BraceAbility Lumbar Decompression Support Belt - Extra Large Adjustable Spinal Corset Brace for Discectomy, Laminectomy, Disc Injury, Back Muscle Spasms, Pre and Post Spine Surgery Protection (XL)

The brace is very effective, but the back panel too flimsy and not supportive. Just moves around when bending over. I decided to buy this same product, a bit cheaper without the panel. Provides enough support without the panel.very effective. pulls very strong and tight and easier to use than other cheaper back braces. I did go down a size however (waist size 30). The front belt is smaller on the small and easier to wear, although the medium has a wider band which has a bit more size/hip support, it felt too bulky. the small I can adjust well enough.Helps with my sciatica and herniated lower lumbar discs.

If you need to wear a brace, I'll say this is fairly comfortable. The additional tightening straps are a game changer in terms of achieving maximum support. I've only had it on a couple of times so far so can't comment on durability yet.

The product does work fine. I use it while working. It's easy to adjust when sitting or standing. After wearing for two weeks I've notice that the strings are stretching out and im pulling it further than before. The plastic does keep my back rigid but it slips down my back throughout the day and I have to make adjustments every hour. Overall I think it works relieving my back pain and sciatic nerve pain. It take time to get use to so I would ease into it as it can restrict breathing if you make it too tight.

Sizing was very inconsistent. According to your sizing chart, I needed XL. XL was probably 6-8 inches short. I ended up with 3XL which was 6 inches to long but I made it work. Used for after back surgery.

I recently had discs removed from my back pre-surgery they said that they were going to order me a brace they wanted $450 for this price I told him they were crazy I live on a fixed income couldn't do it but I knew if I went on Amazon I'd find what I needed this was a slam dunk it works great it's great to be able to adjust and I highly recommend this the deal that it is is supposed to what the hospital wants to sell you you know do the math it's a deal. Once again thanks Amazon

I fractured my L5 vertebrae and am in constant pain 24/7. I wear two braces and they both are terrible. They all have to be re-adjusted every few minutes. Why in the world can't they come up with a brace that stays in place? I need this for my lower back and in a few minutes...even after tightening as tight as I can...it slides up...therefore, providing no back support whatsoever. I think I have an idea for a better brace that would stay in place....but how to get it to market is another question. I am so disappointed. I have spent money that I really don't have to waste...and none work.

Highly recommend!! My Mom uses this, and is SO happy to have it. It has been such a great back support for her. A little context: my mother has lumbar displacement. She needs surgery but is not able to go under knife due to age and many other health issues. She is on multiple daily pain meds. The neurologist did prescribe her a medical grade back brace, but it had been almost a whole year and I was unable to get my hands on it. The insurance does cover it, but the DMEs that are under insurance either didn't have it or was out of stock. The one sold at the medical supply store is over $500 out of pocket; which surpasses my affordability. I have seen few similar or same-ish braces including this one online, but I was hesitant. Mom's pain had been getting worse, and the over the counter belts or simpler braces from DME wasn't helping anymore. I took the leap of faith, and bought it to give it a try. OMG!! Miracle! Mom has been way much more active and feels less pain. She is much more stable now. The only thing that is somewhat odd is...if you are a female, your breast do look weird when sitting down; it bulges up but isn't uncomfortable. For the pain relief, this is a small sacrifice.

It is a great back brace. Received delivery as expected.The back brace was recommended by our personal trainer.
