Sciatica is pretty miserable since it burns all the way down one's leg. I would say this helps relieve the worst of it, so you can go about your day without having to stop and rest. You won't be entirely pain free, but you will feel relief from the really sharp pains. On really bad days, I might take 3 tabs all at once, and maybe 3 more 8-10 hours later. But that's more than suggested on the label, so use your judgement.

I didn't use this for sciatica. I have neuropathy and found Nerve Support by Wellness to work much better. I guess it all depends on the individual.

I'm ordering this for a family member & saw your question. My sister suffers from sciatica every now & then. She uses arnica montana and rhus tox homeopathic remedies. They work well for her and are safe since it's not drugs or chemicals.

It is a process. i have had sciatica pain for already 26 years. This product restores your nerves and sort of neutralizes the agitated central nerve. I can notice the process. Slow but noticable.

I don't know. I am a diabetic and tried it for diabetic neuropathy. In my case, the product was somewhat effective. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful for you.

I used it for my lower back close to the tailbone area. I'm sure you can use it for the tailbone area also.

No it's meant for the back. Can't hold full body weight and would probably hurt.

It doesn't cause backache. A change in position from standing to sitting and anywhere in between is good ergonomics and promotes circulation and reduces sedentary positioning.

I weigh 220, so I overlap the BackJoy quite a bit. It still works for me, though. I think it's because the perimeter of the device supports my weight, keeping the pressure off the tailbone and the sciatic nerve. Unless your hips are very, very small it should still work for you.

Not really. It works your spine a bit when you roll out on it. I can actually get it to pop my back, but the travel roller hits the spine better since it's not nearly as wide.

Yes it can. It can support the back when it placed properly behind the back. It is soft and firm enough to support the back and neck also. This pillow is great for those whose back muscles are not strong. I use it to behind my back when I want to sit up for long periods of time while I am reading my favorite book or watching TV.

I would say no to either. It is very thick. I returned mine because It was too rough and woultd work to lay on.. It is well made and the massage is good , if you like a firm massage. I just wanted something to relax my muscles so my spine would go back into alighment. It might possibly work on a chair if you could get it to stay in place. Good luck. I am still looking for the perfect thing for my lower back. I have an old Conair mat that works great, but I have miss placed the power supply moving.

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

Yes, it would work for that. Just be sure the massage "balls" are on either side of spinal column - not directly pressing on vertebrae - might cause a problem. I've used it on shoulders, too.

Yes it does, I wouldRecomend this 100%, it's not only a matter of just stretching your back but know how to use it. Stretch your back for one min then rest for 2, then do it again 3- 4 times in a row and if you can do it 2 times a day but dont just star with one min, i would say, start with 30 sec then rest for a min and increase the time progressively untill you feel confortable. This is a great machine. Good luck

Yes. Used for about 3 mins., 4 times / day, together with McKenzie exercises, it has greatly relieved my wife's sciatica, allowing her to continue to play golf & hike. She is virtually painfree for 99% of the day. / Anthony.

Yes. I purchased this for my gf who is the same build. It is more about how you use the roller (location of use and amount of pressure you put into it). She uses the roller on a daily basis mostly for her back but I use it for quads, lats, calves, and ham string muscles.

Not sure it is designed for that but I have a bad back and these chairs are very comfortable to sit in. Not once does my back ache after sitting in them. These are my home chairs but the ones I use at work are bad on the back. I highly recommend these.

It didn't help at all as seat cushion for my sciatica problem. I tried it as a back support it didn't help at all for my back.

I don't think so - this works by finding your trigger points and applying pressure to relax muscle spasms. It's also a pretty good back scratcher.

Hi, I'm looking for one like this. I need to put one like this for my back pain. Is it good enough to cover the spine area?
