I have worn a variety of back belts over the years as I have 3 damaged disks. I don’t wear one every day, as most are bulky and uncomfortable under clothing. When my pain flares up tho, I do wear this belt or an earlier version of it to decrease the pain. The difference is in the magnets. Other belts support my back, but they do nothing for the pain. The magnets in this belt decrease the pain and the effects last past the time I actually wear it. I have bought 4 of these over the last ten years ( I keep one at work, one at home, one in my car, and I have loaned them out to friends in pain). The beauty of this listed belt is that Homedics has added a pocket for a gel pak (included) so that I can ice my back as I am wearing it. I have learned that icing my back is preferable to applying heat, so I don’t have the issues others have with reheating the gel pac. I also like the XL size, because it can also be worn lower to relieve my hip and sciatica pain . Great product !!

Shockingly high quality back wrap. This back wrap outshines most if not all other on the market. The wide belt gives great coverage to lumbar region. Two layers of wide and strong velcro closures keep this belt secure where placed. This can be used therapeutically or for general support. This wrap outshines most back supports designed for lifting. This product is easy to put on, easy to wear for extended period if needed, easy to conceal under clothing, easy to adjust for various levels of tightness. The ice pack pouch is easy to use and secures pouch well. This will provide support for anyone with back or abdominal hernia problems, or anyone looking for protection against them. Belt is comfortable enough to wear sitting or moving. The belt is comfortable with or without ice/heat pouch, and hold ice/heat pouch snug against the back where it is needed. Although there is some conflicting data on the usefulness of magnets in therapy, this belt is well worth the value never the less. The only draw back are that the ice/heat pouch has a recommended 4 hr freezer prep time, and has a recommendation to place in boiling water in bowl to prep for heat use. This product would be a 5+ star item if the ice/heat pouch was microwave safe and froze quicker. Highly recommended. Your money will not be wasted.

If you have back problems this wrap, with magnets, will help. I have one and have purchased one for a lady in our church, another one for my son, another one for my sister-in-law and yet another for my mother-in-law. These help my back pain and I have had only positive feedback from all that have received these wraps.

Purchased this for a friend due to her lower back issues. She wears this while sleeping and has since the first night expressed that her back pain was greatly less.

I have used this product for 4 years. The first one I bought finally wore out last month. If you suffer from stiffness in your lower back, this wrap will help.
