Elasto-Gel Neck and Back Combo Hot / Cold Gel Therapy Wrap

This is a great product for anyone with back pain. I have 2 ruptured discs, degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis and my doctors and physical therapists were always going on about using ice for the most part and heat sometimes. This does both very well. Stays cold for about 30 minutes, warm for 45 but it blankets the entire area, I mean look at the pic, it covers just about everywhere but the lower back...and the company has one for there too, lol. If you use ice or heat this is frigging amazing. I have 6 of the cervical collar ones and 2 of the back ones. Let's you move around a bit more than normal ice packs because it's wearable, so you can ice around the house if you can manage that mobility. I've been giving the brochure they send with the product to everyone I know who has back pain, and my physical therapist is considering buying a couple to use at the therapy center, she loves them too!

Exactly what I hoped it would be.Its comfortable to wear and provides relief.I do wish the cold lasted a bit longer but overall I would definitely purchase it again.

I use it for cold temperature. Very happy with duration of the temp BUT the lower belt is not firm enough. Too much give, so when you attach the top Velcro straps that pull it upwards, it does not stay put.

I am sitting with this on as I am writing this review ---for herniated thoracic and cervical disc treatment when ice is recommended post injections. this is an excellent product the only thing I can say about it that is negative is the weight of the product when you lifting it---once it is on your back it is not heavy . so if you are having upper back or neck problems and you do not want to lift anything very heavy ---it may be a problem so have somebody help you ---but this is excellent I love it. Made very well and priced very well ; I highly recommend this ---it sure beats solid ice packs!

I would give it 5 stars if it stayed cold just a little bit longer. I have not yet tried it for heat. But for where my pain is this things is perfect! It feels like it hugs you with ice. It stays very cold for about 20 minutes if you freeze for 2 hours. But at minute 21 it almost immediately feels warm. But a wonderful 20 minutes!! And actually 20 minutes is the recommended time to have it on. So now that I think about it I can't penalize it a star for doing what it is supposed to do. 5 stars it is!

My husband uses this for shoulder pain. There was a broken clasp on the first one but customer service was good and helped get it sorted out. My husband says this design really targets where he needs the cooling.

I have far too many spine issues and medical problems to go into, but let me say this...This wrap is SUPERB! I am very sensitive to lumps and bumps under me, and this just doesn't make lumps and bumps. I might get another one to have one on at all times. I have severe arthritis in my spine and what a wonderful feeling to be able to WEAR this around the house, and to be able to lay right on it without having it be stiff or uncomfortable. This item is a God send for fibromyalgia, or ANY ''algia''!!! I've wrapped it around my knees at times, my feet, my shoulders, my elbows...wherever I need it the most! I also own the single neck wrap, and they have saved my life at times! I simply lay on them more than I wear them...they are a little heavy, but that way they stay put!!! I have never used them warmed up, so I cannot speak to that...but for what I got them for, THEY ROCK MY WORLD!!!! You will not find a better product to ease your swollen spine, knees, neck or any other body part...works GREAT on a migraine too, just wrap your head in it!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH....love love love!!!

Expensive, bulky, heavy, awkward to put on by yourself (especially assuming you have some injury, weakness, or reduced range of motion.)Cheap Velcro-type fasteners keep coming detached on their own. The plastic attachment clip is super-cold against the skin after being in the freezer, and could possibly cause skin damage.After 24 hours in the freezer, the product lost coldness very quickly at room temperature. After 15 minutes, the level of cooling effect was not worth wearing this uncomfortable device.This did not treat the top of my shoulder area, although I assumed it would per the marketing images in the listing.It had the most surface contact on my body around the middle back, opposite the front where the harness attaches below the chest.Even as a man, the black elastic bands on the front were scratchy and irritating on my nipples. I can't imagine a women trying to wear this.In the future I will use products from other companies. For a cheap approach, a wet towel frozen in the freezer will provide more cold treatment than this 60 dollar item, which apparently did not undergo any rounds of "user testing & improvements" before mass production.
