Does it help with low back pain?

no! it might if it were more supportive also if you got to p or anything there is no slot for that you have to drop your shorts which gets some strange look's in the men's room.. there are other brands less renowned, but are just as good. support under wear has a ways to go and I wish they would work with people that have pain. I dont know about riding horses and all back hurts to much for that I am saving my self for a nice lady, that hopefully doesn't look like a horse lol..

It seems to help what ever places it touches. I have a bad back, but it does not act like most bad backs. I bought it for my shoulder, but my back doesn't bother me when I have it on. Can't say what it will do for someone else.

I bought this shirt for my dad who has a lot of arthritis in his lower back. He wears his 24/7 & says it helps him feel & move better. He ended up buying 2 more so he never goes without wearing it. Hope this helps answer your question

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.

Well somewhat, I think it is mostly for back pain, somehow the magnets in it do work

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

The pain doctor recommended it for my husbands back. It was originally made for horses strains. My husband says it works like a charm!

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

Oh definitely. I love this thing! Relieves my lower back pain and I sleep better with my legs raised.

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.

Yes it will help. Another thing that will help is a memory foam topper for your bed if you do not already have one. Any movement, no matter how gentle, will help too. Stand in place and do your version of the hula, forexample. Warm baths (15 minutes each) with a cup of epsom salts and 1/2 of baking soda mixed in will also help. Anything that stimulates the blood flow to you lower back is a big help. I have a machine, called "Back To Life" that I use and it's amazing how good my back feels after using it. Hope I've helped.

It eases pain. Mine is in my rear end caused by arthritis pressing on my sciatic nerve trunks. I roll it on and get relief.

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

It's worth a try! Also, I've read that people with low back pain have weaker multifidus muscles, so I'd try an exercise for that too. Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis is one resource I've heard about. Hope this helps!

I guess it may, depending on what is causing your numbness to begin with. The idea is it takes pressure off your spine/tailbone. It might be worth a shot. It has given me relief for pain that radiates down my leg do to a protruding disc.

I bought this for my lower back pain. It works wonderfully for me. I had pain to the point I couldn't walk from one room to another in my house without pain. Now I can walk down my street and back easy.

There's no research that shows taping your back relieves pain, but it won't hurt to try it. I'd suggest strengthening your multifidus muscles that have been shown to be weak in people with low back pain - Jim Johnson's stenosis book has some ex's for this. Hope this helps!

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.

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

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.
