Saunders Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Support Belt, Medium (Waist: 32" - 42")

I've been wearing this for 8-9 months just above the hip creases for at least a couple hours almost daily. My low back pain is gone. The anti-slip grip is very effective and can be a little uncomfortable on bare skin after a few hours, but I guess that's the tradeoff for zero slip. A few times I felt worse after wearing this and I think this is why: sometimes when I was pulling the belt tight using the rectangular D-ring for leverage, it was pulling my SI joints apart. So now after I pull it tight, I run my thumbs under the belt from front to back along each side, like I'm letting the SI joints back together, and that takes care of it. I also had some success with placing the D-ring in the back closer to the sacrum, but I haven't had to bother with that since I've been running my thumbs under the belt from front to back. My long term plan is to strengthen my core and hip muscles a ton so the muscles will hold the SI joints together, but until then, this belt has been my solution.

I was skeptical about buying this belt. I am going through physical therapy at this type and was advised by my therapist to purchase this belt. The belt has helped me a bunch and I wear it everyday. One day I did forget to take it with me and I could tell I didn’t wear it and was in pain. Needless to say the belt works great. I think it is made very well. Good quality. I highly recommend it.

I like that it is fairly thin and undetectable under clothing. It is soft, the silicone prevents it from slipping, and the material is soft against the skin. I’m having great relief from pain due to sacroiliac instability. Im about to buy another one so I can have two. Edit - I should say that I am a woman and my husband and I share one account. So even though it says Bruce, this is Mrs Bruce. 😊

The SI belt along with a TENS unit has provided great relief. Updated 4-6-2017. My opinion of the effectiveness of this belt has not changed. I have another one I had obtained several years ago from my physical therapist and that one still works great. However, the one I purchased in January from Amazon must not be of the same quality. After using it for about a month, the cloth loop holding the metal loop must have stretched enough so that it allows the metal loop to turn on end and does not hold the belt evenly. Since I wear this belt all the time except when in bed, I wanted a second belt to wear when I am washing the other. I would still recommend this belt for its effectiveness, but I am ordering a different brand belt as a replacement that, hopefully, will hold up better.

This is the second time I have tried this belt. The first on lasted almost a month before the metal piece twisted. Once the metal piece twists, it does not stop and only gets worse. The issue with the metal piece twisting is that when it twists, you loose the compression on your joint. - meaning you loose the benefit of wearing it. With that said, this belt was a life saver! It relieved so much of my pain that I was willing to accept having to buy a new one every month, so I ordered this second one. I was so excited and relieved to have my belt back, but this one twisted after only 2 days of wearing it. It is just not reasonable to order a new $20 belt every other day. I also do not understand why the small belt is more expensive than the other sizes.

Es bueno pero la pieza de metal que engancha el cinto se mueve se voltea y lastima

I was having some issues with sciatic pain down my right leg; it didn't seem to be a back issue. My theory was an SI. I had tried heat, ice, rubs and it would help for the short term, but my symptoms continued. After three weeks I figured I should see a MD. I knew a doctors visit would probable lead to an xray, mri and PT...$$$$$ ! I bought this belt as a last resort to try. After about a week sleeping with this on, I noticed a huge difference. I was able to get a good nights rest without waking multiple times a night in pain. I was sleeping with out ice or heat for the first time in weeks. After wearing this a couple weeks to bed and my daytime symptoms were pretty much gone. I think my issue was acute sacroiliitis that flared up after increasing my evening walking distance. I decided to start wearing the belt on long walks to help prevent the problem again. The belt stays in place well with normal walking, I haven't tried in on hike or more intense walking situations yet. So far the pain hasn't returned.

Definitely provided the support he needed to continue playing the game he loves.

Cette ceinture fait une grosse différence dans ma vie pour un problème sacro illiaque. Malgré que le stabilisateur n'est pas inclus dans cet achat, cette ceinture est conçue pour rester en place sur les vêtements. J'ai testé directement sur les sous-vêtements, tel que recommandé, et cela ne tenait pas en place. J'aurais aimé une couleur moins voyante, mais le produit est efficace.

Big benefits from non medicinal aid. Easy to use, comfortable all day. I use beyond the recommended treatment length.

Seems to do the job. Good fit.

Works great for what it was designed for.

Great Product. Fast shipping!
