GINEKOODecompression Belt - Inflatable Spinal Traction Brace for Lumbar Support and Lower Back Pain, Back Reliever for Men and Women, Navy Blue (29-49 Inch Waist)

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.

Does what it is supposed to at a good price.

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.

This product worked great to relieve my lower back pain but it failed after 2 months. It blew out while I was just sitting. It sounded like a gun shot. It will no longer inflate so it is useless now.

It really helped my back feel better. The support is awesome.

Mess up if you have any problems with your back any problems with your leg or the midsection of your back, this item will work wonders for you. It supports anyone who is sitting down for a number of hours eight and up. I know it’s working very well for my husband. He’s moving around like he used to so I definitely do recommend this product, you can wait your shirt over this product or you can go ahead and show people what you wearing because they may come up to you and say hey what you get that from say Amazon

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.
