Sparthos Back Brace for Lower Back Pain - Immediate Relief from Sciatica, Herniated Disc, Scoliosis - Breathable + Lumbar Support Pad - For Men & Women - Fits 31–38″ Waist (Small, Check Size Chart)

Works very well. I have spinal stenosis problems ever since I was a kid and this helps tremendously when I’m working. Fits great just make sure you order the right size look at the chart. Not very bulky at all can definitely wear underneath a shirt or jacket and it not be noticeable. Personally I like the color and also I really like how there is no extra steps to it. You don’t have to pump up the bags in it because there is no bags. Makes a huge difference that way and in my posture especially when I’m running equipment I feel it straighten out my spine and helps me to sit and stand without doing any slouching that just makes the pain worse so I like that a lot. As far as durability it’s one of the best back braces I’ve ever bought even after all the wear and tear and time I’ve had it it still feels good and hasn’t gotten tore up or bent out of shape. As far as stretchiness it’s good but make sure and look at the size chart because you want it to fit right and actually feel good when you wear it.

I have had this brace for a year and it takes me from walking with a cane to walking like a normal person. I have spinal stenosis, spinal osteoarthritis and bone spurs. It's sturdy, it's thick, great stretchiness and it stays in place. It is a bit bulky but I think it has to be to give the support needed. Because of the way it's made you can get the exact fit you want. I wear mine snug because it gives me the best support. The only con is that the Velcro is so strong you have to pull hard to get it undone. I have a physical job and this is an absolute game changer but I also wear it around the house, to go shopping, gardening, etc. I wear it at least 8 to 10 hours a day and my back feels great. It also feels great to take it off at the end of the day. I typically won't have back pain until I wake up the next morning and I put it right back on. This has been a game changer for me.

Very sturdy and good support. Just not as wide as it looks in the picture. I measured and it’s 11 inches wide in the front causing a wasp waist effect. Velcro is amazing not so soft but I think it will soften with time. Good for my back, not so much for my flank hernia. It just doesn’t support as much of my back as I’d like. I wore it for 2 hours and had to switch back to my “old reliable.” Then I ordered another “old reliable.” I may keep this one as an emergency backup.

Pretty good so far. Medium support at a good price and it’s helping take some load off my back pain. It’s Important to take load off a hurting back, and rehab it too. That’s what this is for, a tool to reduce load so the back can heal. Fit measurements worked too. Small for a lean fitter build. I used a string to wrap around waist the measure it after

