MEDiBrace Lower Back Support Belt, Lumbar Brace, Sciatica Pain Relief

This is a well made brace. It arrived safely packaged. I bought the XL to give more wraparound room and because it goes up to a 47 inch waist it is exactly right - the one to fit my husband's waist measurement would not have given the right amount of room- his waist is 42 inches. It looks good - I bought the blue one. He says it is comfortable. It helps with his periodic back ache. It is important to get the right size to allow the wraparound fit. Happy to recommend this item.

Great support for your back, I’ve just fractured l4-l5 vertebrae in a motorbike accident, where a car rammed me off the road because I beeped him to make him aware of my presence when he pulled out on me at the roundabout. Anyway this makes a massive difference although I felt it was missing pressure on my lower back and noticed that their is a plus version that comes with a Gel Pad, I could see that this was exactly what my back was crying out for so I sent this one back in order to purchase the plus version, and what a difference, it does exactly what I thought it would and strengthens my spine at the base, I would recommend both belts, it’s just a simple matter of what you need them for, for l4/l5 and general support in that area I would recommend the plus, for a weak back scoliosis or support for lifting weights go for the standard version, they are both easy to use, high quality and are breathable and slimline so they fit under your clothes or you can wear them over, either way I recommend MediBrace Back Brace, they even do a heated version which I imagine soothes your back due to the heat I’ve tried a hot water bottle on mine and it makes a big difference, so maybe a heated version with the gel pad would be a worthy addition to the line up. Oh and by the way on the makers website you can extend the 30 day Amazon guarantee to a year for the standard version and two years for the plus so no matter where you buy it from you are covered. Very pleased with my purchase of the plus version.

I've tried many heated back supports for my chronic back problems and this is very good. Very comfortable and supportive to wear and the heat is decent when you adjust the velcro straps properly. I've only ever used it on the highest setting. The rechargeable battery is built in and cannot be removed. You can however power it via the female usbc connector and it will heat and charge. I've found this useful when in a car as it can be powered from a car cigar lighter adapter if you purchase the car adapter separately. The belt comes with a separate cable and a UK mains plug adapter with 2 usb ports for charging and or heating if you're sitting near a power socket. You can also charge and heat the same way with an external power bank bought separately. The heating cycle auto powers off after 30mins and I think I read somewhere that the fully charged internal battery will provide 4 periods of 30 mins on high setting. There isn't any pouch on it to hold an external power bank but I've tucked one inside the belt or put in pocket if the cable will reach. I've only given 4 stars as I think this item is expensive. I couldn't find some of this information when I was considering the purchase so I hope this info helps. I'm glad I bought it even at the price.

This product arrived in an open clear ziplock bag, which I didn’t really like. I would prefer a concealed sealed shipping container. However, saying that, the product is *amazing*. The quality is very good, it seems well made, it’s very comfortable to wear and so adjustable. I think it’s pretty true to size. The material is nice, not itchy at all and it seems to be padded well. The comfort and relief wearing the brace is immediate. You don’t realise how much pressure you’re carrying around until you put it on and take it off. I’ve already had a couple people stop me and ask where I’ve got it, and I highly recommend anyone struggling from spinal/back issues to consider getting one. The value for money is so worth it.

I have suffered for a lot of years with back pain daily. I could not believe the difference this has made to me, even walking and throwing sticks for my German Shepherd is so much better. The only down side is that you sweat where the MEDIBrace fits, but it is definitely worth it. I would highly recommend.

