BeActive Plus Acupressure System - Sciatica Pain Relief Brace For Sciatic Nerve Pain, Lower Back, & Hip - Be Active Plus Knee Brace With Pressure Pad Targeted Compression For Sciatica Relief - Unisex

Order received next day. Instructions are clear and straight forward. The first time I put it on my pain was lessened in 15 minutes. Made movement much easier.

Easy to use and offers some lower back pain relief

A very beneficial device to control sciatic nerve pain.

The braces worked to relieve my sciatic pain. However, they should be offered in smaller sizes. My legs are probably typical in size but the the velcro pads dont align when wearing the braces. The velcro reaches beyond the pad such that velcro aligns with the brace material. After months of wear, the velcro doesnt keep the brace tight, and Im losing the benefit of the brace.

I was skeptical -- but I was also desperate and in agonizing pain. This thing cut the pain off by 85-90%. I can hardly believe the difference it made! Seven hours ago I was I was on the floor (because I couldnt stand or bear weight on my left leg from a pinched sciatic nerve. Ive been in pain for two weeks, cant start PT until June 1 because of an insurance issue. I couldnt bear the thought of another 11 days of this. Ive seen the ads and videos for BeActive, but thought it cant be for real. I was nearly out of my mind with the pain last night and this morning and would have tried anything to get some relief. I placed the order around 11 AM, hoping it could be delivered tomorrow, but at check out there was an option for $3 to have it delivered between 2-6 PM today. I rarely ever do same day delivery, but this was the best 3 bucks ever spent! It arrived around 2:30 PM, had it on my leg, made a few adjustments ... by 3 PM the roaring white hot pain shooting from butt cheek down the back of my leg to my heel was gone! Unbelievable! I could stand -- I could walk -- I could sit down and get up without screaming. I left it on for about 2 hours, then took it off to see what would happen. the pain gradually came back and about 45 minutes later, it was back on my leg ... and the pain is gone again. Its not a cure, I realize Ill still need PT to relieve the compression on the nerve, but it sure relieves the pain until the underlying issue is addressed. Again, its not gone 100%, I can still feel pressure on the nerve, but it feels more like a pulled muscle or a spasm rather than a bolt of lightening shooting down my back and leg. So to be specific ... on the fit and adjustment strap I give it an A+. Very easy to put on and take off. Its lightweight and relatively comfortable on my leg. The only comfort issue Ive encountered so far is that the top edge rubs the inner back of my knee a bit when sitting but I can live with that, so A- on that one. I read other reviewers complain about the disc causing burns or irritation, so I put a 2 x 2 gauze pad between the hard disc and my skin and Ive had no problem in that regard. So overall, it gets an A and 5 stars from me. I think this is the first time Ive ever written a review the same day I received a product. But I was so blown away -- and incredibly thankful!!! -- for how well and quickly this wrap worked. I will post an update in a day or two, just in case any issues come up. But if youre having sciatic nerve pain, dont suffer as long as I did -- GIVE IT A TRY! Im so glad I did. Thank you to the folks at BeActive for the relief, and thank you Amazon for offering same day delivery.

Great product I bought as a gift for my brother and hasnt felt this good in a long time, he cant stop thanking me for improving his life and ability to walk more upright with less pain.

I am usually very leery about pain reduction products advertised on television. Both my husband and I have tried this for sciatica and I have to admit it does offer some relief

I had experienced lower back and shooting leg pain and was tired of taking ibuprofen. Started using this brace and I have found some relief. Not perfect but is helping. Why not? Better than being operated on!

I expect the brace is good but I didnt need it.

So I had great hope for this support and when it arrived it fit too big for my leg (one size fits all?? NOT!), I was highly disappointed and contacted the seller, see if they had any suggestions, but got no reply, I was about to return it and then upon a closer look I realized that the fix was not that difficult, I took it to a local seamstress and she added two small velcro panels for the large velcro panel that comes with the support to attach well allowing it to close with good support and stop the sliding, see picture above. I wish the manufacturer did this, probably a few cents more and it would be able to fit a more significant percentage of the population, or just offer a second version in a Smaller size. In my experience, it does not make the pain disappear but it dulls it. Good enough, every little bit of relief helps!. Good product.
