BEACTIVEPlus Acupressure System - Sciatica Pain Relief Brace For Sciatic Nerve Pain, Lower Back, & Hip- Knee Brace With Pressure Pad Targeted Compression - Unisex

My SIL told me this worked for her so I ended up buying it just to see, and be -darned if it didn't. I was actually shocked. I really didn't think it would work, but it worked for me too. Later, I had a friend tell me about having sciatica problems too and I bought one for her and worked for her too. We were flabbergasted to say the least. The price is reasonable, it's easy to use, it has an adjustable fit, and it's not uncomfortable. It also is well put together. I think it will last a long time. I would definitely buy it again if I had to.

This does actually work. I don't need to wear it all the time but if I feel the nerve acting up it prevents it from tuning into a full blown spasm. This is not a cure but it will manage the spasming nerves much better.

I was skeptical. How could something on my calf relieve the pain in my upper leg/buttock area? Honestly it did! It took a few minutes or so but the longer I wore it the pain started to fade. It didn't get rid of pain 100% but made it dull enough it was tolerable. I slept with it on it worked for most of the night but I think it may have shifted because around 3am pain was back. Pain does come back pretty quickly when you remove it. I was hoping for it to be gradual but for me it wasn't. I recommend buying this product if you need short-term temporary relief. It's definitely not a permanent fix. Another issue I think they should make different sizes rather than one size fits all. My calf I guess is small because the way the instructions tell you to place the strap does not align the pressure piece at all where it should be. I need a smaller one because the velco also rubs my leg. Which I would much rather deal with than sciatica pain.

It does just as stated. It worked immediately taking away the pain.

It's a perfect fit and helps my sciatica

Packaging and instructions were a bit sketchy. You could have done a much better job explaining how to use this product, with clearer instructions. It felt like you put a minimum of effort into explaining how to use it. Text / diagrams were small and hard to read or see as I recall.

Note: This is FDA *cleared* which does NOT mean that it has been proven to work; it simply means that it can be marketed as a pain relief device because it is similar to other devices, and NONE of those 'similar' devices have evern been FDA *approved* (approved means they have been subject to testing, i.e. they actually work). More than likely this works by placebo effect.My GF had an ongoing back pain, I was skeptical about this (and other) device, but I bought it anyway as a long shot. It did not work. It turns out she just had a lumbar strain injury that eventually resolved on its own.This device seems too big for smaller people, and could be narrower considering it just applies pressure using a 1.5" button. She is 4-11 and petite, and it definitely did not fit under her pants leg, and although the brace fit her leg, it was so bulky that it was impossible to place it in the correct position without overlapping her knee joint.The material is comfortable, and she wore it while sleeping with no issues (again, no relief because no Sciatica, but that's expected).I tried it for fun - I'm a guy at 6-1 and athletic shape - and it fit great. So for my body type the fit was good. It still would be somewhat bulky under long pants, but would certainly be ok under baggy sweatpants, loose jeans, etc.Two stars because it's decently manufactured, but I doubt it really works. It falls into the snake-oil category of acupuncture, chirotherapy, etc. Unfortunately they got my money, and I'm too lazy to refund, but I wouldn't buy it. Go to a doctor.
