MEDiBrace Back Support Belt Back Brace for Lower Lumbar Pain Relief for Men and Women - Medical Grade Orthopaedic Waist Compression for Sciatica Nerve, Scoliosis, Disc or Lifting at Work

I was very impressed with this back support, it's comfortable and very supportive. I really like the fact you have the side bits to get the tightness you want. I've had problems with my back for years, one of my disc's is sticking out so it touches the nerve in my spine when the nerve swells or I've had my back bent for too long. As an active 36 year old it's honestly (and quite literally due to sciatica) a pain in the arse. I'd been on my boyfriends motorbike recently and was in agony with my back after, the whole ride I was in pain and suffered for hours after we got home. I couldn't actually put enough weight on my left leg to get off the bike (the left side suffers when my back kicks off) and we were only on it 40 mins with an hours break in the middle. We were due to go to the Motogp which would be over 2hrs on the back of the bike each way, I was really nervous and seriously thought I wouldn't be able to get off the bike let alone walk after the journey. I looked into back supports and found this and I'm so glad I did. I had absolutely no pain whatsoever on the way there and was fine when I got off the bike, maybe a tiny bit achy but what do you expect. I was so relieved and couldn't believe it had worked so well (I did take 2 nurofen plus before we left as well for transparency but with those alone I would have been in so much pain) The ride home was a bit uncomfortable but even then it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. Long story short, it's a really good back brace, good quality and strong materials. I love the fact you can adjust the tightness of it. I'll continue to wear it more often in situations where I know my back will be a problem.

I have suffered from chronic lower back pain for some years. The pain comes and goes, but can come on through the simplest of movements. I have had a back support (from the NHS), but this eventually wore out. Earlier this year I started looking around for another back support which would be lighter than the NHS one, and a little larger (as I'd put a little weight on over the years). I read all the write ups and eventually chose to give the "Medibrace" a try. At nearly £30.00 (with P+P) it is one of the more expensive back supports, but it had many excellent reviews so I bought one (XL size for my 36" waist). It arrived in less than a week. Well packaged, and with an instruction leaflet. It felt very light and looked to be well made. I tried it on immediately. It was very easy to put on, and it has a "double pull" action. You place the belt around your waist (low down) and pull - but not too much - and then press the wide "velcro" belt together. The support felt very comfortable at this stage. You then grip the two extra belts which are hanging down at the back, pull the very stretchy belts around towards the front of your body and when you feel the belt pulled tight around your body you press the "velcro" belts together. The belt again felt very comfortable and gave me the immediate feeling that my back was being supported firmly - but not too much. I tried pulling the stretchy belts tighter, then slacker, but the first position was the most comfortable. I carried out a days work fitting and plumbing in a new toilet in our house, and at the end of the day my back felt fine. I could feel the belt supporting me all the time I was wearing it. When I took it off, my skin was a bit "sweaty" - but no more so than when I wore the NHS belt. I now wear the belt whenever I'm going to do any work requiring a lot of bending, stretching and lifting. In the two weeks I've had the belt, I can only praise the design, quality and effectiveness of the support it gives. Every time I wear the Medibrace support, it not only gives me physical support, but also gives me confidence to tackle the simple tasks of everyday life, which without a back support, I would have approached with some trepidation. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend this support to anyone who suffers backache. Philip Edwards. (aged 64) North Wales UK.

It fits and is comfortable. Plenty of support for the small of the back. Maybe a tad expensive. It should help with my problems with a bad back.

Absolutely fantastic, this product has definitely lessened the pain that I feel in my back and even my sciatica has improved. This item is very affordable, incredibly well made and has proven to be a game changer for me which is priceless

Product quality is great, feel it the moment you add it on. Delivery with Amazon was terrible, other than that warm recommendation from me, helped my acute lower back pain.

The smell was overwhelming, I only wore it for 20 minutes. My clothes and body were left with a terrible odor!

This is my second time buy after 5 years. It’s well built and gives the required support. Great for my L4/L5 disk issue.

A great help for my mom the support really is good for her back

Excellent support

I was recently changed in job positions. My new job requires me to lift a loy of heavy product. This back brace has helped me out a lot. I am a big girl and this fits perfect. It helps me remember to nit bend when lifting.
