Does it help with low back pain?

no! it might if it were more supportive also if you got to p or anything there is no slot for that you have to drop your shorts which gets some strange look's in the men's room.. there are other brands less renowned, but are just as good. support under wear has a ways to go and I wish they would work with people that have pain. I dont know about riding horses and all back hurts to much for that I am saving my self for a nice lady, that hopefully doesn't look like a horse lol..

It seems to help what ever places it touches. I have a bad back, but it does not act like most bad backs. I bought it for my shoulder, but my back doesn't bother me when I have it on. Can't say what it will do for someone else.

I bought this shirt for my dad who has a lot of arthritis in his lower back. He wears his 24/7 & says it helps him feel & move better. He ended up buying 2 more so he never goes without wearing it. Hope this helps answer your question

Bought this for my husband and when he wears it he has no shoulder and upper back pain, but I don't think he had any relief from lower back and hip pain. He was so happy with the results of the shirt, though, I bought him the shorts and he says those do relieve hip and lower back pain for him.

It *really* depends on the reason for your lower back pain. If you have compressed vertebrae, or bad posture, I'm not sure this pillow would help. You might benefit more from a lumbar cushion than a coccyx cushion. As with any medical advice, check with your doctor first.

The pain doctor recommended it for my husbands back. It was originally made for horses strains. My husband says it works like a charm!

There's no research that shows taping your back relieves pain, but it won't hurt to try it. I'd suggest strengthening your multifidus muscles that have been shown to be weak in people with low back pain - Jim Johnson's stenosis book has some ex's for this. Hope this helps!

There is slight evidence that glucosamine/chondroitin can lessen pain and slow osteoarthritis of the joints, specifically knees and hips. Frankly, the statistics are not very convincing. I doubt that it would be helpful for back pain.

It eases pain. Mine is in my rear end caused by arthritis pressing on my sciatic nerve trunks. I roll it on and get relief.

HelloThis cushion is designed to position lower back including tail bone in place and this helps sciatica ( that's back pain from pinching of a nerve between vertebra that radiate to hip,groin and leg sometimes )I got this cushion for my right hip pain and seems to be helping me so far but I just start using it so not too sure if the cushion will keep its shape and continue to help me.So I would say it may help but if you have Body Bath and Beyond or other stores that carry it, try it first to be sure.

I have been using it to roll both my legs and my back -- in particular, my lower back. This is very good for muscle-related lower back pain. If your pain is more structural, I would be very careful. But when I lie on it and roll back and forth, it both cracks my back (much like a chiropractor), which feels good, and it works the lower back muscles in a very similar way to a massage. I have found it very helpful in relieving my lower back muscle soreness which comes from sitting too much and then working out hard. Good luck!

Did it help your back? I am buying it for the same reason to cover my firm tempur mattress which gives me soooooo much back ache

I think so. It helps me in general. my problem is more my lower back. But from time to time I wake up with my arms "asleep" and hanging the next morning usually takes care of it. ( not a strict neck problem)

It could help. I bought one for my wife who had a sore on her bottom and it helped take the pressure off the sensitive area. Since pain is pain anything that helps eliminate some pain may help a lot.

I don't believe so. The stretch you get is more helpful for lower back pain.

Yes it does help with inflammation a little. It does help with pain, it hurts when to walk.

No it does not, it helps to relax muscles and tendons do to tendonitis, it relaxes the local area. It helps alot with the pain

It doesn't correct posture permanently, it only helps. So I use it when my back is hurting to help. I will say it's the best one on the market. It just helps you from not hunching over.

It sleeps a little warm but not like the old type which had no gel or air holes and was really warm to sleep on. Yes it will help with back pain if you put this topper on your mattress, it does for me. Mike
