and allow the patient to return to a normal level of functioning. Disk Dr WG30 / WG50 patented special air pocket columns help our patients to be more productive and more active. Active rehabilitation is one of the Disk Dr WG30 / WG50 great features.

Decompression Belts Testimonials:

Extremely lucky to stumble across these guys. Constant stress on my back due to the field that I am in I was considering reducing my hours but the magical belt which was allocated to me has proven to be more than just a belt. I wear belt WG50 G2 all day long simply because my back has never felt better over all.

It's a simple, but unique device to solve the complicated problem. Easy to apply and you can get your life back. You can heal if you are free from pain.

I obtained a Disk Dr. WG30 belt for my mother who had suffered from low back pain for almost 10 years, in which she had also undergone back surgery. Although she has only used the belt for 3 months, she has experienced significant relief of her pain and associated discomfort. We are optimistic that this progress will continue steadily.

I have to say that Disk Dr WG30 transformed my life.
I have a severely prolapsed disc at level L5/S1 and had been placed on the NHS waiting list for discectomy operation. In my search to find some form of support belt to enable me to get back into the woods( I am a coppice woodsman) whilst I wait for an operation, I came across the Disk Dr WG30. Reading all the information I could find on it, it made complete sense to my logical brain, that a traction belt would almost certainly relieve the pain enough for me to get back on my life.

Using the Disk Dr belt as recommended, I have found that not only am I nerve pain free, but I am also able to work once again to full capacity. So much so, I have taken myself off the waiting list for this high risk operation and, I have reduced my strong pharmaceutical pain killers to less than half of what I was using before I got the belt.
Putting on the belt and inflating it to 14psi makes my sciatica "evaporate" within approximately 2 minutes. What a brilliant device! Thank you so much!

I have been suffering with chronic back pain for many years and have undergone numerous treatment modalities, as well as pain management. As a rehabilitation professional, I felt I had exhausted my options and feared surgical intervention was the only resource left.
I was advised to try traction belt Disk Dr WG50 in conjunction with my physical therapy and pain medication.
I am pleased to say, I no longer require pain medication! My quality of life is improved. I would recommend this traction belt for use by others as an additional to their current physical therapy.

The Disk Dr. WG30 belt has made a significant contribution to my rate of recovery and I would recommend it to anyone who has the sort of back pain that I have had.

I find my Disk Dr. belt excellent for a number of reasons as I have had two discs removed following sporting injuries in the past and now I suffer from discs slipping / moving periodically.

I'm in my sixties but still enjoy golf. I find that I can wear The Disk Dr belt as a preventative measure when playing golf and long distance driving without discomfort or loss of turn movement. When I have pain I fit the belt and leave it in place for up to six hours. I find that the insertion of air actually causes the back to stretch and I can feel the discs separate which allows spinal cord to move away from the discs and relief the pain.
Colin, Purley

I have spinal stenosis I had a spinal operation,decompression of L4/L5. The orthopaedic surgeon said I would probably return within 2 years for spinal fusion the operation was December 2012. After much research I found the lumbar decompression belt Disk Dr WG30 I use it in combination with NHS stretching exercises, my surgeon has said whatever you are doing keep doing it there is no need for spinal fusion at this time. What a truly great product thank you.
Peter Griffiths, Dorset

I have been using Disk Dr WG30 belt for the best part of two weeks and I can honestly say it has made a dramatic difference to my life. Before I started using the WG30, I was accustomed to sitting at my desk in constant pain. Now I can work comfortably for the entire day. I am grateful for the advise for frequent breaks and exercising. All I can say so far so good.
Conrad Russell, Romford, 2011

I can`t tell you just how much I rely on the Disc Dr. WG30 - it`s helped me enormously and I can now lead an almost normal life! I recommended it to a friend in France who, like myself, has suffered many riding accidents and she rang me the other day to say she`d just ridden a horse for the first time in three years - thanks to the Disc Dr belt.
Diana Carter, 2016

I am really satisfied with the Disk Dr belt I have received from your site. I started gaining good pain relief and so I started recommending it to people I know who where suffering from back pain. The person who recommended this belt to me that he gained 100% relief after approximately 3 months of use.

