King of Kings Lower Back Brace Pain Relief with Pulley System - Lumbar Support Belt for Women and Men - Adjustable Waist Straps for Sciatica, Spinal Stenosis, Scoliosis or Herniated Disc - Large

MAJOR EDIT APRIL 2023: This is a fantastic brace with some serious key benefits. Worth every penny and then some. The preliminary adjustment is performed in securing the entire brace around your “trunk” tightly - using its wide Hook-N-Loop ends of the belt. But THEN the magic is performed by locating and pulling the 2 (one on each side) side straps -!fastened on each side of the brace belt. These straps are connected to the “web of support” on the back of the brace through “pulley” rings. They perform the compression that takes this brace to a whole new level. Pull them as tight as you feel comfortable (and safe) with. Then secure them around the front (they also are Hook -N-Loop). NOW you have a real back brace! After having it for months I realized I was missing the key feauture of this brace - the compression. I was only using the full width hook-n-loop to achieve the rigidity around my lombard area - but was ignorantly not using the two side straps that activate the compression function. This was totally stupid on my part - since that is what makes up the total genius of this brace! They perform the tightening compression function - by drawing tight the webbing on the back. Then - and only then - did I understand and experience the real help this brace is designed to provide. My paticular back issue is not important. But hearing it may aid you in your decision to better understand the potential for help in your own application. My spine degradation at 64 is chronic and painful, located just right of the L3-L4 discs. It is not there due to injury, but has been relentless for 2 years now. No non- surgical procedure has helped - although as recommended by my PCP & “Pain Mgt Doctors” - I have ENDURED them all, (therapy, MBB, RF Ablative, and 2 epidural shots). Scheduling with a surgeon is a 6 month wait - (which I am on the list for). But despite all the imageries both X-ray and series of MRI, I am still without medical help - other than my addictive pain meds and this brace. This brace enables me to perform life activities that were becoming too challanging due to the pain. I now do all my yardwork, walk - or ride my roadbike - daily, and the brace is key to maintaining these activities with the most duration and least pain It truly is “the king of kings” when it comes to REAL COMPRESSION back braces. I highly recommend this model for anyone in need of such - or contemplating which brace to buy.

Since back surgery in 1975, I have used a prescription back brace whenever lifting, and sometimes when playing golf. Due to wear and changes in size over the years, I have had 3 braces. On a recent trip to Europe, my brace was misplaced, and on return home I read about and decided to try the King of Kings .... rather than a more expensive prescription replacement. Initially there was a mis-shipment (received a med. rather than the large that was ordered), but this was replaced immediately (no need for a return). The brace is as good as promised, easy to use and adjust, fits snugly without causing discomfort and does not restrict movement (when driving, loading the car, or golfing).

I have used this brace over 7 years & it simply works. It imobilizes S1 - L1 vertebrae securely & stays comfortably in place. I love it's adjustability and durability. I am purchasing my 6th King of King braces because, I've given 4 away to friends who now also swear by it. My docs have recommended fusing me from S1 to T9 but NO WAY. I might as well strap a board to my torso. But, the King of Kings brace keeps me safe and feeling supported. I have received two prescription high tech medical back braces over the years and, these also are effective. But, I find myself using this brace because it works better & is more comfortable. I highly recommend it. It won't cure you, but, it will relieve pain & allow a more active lifestyle.

I have arthritis in my spine. Other back braces worked up to a point. Since this one is adjustable with two straps, I can adjust the pressure on my lower spine more effectively. I use it every time I go for a walk, doing yard work.

It has improved my pain level, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who suffers from lower lumbar problems. It also hides my "covid" tummy" Good seller, and good product.
