<p>An air injection type stomach band for distracting (e.g. stretching or extending) the lumbar vertebra of disc patients is disclosed. In the air injection type stomach band for distracting the lumbar vertebrae of disc patients, a plurality of air expansion tubes (4) are connected perpendicularly to an air injection tube (20) at equidistant intervals. When air is injected into the air expansion tubes (4), the air expansion tubes (4) are elastically expanded so as to distract the vertebrae which constitute the lumbar vertebra. When the lumbar vertebrae are pressed, the pulpar nucleus which lies at the center of the fibrous ring is projected out. Then the projected pulpar nucleus presses the nerve, thereby causing pains in the patients. The wearing of the stomach band strengthens the fibrous ring and the lig. longitudinale anterius. Therefore, the pain is alleviated, and prevents the pulpar nucleus from being projected. Therefore, an essential treatment is possible. In this state, the wearer of this device can perform athletic exercise, so that the disc symptom can be cured. In a person who is not a disc patient, the device of the present invention protects the lumbar vertebra of the person during work or athletic exercise. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
