Does it help with sciatica ?

I'm not sure. I used it for inflammation like back and shoulder pain and it did a good job.

No, it will not do anything to protect lumbar discs. However, there is always the possibility that you were misdiagnosed, which is not uncommon. If you try it and it helps, then it wasn't your discs that were causing the pain in the first place.

It works great in the car. I'm not a small guy and the only issue I've had, is that, it's a little to soft and it gets squished. As for functionally it seems to get the job done. It has really helped my posture and my sciatic nerve.

Yes, it strengthens and targets the core muscles. A stronger core will help the back.

HelloThis cushion is designed to position lower back including tail bone in place and this helps sciatica ( that's back pain from pinching of a nerve between vertebra that radiate to hip,groin and leg sometimes )I got this cushion for my right hip pain and seems to be helping me so far but I just start using it so not too sure if the cushion will keep its shape and continue to help me.So I would say it may help but if you have Body Bath and Beyond or other stores that carry it, try it first to be sure.

I have tried this thing in the car and in a regular chair and I cannot feel where it does anything at all. I have "tailbone pain disorder"..... It just hurts and there is not much in the way of relief so far. Chiropractic and massage seem to be the best thing and just standing up......good luck it might be just the thing you need

I would have to say yes. I bought mine for my lower back and sometimes I have nerve problems in my knees and buttock area so I invert for a few minuets and the pain goes away. I would think that this would help you as well.

I have used it on my upper back and it has helped with back pain from time to time. Sometimes I get a pinched nerve right below my shoulder blades and rolling this up and down the length of my spine seems to help it. The nubs hurt while doing it, but the next day it feels a lot better.

Yes. If the person has issues with a tight or sore back, it is a real boon!

Yes it does help with inflammation a little. It does help with pain, it hurts when to walk.

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.

I am NOT SMALL, by any means and it works fine for me. I will say that it TAKES TIME to get used to it, but NOW I can't drive without it. It has really helped with my sciatica issue.

A lot of people say it helps their back pain but I doubt it will cure a disc problem though. You might want to try the multifidus strengthening exercises in the book Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis. Good luck!

My physical therapist requested I buy this to help retrain my spine to have a natural curve. Mine was straight and this causes pressure on my discs. For me it helps the overall spine.... upper and lower.

I have been using this on my lower back for over a year, and it helps me a lot. When I'm experiencing severe back pain, OTC meds do nothing to help it, and I will take prescription pain meds only as a last resort ... and usually not even then. This unit doesn't get rid of severe pain altogether, but the pain lessens significantly so that I'm functional and can get back to my life. If I'm experiencing moderate back pain, this unit can ease that completely.

Probably could help if you use it consistently and properly. When I first started using this it was quite painful and I can really see the difference after a few months. My chiropractor highly recommended it and I trust him.
