Copper Fit X-Back Brace for Lower Back Pain, Lumbar Support, Herniated Disc, Sciatica, Arthritis – Adjustable, Breathable Design - for Men and Women (Large/XLarge)

I have a mixture of compressed and bulging discs from L1- S1 and a hemangioma on L2, and I spent an entire day barely able to stand upright and walk. I purchased this brace, looking for instant relief after another flare-up of lower back pain from daily living. I ordered this brace on day 2 of the episode and received it on day 3. I had been using my tens unit, doing what stretches I could handle, walking around the house, and resting to work through the issues as normal. By the time I received the brace, I was still very tender, tight, and sore. I immediately put it to use. It wasn't a miracle, but it did provide much-needed relief! I felt relief instantly in the upper glutes and was able to stand without feeling unstable. I've been wearing it for 3 days, on and off throughout the day, and I'm pleased enough with it to have purchased a second one to make sure I have one with me at all times. I'm 5ft 8in tall and weigh 149 lbs, and I purchased the SM/MD This fits well and adjusts comfortably. I have been wearing this while walking around, sitting, reclining, and standing. The lumbar plate is solid and sturdy, so make sure it is centered on your spine before the final adjustment. Do not fudge your size! Purchase too small, and this may not be comfortable; purchase too big, and you won't get the support you need.

I really can not describe how great this item is... I am 38 years old 5'11 270 pounds, I have a herniated disk and my 5th lumbar is off. I could barley sleep after Cleaning my mother's 1 bed apt, and I could rest and sit as long as I needed.. I have now gotten a job as a mechanic AND ALL day I'm changing tires,oils changes etc.. With this back brace on, I have 0 percent the pain I did just cleaning my mother's apt. With way more physical work involved 100times more. Now occasionally I get the siatic nerve pain in the right or left buttocks. But it doesn't last very long. I can not believe, how this works. It's literally like I have a repaired back during the time I wear this. Mind you I have a big belly as well, and the 'XL' size fits perfect in case some one with my height and or similar weight is wondering how this will work or sizing. The 2xl was to big, I had to sent it back, but I had both sizes to try on. And the XL is perfect for my height and weight. Best back brace I've ever tried on. O ya I've been working 10 hour days 2 days straight since this post. 0 back pain!

Back brace works well. Supports the back & sides great. Definitely recommend

I consider Copper Fit products to be excellent products made with quality materials. This brace is no exception. It is well made and provides excellent support. However, I suffer from sciatica and epicenter of my pain is very low on my back and to my left side, This brace tends to ride up more around the waist and does not provide support where I need it. Also, it has a copper plate that fits in a pocket over the small of the back. This makes the brace uncomfortable while sitting down as it digs into the back. This plate is removable. I plan to order another brace that is designed to provide support lower on the back and around the hip. I will keep this brace for possible future need.

Ordered for support of a simple compresssion fracture of a single low thoracic vertebra when sitting around the house. Much easier to adjust than full thoracic brace. Very comfortable & supportive in the right area of the spine.

Fits well. Comfortable. Helps with back pain

Provides great support when standing or moving about. I didn't find it as beneficial when sitting, perhaps a little to much support, at least that's my experience. Glad I bought it.

This backbrace has helped me significantly ,but the velcro is cotinuely pulling loose after only a few weeks. I have to constantly reattach them. That is the reason I only gave it a four rating.