I've never used or bought a back support belt before. I had no idea which one to buy. I looked through many reviews on Amazon before deciding upon this one and I'm happy with my purchase. I like it for these reasons: 1. It is adjustable and fits me very well. I really like that there is a double layer of adjustable straps, that really helps me find the fit that feels "just right" for me. I ordered a size small and it's perfect for me. I'm 5'7", 133 pounds, with a 31" waist. I included pictures because I always find them helpful and to show that the belt isn't noticeable under clothing, it's even fine under the t-shirt (which is fitted). The dress I'm wearing in the picture is also a small and the belt fit fine underneath. I had thought about buying the Mueller 255 belt because it was a little cheaper but I felt concerned that I might not get as accurate of a fit since the waist range was so much larger. The reviews were also slightly less positive. I'm glad I went with this one instead. 2. The adjustable lumbar pad really makes a difference for me. I tried the belt on without it and my back pain was still noticeable. But with the lumbar pad and adjusting the belt, my back feels so much better! The relief from the pain is well worth the purchase. 3. The belt is well made and very supportive. The structure is just firm enough to offer strong core support without being restrictive. My plan is to wear this belt occasionally, while walking and driving. I tend to have the most problems while driving. I wore it while on a long walk today and it did get warm/a little sweaty. Not super uncomfortable or surprising considering the weather and distance, but something that may be a bigger issue for some. It does not bother me much. The support is more important to me. Another consideration is that it's possible to move and bend with the brace (especially depending upon how tight you adjust it), but if that's the main purpose there might be other options that are more flexible (but may offer less support, I'm not sure). Other items from Amazon that I bought to help my back: * Cushion supports for my car seat (which have helped a lot). One is a wedge shaped cushion to sit on (my seat is slanted oddly and I wanted it to be more even so the wedge cushion made by Clever Yellow works well, and is available on Amazon). The other is a cushion to support my lumbar region, also available on Amazon: "Memory Foam Back Support Cushion - Designed for Back Pain Relief - Lumbar Pillow With Premium Adjustable Strap - Hypoallergenic Ventilative Mesh - Alleviates Lower Back Pain made by Xtreme Comforts." I liked it because it has a convex (rather than concave) shape... most lumbar support cushions seem to be concave and that tends to irritate my back. It was one of the only convex cushions and I love it! It's taller than most, very thick, has a removable cover, and really supports the length of my back. It does push me forward a bit, which I like in my car (I just put my seat back), but that may not be comfortable on a traditional, rolling office chair. I'm going to review both of the cushions on their pages as well. I tried another lumbar cushion by NurtureSoft but it was more concave shaped than I thought it would be and didn't work for me. * The book Freedom from Pain by Peter Levine. I can't write much about this one yet, as I just received it today, but I'm looking forward to reading it. I've been doing Trauma/Tension Release Exercises (TRE) multiple times a day and they have really really helped me (along with gradually increasing the distance of my walks), so I'm optimistic about learning about other exercises in the book! * Also planning on buying insoles and new shoes, as well as do Network Spinal Analysis at the chiropractor (a very gentle approach ... traditional chiropractor tends to trigger my body and make the bracing worse). I'm hoping the chiropractor might be able to suggest insoles/shoes and posture-correction apparel as well. A month ago I was unable to move because of my back pain. It's gotten much better and I have Faith it will continue to do so! Grateful for these supportive products to help me function better along the way!! If you're reading this and in pain you're in my heart and prayers. Hope you feel better soon!!! :)

I have spinal stenosis and my lower back gets very tired and weak when I do chores around the house and yard. It also gets weak when I take walks or other activity. This support belt is very comfortable and gives support that is adjustable using the Velcro that lines the belt. I put it on over my clothes and make it fit snug.. It’s very sturdy and well made. It’s very good value for the money. Make sure you purchase the correct size. I’m 5’ and weigh 115; I purchased Small and it fits well. I’m very pleased with the choice I made after looking at others.

Hurt my back doing some heavy lifting. This brace gave me real relief and lower back support. I am 5'9", 168 lbs, 40" waist. I ordered size Medium and it fits well and stays in place. The brace has an inner belt and an outer belt. At first I was confused about how to wrap the two around my waist but after going to the website listed on the package I figured it out. You can adjust the belts to fit your own comfort level. There is also a lot of other good information about back problems on the website. I would recommend it.

Very sturdy product that helps my mom with her back problems. Good price, the size is exactly as described. According to the measurement chart on the web page from the company she is extra small, and the extra small fits her perfectly!

Provides excellent for the back

I previously ordered this product from a different supplier and got a different brand, then I reordered from Sparthos themselves using this link and got what I ordered, and after using it for a short time I felt some relief from my disc problem, so I highly recommend getting this product l, just make sure to get it from Sparthos themselves.

I got this for my mom who has spinal stenosis, and it’s been really helpful for her. She noticed a difference pretty quickly — it gives her the support she needs and helps reduce discomfort when she’s up and moving around. It’s made daily activities a lot more manageable for her. It’s easy to put on, adjustable, and doesn’t feel overly bulky or restrictive. What we liked: ✔️ Good support and stability ✔️ Helps reduce back pain ✔️ Comfortable to wear ✔️ Easy to adjust It’s not a miracle fix, but it definitely makes a noticeable difference and gives her more comfort throughout the day. **Definitely recommend for anyone needing extra back support.
