Decompression Back Belt Spinal Air Traction Belt for Lumbar Support and Lower Back Pain, Back Support & Lumbar Traction Belt, Navy Blue(29-49 inch Waists)

This brace inflates and expands up and down. It sort of sits between your hips and rib cage. It does expand a little bit inward, but more so up and down. It is meant to expand your vertebrae like an inversion table would. It's not perfect. I find it offers some nice relief...up to the point where I can't take it any more and I take it off. It can be intense. It can push against your diaphragm. It's difficult to sleep with. Those things don't have anything to do with this particular brand. I've found the quality of this brand to be really good. No problems in about 6 months so far. I feel like it wouldn't last if I abused it, so I treat it pretty gently.

My husband has been wearing this now for approximately 10 days and swears by it. He's been a builder/contractor for 45+ years and as you can imagine has had his share of bumps and bruises not to mention chronic back pain from years of bending and lifting heavy items. He received the belt a day early and just in time for a major concrete driveway pour the following day. Usually after such an undertaking he's down for the count and/or laid up for a couple days with trips to the chiropractor due to severe back pain. His recovery can last several weeks. But he wore the belt all day and although tired from a hard day of work, his back was fine and he said he experienced no pain at all with no trips to the chiropractor. He wears it every day now and says it's very comfortable and easy to use. We're sold and HIGHLY RECOMMEND this belt to anyone seeking back pain relief. When needed will definitely purchase again.

Nothing to dislike, simple to use and it does provide relief. I had used it to the point that I don't need it very much. I have a very sister-like close friend with scoliosis (sc), who has pain in her back and hips every day. Last weekend, I got her to try it and she had almost instant relief in her lower back AND hips. I don't know who was more thrilled! This woman has lived with daily pain all her life. I left the brace with her to use as long as she wants to. If she gets constant relief when using it, and if I need one again, I will order another one. Good price, great product.

Due to a condition of a pinched nerve in the lumbar region, my physiotherapist suggested some form of back support. This air traction belt was purchased to provide pain relief and, to its credit, it does perform well if it can be inflated. However, the pump that comes with the belt came apart after one month of use. I tried to reassemble the pump, but it now leaks when attempting to inflate the belt. I had contacted the seller via the Amazon app, asking for a replacement pump. Other than an acknowledgement from Amazon I have not heard from the seller.Since there is no other method of inflation except for the pump that comes with the belt since the connection to the belt is unique and cannot it cannot be used with a bicycle pump, the product is worthless. This could all be mitigated with some form of operational customer service on the part of the seller.

I have 4 bulging discs and a lot of pain. My spine is compressed, and I have degeneration big time. Part of my treatment plan is decompression (traction) at my doctor's. The table they use is EXPENSIVE to buy for myself. This is a great alternative. It does NOT stretch me as much as the table at my docs- it is NOT a replacement for that more intensive treatment. But it is excellent for a more gentle separation of my vertebrae. It's comfortable, easy to use, and when I'm wearing it, my pain is lessened a great deal. I've only been using it for a few days, so cannot speak to long term benefits, but so far I am VERY pleased and feel that this was a great value for the benefits I'm receiving.It came packaged nicely in a box with simple instructions. Quality of product seems high to me- sturdy and solid construction.It comes with a panel that allows you to extend the length of the belt. I am a large woman- 275 pounds with a 48" waist. This fits very comfortably, with a few inches to spare. And because it is adjustable, I'm confident it would work just as well for smaller people.This is a life saver for me!

I REALLY LIKED THIS PRODUCT WHEN I FIRST GOT IT. HELD MY BACK IN PLACE DURING THE DAY, EVEN ON THE GOLF COURSE. HOWEVER, IN JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS IT WILL HOLD PRESSURE, NOT IT JUST SITS ON MY SHELF IN MY CLOSET.

I had been watching the infomercials on tv and I wanted to try this type of device. I have been using an inversion table for many years and it makes my back feel better and I was only using it a few times a month or after some strenuous activity. I have no problems with the inversion table but I can feel it in my ankles and knees. That's the main reason I decided to try this device. I don't know anything about the belt I see on TV but this device does the job my inversion table did without the wear and tear on my joints. The first time I put it on it made me feel so good I thought maybe it was my imagination just wanting to feel better. I've been wearing it since and my back pain is almost gone. I wear it when I am standing and or walking. It is slightly uncomfortable when I sit so I remove it while sitting. It holds pressure with no leaks. Easy to pump up and discharge the air. My wife tried using it and now we take turns using it until my second belt arrives in a few days. Now I think I will fold my inversion table up and put it in the closet. This worked out great also because I was looking for something I can use when I travel. I would recommend this for anyone. Great job on the belt and thanks.

The expansion does not provide any real stretching as it slides up the skin or clothes. Inflation is wholly inadequate as it can’t be made tight enough to provide any real support. There is a reason it is marked as a frequently returned item.
