Air LOMB System

Inflatable belts Air LOMB

The Air LOMB inflatable belts have interconnected oblong inner tubes.

The air, injected manually by the user, contained in these tubes and in direct contact with the muscles of the lumbar area, activates 5 vectors:

• Relief of the pressure on the vertebral discs in the lumbar area (lower spine, D12 to L5S1, according to the model). Indeed, during inflation, Air LOMB causes a lumboabdominal solidarisation and a slight stretch of the spinal column in the lumbar area and in the sacro-lumbar area (L4L5S1). It contributes to increasing the interdiscal space and to relieving disc and vertebrae pain, especially in cases of Spinal Disc Herniation, Lumbar Discopathy, Sciatica and Cruralgia...
• 2. Solidarisation of the natural lumbo-abdominal belt, at the level of the spinal column, without compressing the abdomen, allowing all the usual movements without discomfort and apprehension (entirely flexible belt without bone), especially in cases of Lumbalgia, Lumbago, Dorsalgia....
• Conservation of the correct heat in the lumbar area, thanks to the insulating properties of the inflatable part. So the belt prevents cold in the lumbar area, especially in cases of Lumbar osteoarthritis, Lumbalgia or if you put your back out...
• Massage and the relaxation of lumbar muscles during all movements, thanks to the circulation of air in the inner tubes. Therefore, air circulating during movement acts as the fingers of the masseur on the muscles, producing blood vasodilatation and relaxing muscles, particularly relevant to fighting against spasm of paravertebral muscles, in cases of sporting activity (Driving, Cycling, Horse riding, Tennis...).
• Absorption of vibrations, like any pneumatic, by the air filled inner tubes. Significant benefits have been observed especially among professional drivers: building and public works sector, forklift truck drivers, operators, drivers (cars, motorbikes), pilots (airplanes, helicopters)... More broadly, all the professionals who feel vibrations in the lower back during their activity can enjoy the benefits of the Air LOMB innovative system. The Air LOMB belts are also used by the staff of aircraft carriers and helicopter pilots of the French Navy.

All these vectors of activity and efficiency convince users to consider that the inflatable lumbar belts from AIRLOMB constitute a significant innovation, contributing to the prevention and the fight against back pain

Benefits of the Air LOMB belts

Wearing the Air LOMB belt can break the vicious circle of lumbalgia and initiate the virtuous circle of the movement without apprehension, the physical activity and the health of your BACK!

The AirLOMB belt can be worn all the times, without risk of muscle wasting. Contrary to elastic belts (with bone), AirLOMB is not a substitute for muscles

AirLOMB causes a slight stretch of the lumbar column, relieving discs, nerves and vertebrae, which allows you to move again without apprehension and eases the return to normal,or almost normal, physical activity

After studies within local authorities and some companies, the results on the users of the Air LOMB inflatable belt are the following:

• Immediate and progressive decrease of pain, until it disappears
• Stop medicines such as analgesics, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants...
• Increase of flexibility
• Resumption of the normal activity and recovery of the muscle strength
• Improvement of sleep quality
• Significant decline in sick leave (over 80%)
• Feeling of confidence and well-being, at work and outside

Back Pain / Pathology

Today back diseases are very common in the population. For many people, these diseases are a real discomfort, a handicap in everyday life.

According to recent studies, 4 out of 5 people suffer from back pain. So back pain represents: 

• The third reason for doctor visits, about 7% of daily visits,
• The top cause of radiological examinations, 
• The top cause for physiotherapist visits. 

More than a personal handicap, these diseases affect also one’s professional life. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent one of the most worrying issues in occupational health today. The number of cases is on the rise for the last 10 years.

The most affected professions are the following: building, public works, transport, warehouse, medical personal (nurses, hospital workers, etc...). More precisely, low back pain represents: 

• The highest incidence of work disability among persons under age 45 years 
• The second most frequent cause of accidents. 

Now there is an effective solution: the inflatable Air LOMB belts.