I am ageing golfer, my WG30 back support has given me a new lease of life for which I am extremely grateful. I wear it during my round and find it extremely light, it's not restrictive and also lifts the pressure on my back in a way no previous support has done. Many thanks.
Colin Murphy, Alicante

I purchased my Disk Dr on recommendation from a builder colleague who had back problems for years. He had tried all types of treatment help his pain and said this really helped him.
I initially thought it rather expensive but went ahead and bought it. I have had it around two years and its been money well spent. Wearing it for several hours when my back plays up is a great hell from the pain. I would recommend it to anyone with a back problem.
Chris Baldwin, Worcester

I bought one Disk Dr WG30, one Disk Dr Neck and two Disk Dr WG50 for myself and my family and we all are very happy with these items, they are very helpful and we recommend to everyone who suffer back and neck  pain and very good seller with excellent customer service.

The belt Disk Dr. WG30 is like magic, literally! The sales person has been wonderful and very flexible with the belt sizes. I ordered one and unfortunately the belt didn't fit and he was very accommodating in allowing me to change. It was very generous of him, and I appreciate the excellent customer service. Don't delay buy the Disk Dr. belt today!

I am very satisfied with the Disk Dr belt, it is really helping me.
Viviane, UAE/France

Thank you so much for the belt. I'm myself a doctor I was sceptical about the belt, but it really works. I've been tackling with my back pain watching it getting worse for last three years and using Disk Dr belt for the first time felt some relief. Thank you.
Paolo S G Costa, Brasil

I have been using Disk Dr belt daily and find that it really relieves back stress. I have a scoliosis and with age my rib cage is sinking more into my hips that causes some pain which I happily find the belt remedies. This was a great purchase and worth every moment of wearing it.
RELIEF!... I would like to add that wearing the belt while sitting at the computer for hours helps me beware of not collapsing into scoliosis curve which in part causes pain but also helps aid the curves decent.
Lesleigh Goldberg, New Delhi, India

I have suffered from back pain for over ten years. I was diagnosed with grade one spondylolisthesis. I have tried all sorts of belts, all sorts of treatments, supplements, you name it I have tried it. I have not had pain lying or sitting down, but standing and walking have, historically, been very painful.
This Disk Dr belt stretches your back, while you are walking, standing and sitting. I am not sure how it is working, but previously trapped nerves and muscles going into spasm, is no longer occurring and therefore I am not getting any pain.
In addition, I am told, that there is a possibility of the discs in my back re hydrating themselves over time. Also, other belts squeeze your muscles, whereas this belt exercises your muscles with the stretch.
The belt is comfortable and even when pumped up is fairly tight but extremely supportive. 
Pricey, but just a month cost of a Chiropractor.
Brenda, Amazon, 2017

Roland was brilliant and a great company to deal with. Had to change the size of belt and was done very efficiently. Will definitely buy stuff in future and highly recommend them.
JAC, Colchester, 2018

I have three herniated discs and I have always suffered from excruciating pains and long days stuck in bed and taking pain medication. I bought many lumbar bands in Italy and out even much more expensive than the Spinal Decompression WG30 G2 without or with very few results then I found this site: www.orthomedical.co.uk and I watched all the videos, I thought this is a great innovation and I bought my belt, when I got it I did the procedure by following the instructions and felt stretch the spine in a pleasant way and the pain is gone !!!! The pump included with the belt goes to inflate the belt and so 'the space between the vertebrae of the spine and the pain decreases a lot or completely because the flattened disc bearing is relieved by pressure of the vertebrae due to the tension caused by the belt swelling up the spine.
This belt has changed my life and I thank the Korean doctor who created to whom I would give the noble .... Moreover, when I received the package (perfectly packaged and fast shipping) I immediately checked the production of the belt and where it was done , fearing to find the wording made in China, but no belt was designed and manufactured entirely in Korea, so the quality of the excellent materials and the maniacal assembly !!! The model of the belt that I took is: Spinal Decompression WG30 G2 really exceptional and I recommend to anyone suffering from back pain to not waste time and come to this site to solve his problems.
Special thanks to Roland, the director of the London company who has always been available, kind and quick in their answers.

I have had many consultations and examinations over the years and my Father (a doctor himself) suffered from the same. Some of the intervertebral discs have collapsed, indeed they are hardly there now. I have tried many things and the only thing that has really helped and allowed me to lead a reasonably normal life is the Disk Dr belt, which I purchased in 2013. I will be 94 in a few time. Yours sincerely,
E. H. M. Harris, Woodbridge, November, 2020

Given that the Dr Disk device is the only thing that helps with my disc degeneration problem since I cannot take any anti-inflammatories due to an autoimmune disease, it is vital to me so any assistance on the matter would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance.
