Vriksasana Si Belt for Men and Women That Treat Sciatica, Including Pelvic, Back and Leg Pain Nerve Pain, Stabilize Sacroiliac Joint | Trochanter Brace | Anti-Slip and Pilling-Resistant (REGULAR SIZE)

I just received this and it appears that this is going to work for me. It gives me the lower back support I am looking for. The size and shape are perfect. I tried several other back braces and they were so big I felt like I had a body cast on.

garbage.

I have been wearing SI belts for quite a while because of my chronic back problem. Although it remains to be seen how well it will last, the design gives me hope.Unlike most others, it is narrower in front and widest at the hips. This translates into larger support on the hips, without forcing a fold or roll in front. I am a little overweight, so my stomach protrudes (I imaging this is particularly true for pregnant women. The narrower front portion stays in proper shape because stomach does not part of it to bend or fold. Many lose grip and cease being flat at the key fastener area. This design also has side bands that can distribute he area even more. It tends to make it supportive without having to tighten so much.Wearing for casual and gym for about a month now, and quite happy with it.

After much study about the SI joint and sciatic nerve and all that lovely pelvic anatomy I came to the conclusion that it helps stabilize the hips but doesn't help significantly with sciatica right away, hear me out please. This is for the sacroiliac (SI) joint. So I've had it on for days so far and slept with it on too. It's not uncomfortable to sleep in at all. I noticed an improvement in my pelvic area all around very quickly especially since I have suffered for over 25 yrs with many lower back (down to toes) issues. I can definitely tell when using the stairs. The grinding has stopped in the entire SI joint area as long as I am wearing it. According to my research it could take around 6 weeks of continuous wearing the belt to get to a decent recovery level, easy enough. Now for the sciatica I have as well that causes me great pain from the knee to my toes causing intense tingles and needles. That nerve runs down or through the tendons of my SI joint. The first time I put the belt on my sciatica nerve went nuts and the tingles intensified for about an hour. HOWEVER, it's been days and my sciatica is improving as well. My theory here is that my tendons at my SI joints were so inflamed and abused that it was pinching my sciatic nerve. This will not be the situation for everyone. My suggestion is easy to help you decide if this is the right product for you. Go to YouTube and type in SI joint. Watch a few that explain what it is and how it works. It's very helpful to watch these and I can't stress that enough. This product, unfortunately, was never suggested to me by roughly 20 different chiropractors and doctors that never figured out why I was in so much pain because all my scans only showed arthritis in ALL my abused joints in my entire pelvic area, (oh yes, it hurts a lot). This belt is working slowly by stabilizing my pelvis and the rest is falling into place.SIZING: I am a bigger woman and wear, in men's pants, around a size 44-46 waist which was right at the edge of the sizing chart. I ordered the regular size and it fit perfectly. I released to two extra side straps first and put the belt on in the correct area then applied the 2 side straps again. This doesn't need to be super tight. You don't want to over squeeze. It fit just great.My only issue is since I have a pouch belly the front of the belt wants to roll. Small problem of not perfect comfort at times is a tiny price to pay for relief.I really hope that this helps at least one person.The belt itself is good. So far the velcro is holding great, the seams look good. It's not stretching out abnormally, and it's comfortable enough for constant wear.

I really did not have high hopes for this, as I have been dealing with arthritis, SI joint pain, one hip higher than the other….piraformis syndrome sometimes so bad, my hip would lock up. Pain 24/7….I can’t sit too long or stand, or walk too much. I have ms and use a cane on a regular basis, which may not help with all my problems.2 months pre-Covid, I started Myofascial release treatment. She didn’t take insurance and was expensive, but I was seeing improvement. Then Covid hit and I stopped and have not been back.So about a week ago I ordered this belt, put it on and wore it 3 days straight. I was blown away!!! NO PAIN…WTH?! I thought no way….took a break from it the next day, pain started back up! So later that evening back on it went. I am shocked that this simple belt, has made me comfortable again…I can sleep at night now, I am not constantly tossing and turning trying to get comfortable.I am a believer in this belt, I feel like a different person and am so thankful for finding it and trying it.If you have hip, leg si joint pain, sciatica, etc….try this, you WONT be sorry.Thank you!!!*I am a vine voice, yet I paid for this product myself. I have never received product in turn for reviews. I try to give an honest review of the products I purchase.
