Sparthos Back Brace for Lower Back Pain - Immediate Relief from Sciatica, Herniated Disc, Scoliosis - Breathable Design With Lumbar Support Pad - For Home & Lifting At Work - For Men & Women -

After using a 'back corrector' with shoulder straps which cut into my husband's shoulders and my breast area and were returned, I went with 2 of these basic back braces, and they work wonderfully well! My husband has multiple back issues, and I have a swayback and also fell and had a minor fracture on T12 vertabrae and should wear a brace. This brace is easy to use, fits well, gives great spinal stability, helps both of us with posture, and we can wear this brace either over or under clothes. It's usually an all day wear for both of us, and though it gets kind of tiresome to wear a brace all day long, (we take short breaks from it), it's worth it in every way. We're seniors with osteoporosis, and my husband has scoliosis and kyphosis, so the difference in both his posture and pain relief are amazing. For me, I have a sway back due to a transitional vertabrae in my lumbar/sacral area, and this gives SO much spinal support that I'm wondering why no doctor ever suggested this sooner. The brace is also a must right now so that the T12 vertabrae will heal, and I do have good pain relief from the brace. At any rate, the brace gets a full 5 stars from both of us! Good value for the cost and true to size.

Comfortable and supportive. Very happy with this back brace

The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 star is because the measurement chart seems wrong. I measured myself and ordered according to the chart. But when the brace arrived - I was borderline on returning it and ordering one size larger. But the belt has been very beneficial to my back surgery pain and healing.

I read a few reviews that said they had a great reduction of lumbar pain...I didn't. I do find that it offers good support for poor posture which I have from being hunched over so much with lumbar pain. In the end I would suspect that with regular wearing, improved posture will result in a reduction of pain to a degree - so I'm going to give it a go. My physiotherapist gave it a thumbs up and some suggestions for wearing it to be more effective. You might be tempted to tighten it too much, you should be able to get two sideways fingers in between the brace and your body. Make sure it's low enough to support the LL and sciatic region. Try it against skin or with a light shirt to see which feels better.

Very pleased with this purchase. It gives that added support when ever I’m not having the best days with my back . I tend to experience occasional and severe back pain that comes without warning, having this had been a huge help. It is quite sturdy and easily adjustable for support.
