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’ve had prior back surgery that was considered failed back surgery. Without high doses of lyrica, norco and flexeral I can barely get out of bed. The pain from scar tissue pushing on my sciatica nerve caused me to loose feeling in my leg after only 10 minutes of standing or walking. With Be Active, I no longer loose feeling in my leg. I haven’t tripped or fallen. I can drive long distances, go for walks and and go up stairs easier. It has improved my life by at least 30%. I would say to anyone one the fence, it’s worth a try. But for me, it’s worth a million!

For those like me suffering from sciatica, this can provide some relief. It’s important to get the pressure point in the right spot and you might need to try some slight adjustments to feel some relief. This isn’t a miracle worker, so you need to manage expectations. Some relief is better than none and that’s what I get with this. At least I am able to walk with less pain. Use it in combination with some stretching, local topical pain cream or patches and oral pain meds like Alleve for the best 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.

This may be the best thing I ever bought. Was using a cream for pain. Put on this velcro strap and my pain stooped almost immediately. Trust me, folks, Just give it a try. Its worth the money. Paul Meredith Vienna, OH.

Im really surprised that it work so well. I bought it for my wife. I have tried so many other gimmicks and nothing worked like this has. Fortunately she only has pain in one leg and this has worked very good. She is able to wear it under clothing (dont know why that matters, but it does to her). We recommended it to a friend and they are pleased with the results as well. The price is reasonable and worth giving it a chance.

I love this product it works really well I recommend it to anyone. I also like to know how some products take so long to deliver?

This is a great product at a great price . It stopped my leg pain instantly ,I would recommend it to anyone with sciatica pain .

My mother got this for me and I didn’t think it would work but holy cow! I can’t live without it now. I had her order a second one for when this one is dirty. It doesn’t take away all the pain but it helps so much! If you truly live with sciatic pain, you know that any help is welcome. I have a girlfriend who also has sciatic pain and when I got the second one, I ordered one for her too. She lives in hers now as well. I live on the beach and told mom that I wasn’t going to wear it in the summer because I didn’t want the tan line, but it helps so much I will wear it. I’m afraid to take it off now. If you live with sciatic pain, do yourself a favor and get this brace, I sleep in it, work in it, I do everything except shower in it. I never expected it to do what it does, but I am so thankful that it does!

I couldnt believe how quickly my condition improved after all this time. I have only one question... After a while it stretches a little...enough to fall to my ankle. I need an idea to prevent this. Otherwise, this is a great invention.

The BeActive brace relieved my sciatica pain almost immediately. I am able to do more than I have been able to in the past six plus months. The only problem I have with the product is that after a couple of months the velcro is beginning to loose it grip. I have very small caves so Im not sure why.
