Is this product good for sciatica and hip discomfort?

I find it very useful in this respect. This wonderful contraption can be positioned to reach trigger points on most parts of the body. With practice, you will enjoy great relief. Good luck and feel better.

I bought this for my friend and she loves it. I have the Theracane, which is very similar, and I have the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Claire Davies, which I bought here on Amazon, and I use that as my guide as to which muscles to apply pressure to. I have neck and upper back problems and it helps immensely. Hope this helps you.

Perhaps your sciatica is caused by tight hip flexor muscles. I would definitely try it. BBB along with some good stretching might fix you up.

I am not a specialist but do know anatomy and physiology. I use it for release of tight muscles. Hip and sciatica represent a mechanical problem. I would youtube using one of these or ask a physical therapist for specific target areas for your condition. I love it but you have to know what you are doing.

I don't have that problem so I couldn't tell you on that. But it does give me relief to my lower back. You can always try one at stores that have them displayed or a friend that has one. But I would check with your Dr before you do it to be sure it is ok with your back problem

I guess it varies for everybody; but overall I like this product. I use it for diabetic neuropathy and osteo arthritis; so I will never be pain free (unless God steps in and performs a miracle). For me, when I gently rub in the oil into my feet and toes it provides instant pain relief for about 15 minutes which is great for me and it gives me an edge to deal with my pain. My pain then comes back but at a diminished level. I have only been using the product for about three weeks and will be reordering when I run out.

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.

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.

Yes if you have wide hips. You hang off the sides and it is uncomfortable to sit long periods on it though it does help the tailbone. It's just annoying, sort of like sitting in a chair that is too small.

This should work on reducing almost any kind of pain. The cause of the pain, in my case was an injury from a ruptured disc and subsequent surgery. In your case, exercising and better sitting posture should help as well. Using the exercise and the Omron application should help tremendously. I would not use it in place of changing your habits, driving/sitting posture.

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

I am not qualified to respond specifically about TPT but I can say that I personally find the product to be very stiff and able to give a deep massage in the areas of my back that I use it upon.

Bought this for my husband and when he wears it he has no shoulder and upper back pain, but I don't think he had any relief from lower back and hip pain. He was so happy with the results of the shirt, though, I bought him the shorts and he says those do relieve hip and lower back pain for him.

I haven't use it for joint and muscle pain. I purchased the product for hair loss, great product for that matter!

I don't think it would work well for the hip , you'd be better off with a std flat gel instead

yeah, guess it does say that -- actually I'd not buy this product if you are looking for a cushion to compensate for posture -- it has 8 pads that provide several levels and modes of vibration -- also heat. I use the vibration functions to assist my really skrewed-up lumbar and it provides considerable relief, quickly, and with some lasting effect. pads at back of thigh (hamstrings') and mid back at base of trapezius and bottom of shoulder blades provides a lot of relief -- but that's MY back. If you're getting chronic issues because of posture or upper-body mass distribution I'd probably look for a different product.

It does indeed.. as another said in this thread - it's not a one and done but a series of use each week (5 minutes, 4 days). My wife and I had (past tense) Sciatica troubles and this has relieved it. I would recommend its use.

I believe it will aid in comfort for your hip. My mother-in-law has her right hip hurting even tho it is her tailbone that was cracked. This is her third day with the pillow and she has found it to be her new friend. She was able to cut back on her pain pills and sit comfortably.
