do these help with lower back pain

Hi Peter, I haven't noticed a reduction in back pain. However, I don't have back pain at the moment. I bought these because my calves are not handling my new running regimen. They work great for that.

I couldn't say, as I didn't start with back pain, so I don't know if it would reduce it

Can't say. I do yoga and pilates to keep my lower back stable. Haven't noticed any effect with the sleeves.

The Osteo Bi-Flex is advertised as helpful for joint discomfort. That is why I take it - and it REALLY helps. I have arthritis in my knees, hips and other places. As far as relieving back pain, I really cannot say. I have chronic back pain and I take pain pills, use heat, etc. for that, so I really don't think the Osteo-Bi-Flex helps with back pain. I DO notice the difference in my knees and other joints if I don't take the Osteo-Bi-Flex on a regular basis. Hope this answers your question.

A sore back can be related to a weak mid section. But also to other factors such a overwork, bad lifting technique or disc issues. Consult your doctor and if its a core issue... Yes, this product will strengthen your core and subsequently help or relieve your back strains.

They can hurt but since I'm not doctor I can't say for sure that they will help. Try them and see for yourself if they help. They are good for carpal tunnel.

I would say yes, no and maybe on this one. It depends on the level of inflammation.If it is in an acute stage, using them could cause more discomfort, even though they might be useful to release some of the tension in the connection tissue. Certainly they are useful to keep the feet flexible and open, so they could be considered proactive. And as the inflammation and contraction release, they will be useful to massage the entire area really effectively.

I bought this for my lower back problem causing Sciatica pains, difficult to move and sleep side ways. I was hoping this pillow will help in my condition. However, it does not have much to do in helping the back problem. In your case with neck and brain injury, that would be different story. I do not have same experience to guide you if it would be helpful to you or not. So, sorry.

it does help, but I also stretch everyday, so I think stretching and the pillow helps with my sciatic pain.

I have been using a roller similar to this for the last 2 years and it strengthened my core muscles so much that my back issues rarely happen now. I'm 49 years old and had a bought of sciatica as well as back spasms and these roller wheels really help.

I used for metatarsalgia and they helped. I would "guess" they would help you as well.

I only use this for my neck in general. Your lower back is really not affected by this at all. For lower back pain I use a lower lumbar stretcher, like a pillow placed in the small of your back and lay on the floor. Yoga is what really helps the lower back.

Yes make certain the weight is down at your lower back. Don't try to fight it. It helps you sit up straight without thinking about it.It relieves back pain from sitting at the desk for hours.

Yes, you can, in my experience it either helps patients right away or does nothing. Also, since research is showing that people with back pain have weak multifidus muscles, check out Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis for a few exercises to help that.

because i've never had a problem with my hips aching, i couldn't say if this this product would help you in that area. i purchased this product for lower back/lumbar support and it does help me in that area.

When I attached these I didn't press them down where my spine is...I let them lay on the skin on either side. It seemed to do all right that way. Hope they work for you.

I have used mine for years . and use as needed. I also use my inversion table , . they due stretch your back, but not the same way . so it may help, but it may not! That depends on what your goal is . Good Luck !

It might, but the purpose for this lumbar pillow is to give support to your lower back. If you have achinghips, you might want to go to a ''Soft Touch'' Technique Chiropractor. Soak in some Epson salt, and rinse off afterwards. Call around to a Chiropractor in your area, and ask if they do that type of Modality/Technique in their practice, if they don't ask them if they know of one. Hope this helps. Truthful

I honestly can't answer your question if this cushion will help your back and hip pain. It has helped me, especially in the car. I've bought several of this style of cushion. Bed, Bath, and Beyond has one in the store that I bought because I had to have it that day. It works but is not as thick as this one and therefore doesn't provide as much cushion.
