Yes, I too am someone who rarely writes a review - this product is certainly deserving!A few months back, I fell on the ice, hurting my back. I tried a month of bedrest, and everything got worse. I didn't realize that I had a fractured and dislocated L1 vertebrae, and ended up in the hospital for 9 days after my spinal cord swelled outside of my spinal column and paralyzed my right hip, leg, and foot - terrifying. After several types of epidural shots in my back and resetting the vertebrae, I was discharged in a wheelchair for a month of home PT and OT. Half way through and still bedridden, I was ready to explore other options. I researched back brace options all over Google and Bing for review lists and finally Amazon customer reviews. All pointed me to name brand medical braces, but I was concerned because several comments expressed concern that while medical grade, the velcro broke down quickly, making the brace useless. I read the reviews for this product, and I admit, I was enticed by the "Oh my god!" comments and others who commented on how well it worked. I ordered one on Memorial Day Sunday and was stunned that it arrived on Memorial Day. I can only say that this has changed my life from day #1.I was in between sizes (1/2 inch over) and went with the smaller size, which is more than adequate and actually preferred because I can continue to use it as I "downsize" with a back injury and I find that it allows me to better tighten up the brace (the video shows a ~100 lbs woman just about wrapping around to her back). I kid you not, as soon as I put it on, I was able to stand. With much amazement and a walker, I found that I could walk with manageable pain. After a couple of hours and with the necessary safety buddy, I was able to walk downstairs and made it to the pool for some much needed weightless floating relief. It was a joy after so many months of lying flat on my back. For the first time in several months, today I have been able to sit all day at my home desk and work from home, the day after I received this brace. I am so optimistic, I intend to work in the office on Thursday - ambitious maybe, but this was exactly what I was needed to reclaim my life and have hope that I will get better and that this is now manageable, even if I have to use my granny walker for a while longer.I know that there are a lot of sham reviews on Amazon - please check that I am a verified user. I can't give high enough feedback for this item. It is very good quality - sturdy, but without being restrictive at a desk. The velcro is very high quality, and the ability to tighten the brace with the two side straps allows you to tighten them when you need them and loosen them when you need a break or need to adjust. I really just can't believe that after a few weeks of home PT and OT, this product was the only thing that has helped me to get out of bed in months. Wow! I just can't say enough good things, beyond sincerely thank you - this has saved my hope and is helping me to recover my health. Just the best - don't look anywhere else!

Measure carefully. Seems to run small. Works great wore it one day and that nite I had no more back pain. Fits under a shirt also and was not terribly uncomfortable on bare skin

I do a lot of bending in the nighttime and lifting heavy boxes, so it sits very dirty. I really helps with my back, so I love it.

I placed the order Sunday afternoon and it was delivered 4:58 am Monday morning! It gave me relief from a very painful lower back condition, that has been hurting for weeks. Wow, much better than pills.

When I threw my back out this was exactly what I needed to take some of the pressure off my low back. There is a terrible smell that didn't seem to go away but I decided to keep the item since it did help my back.

Helps to reduce back pain or discomfort instantly. I recently used this on a long road trip because I've been having lower back pain and was worried about the long ride. Once pain/discomfort started I put brace on and within 15/20min, back felt fine again and was able to drive without it.

This is very helpful for anybody that has sustained a back injury or has chronic low back pain

Bought this for my dad and he said that it helps so much with his back aches especially when mowing the grass. We did end up having to go up a size from his normal so that there was some room.

Only used twice to rake leaves and shovel some snow. Felt comfortable and supportive. No back pain so far.

Size is ok

Une descente de vertèbre

the thickness and width of the belt is so small. The belt has net in between which makes it loose. Also it comes till upper abdomen and cannot reach your lower back. This product can be used for posture correction but not for back pain relief.