I give this 3 stars based on my own personal needs. It’s important to remember, anyone who writes a review and gives it 1 star is saying it’s pants in their opinion. Someone with 5 star reviews obviously helps out in a big way. So my 3 stars are based on my own personal experience. I had purchased a similar belt a couple of years prior and I ordered a large. I am not thin and I have a 34 inch waste and unfortunately it was to small but I made it work. For my particular needs, I needed a support for my lower back due to living with chronic back pain after I had a AxiLif in 2009 that went wrong leaving me unable to ever work again. So my needs are greater and so I needed something to support my lower back. I had spent years trying to find anything that helped but everything failed, along with 10 yrs going through the NHS again trying to figure out how I managed to be in a worse situation than pre op. Regardless, I was having a really hard time of it last weekend, the pain was horrendous and I started looking for something to help when I saw the advert for this MediBelt. The big selling point for me is the heated points on the belt. For whatever reason, when I was having a bad spell with the pain, I would either put the heated blanket on full or use one of those heated pads you can buy and it did tend to ease the pain. So I read the reviews before buying the belt and most said it was very good. Having not worked since that op in 2009 and having to live off disability benefits ever since the cash is tight. So at close to £60 is isn’t the cheapest BUT it was cheaper on Amazon than other places I looked. So that’s a positive. I said the large was not a great fit so I went with the XL this time and despite being emailed to say the delivery would be like 3 week in the middle of May, it arrived in just 3 days after I purchased and I opted for free delivery, so that’s a saving of £5 It’s nicely boxed but sadly no instructions. I did Google the belt and managed to find the instructions which was helpful because when I first open the box and pressed the little button for the heat to come up it didn’t come on at all. Also, the belt was XL but it wasn’t that much bigger than the Large, so keep that in mind and I am still a 34 inch waist. It will not matter if it wraps around you more with the added extra length, so I would suggest a couple of sizes up from your usual. I read the instructions from Google and you needed to keep the button pressed for 3 second's. It also has 3 settings for the level of heat and this can be changed by just pressing the button once, when it’s already on. It’s also got a safety feature that automatically shuts down the heat after 30 minutes. For me personally, I need it longer than 30 minutes so it can be a pain (no pun intended) to reset it because if it’s on it’s because I need it on but I get the reasoning. Sadly for me and I did read this 1 star review that said the charge only lasted x2 30 hours. The reason I bought it was because I thought 30 hours was reasonable for the heat to be on anyway. I now know it should have said x2 30 minutes. The battery was totally flat when I first charged up my belt which took about 5 hours and I had the belt on with the heat on max for about 6 times before it needed recharging. For me, that’s not really any good for me. On a bad day pain wise I could use that in just 3 hours before it needed charging again and you can’t really charge it while wearing the belt. But I understand of course. It’s only a little device about 1.5 inches square so the battery must be small, so to give off that power for such a small battery is impressive, it’s just I need a bigger battery that will go longer without the need to charge it so often. That’s basically the reason for the 3 out of 5 stars for me. The belt is great but the size you think you need isn’t the correct size and I suggest go for 2 sizes bigger than you need and the amount of cycles before it needs a recharge is around 6 and I made sure it was fully charged that first time. At present and bear in mind it’s only been a week I’ve had the belt, I think it’s made a difference but only because of the high heat it gives off. So at least it does work and it’s really a good support for the lower back. These are my own words and I was not offered anything in return for this feedback. Plaza

The quality of this belt is amazing! I bought it for my mother, who has lower back problems, and it seems to be helping by keeping her back in a straighter, more supported position. It's very easy to put on and adjust thanks to the detachable fastening straps. Despite the metal support, it's comfortable to wear and doesn't dig into the bones like some other back braces do. It is a little bulky under fitted clothing, but that's to be expected from a support belt of this type. Overall, it's well made, comfortable, and offers excellent value for money.

Instant relief, great support for lower back pain due to poor posture, for£20 I wish I’d thought about it sooner!

Tallas muy pequeñas

Este articulo lo adquirí para mi padre que tiene constantes ataques de ciática, yo igual pero estoy ya con mas metal en el cuerpo que robocop, Bueno, nos ha sorprendido muy gratamente la calidad de los materiales, el velcro, las costuras y el agarre que tiene , mi padre en cuanto se la ha puesto le ha cambiado la cara , se mantiene en su sitio y no se da de si, compramos la 3xl ya qu el mide 1.96 y a pesar de estar en forma su circunferencia de cintura en amplia, parece que hemos acertado a la primera , se siente recogido , cómodo y ante todo que el prododucto cumple con su trabajo, con calidad, buena confección y muy buenas sensaciones, muy recomendable . Algo parecido , y digo parecido porque me refiero a algo mucho mas básico, en la ortopedia no bajaba de 90 euros. Y me quedo con esta sin dudarlo, os lo recomiendo, y el vendedor muy pendiente de si nos había llegado o no porque era urgente , todo de 10
