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

I am at a campground. 5 others have tried this and its awesome. I should get royalties. They have all ordered. My husband has nerve pain, and in a wheelchair, and once we hit the sweet spot, it helps tremendously. As for the others, they had sciatic pain. Everyone has come up to ask the name of this. So I guess they really liked it.

20 year old suffering with excruciating sciatic pain. It works exactly how it should. I did notice that it mostly just helps lessen the amount of pain I’m in, which is all I could really ask for at this point. This really makes it easier to get through my whole work shift. I would be more likely to recommend this to someone who is in less pain than I am though.

Seller listed in stock, but took a couple of weeks to get. Maybe in stock in China. Was skeptical about these as I have severe nerve pain in my leg, but it actually works and some days not as good as others, but overall good. I would purchase again gave a 4 star because of slow delivery.

It was a little difficult to find the right spot once I was able to tighten the device to my liking. The good thing is I get relief from the pain running down my leg to my ankle.

Easy to use and offers some lower back pain relief

I have suffered attacks of sciatica that were horribly debilitating. At times when my right thigh cramped so severely that I was stopped from walking in midstride, I have had success in reanimating myself by knuckle-punching the uncooperative muscle. Having watched a lot of Kung Fu movies this put me in mind of nerve strikes based on acupressure, which is apparently the rational basis of this device. While I am not qualified as anything, I do have some books on the subject (which are now prohibitively expensive for some reason) and I have learned that the bladder meridian of the bodys chi flow runs through the leg where this item is fastened. Directly behind the knee is the point called Zhibian, which is used to treat sciatica among other things. The disc in the brace sits closer to a point called Heyang, at the high end of the bulk of the calf, which is pressed to alleviate numbness of lower extremities, and certain irrelevant conditions. As you might have guessed, any effect from activating these nodes could be achieved by hand without this product. In my experience the tightness of the band is uniform and doesnt specifically stimulate anything. When I wear it, pain remains in my lower back and hip. There may be a reduction in cramping, but my current episode is fortunately waning, so Im not sure how to attribute the cause of that. To the claim that this remedys design is inspired by science, my guess is that any empirical data which backs it was filtered through concepts of body energy and Yin/Yang. If those ideas in turn are objective realities or not, is your call. I could be completely wrong about the reasoning behind it, but the instructions are vague and the photographic examples of its usage are brightly generic, so Im forced to speculate as such. You know if you have sciatica that any relief is welcome, so considering all options is necessary. I can only judge this one with a resounding Maybe.

as strange as it sounded i strapped it on below my new and could walk without pain.

I think this brace is a great idea; however, it doesnt work all that well for my behind the knee problem, which is coming from my back issues.

I am a 57 year old male who has been in the construction industry my whole life, so I know what back pain is and how hard it is to deal with through the day. My chiropractor can do wonders for me but I dont always have the time when I have a flare up to go see him twice a week for a month to get straightened out. I was very skeptical of this product but thought if it would just give me some relief to get me through the work day it would be worth it. To my surprise this gave me immediate relief! You have to play around with it some to find the exact spot it needs to be because its a one size fit all product and no ones leg is the same size. After a couple of adjustments I hit the right spot and it works great! Would highly recommend.

Had nothing to lose if it didnt work...but it actually did! Had knee replacement and have screws and rods in back...never had sciatic issues but whats one more ache! This thing really alleviates the pain. Wear it for a couple of days and then Im good for a couple more without...have turned a bunch of friends and customers onto it. Again, if it works, yeah!! If not you can return...worth the shot, trust me!
