Does it work for sciatica?

it works great! I am an IT professional and sitting on my chair all day. It creates a lot of compression in my lower back. This device helps me a lot to decompress my tension. I would definitely recommend it.

Yes. Used for about 3 mins., 4 times / day, together with McKenzie exercises, it has greatly relieved my wife's sciatica, allowing her to continue to play golf & hike. She is virtually painfree for 99% of the day. / Anthony.

I really don't have sciatica so I'm unable to help here. The machine acts like a gentle traction on the back and it definately helps stretch the lower back...I use it once a day. When I'm going to do "special projects" on my farm with lots of lifting I always use it twice a day and I wouldn't be without my Nubax. I haul it hundreds of miles because it works so well. Good luck.

Yes it does, I wouldRecomend this 100%, it's not only a matter of just stretching your back but know how to use it. Stretch your back for one min then rest for 2, then do it again 3- 4 times in a row and if you can do it 2 times a day but dont just star with one min, i would say, start with 30 sec then rest for a min and increase the time progressively untill you feel confortable. This is a great machine. Good luck

I would say it depends on each case and the severity. If you drink enough water daily (1/2 your body weight in ounces) and you use Nubax you've got a good chance.

Yes it will work. Its more of a preventative care product. I haven't needed it for serious back pain. So I can only say that it works to keep me extended and relief from minor pain. Hope this helps

I don't know if it's used for that. I know it works great on my partially herniated disks in my neck and my shoulder joints.

I found the BICOR Sciatic Saddle Pillow gave me more pain than comfort, and certainly "no gain" in relieving pain in any area of my body.No, it didn't help as a back support. I should have returned it.

I think it might work for that. My problem concerns my lower back and down along my leg, so the cushion pressed on those areas. There is a gap where your coccyx bone is so I would guess that would be OK for you.

I used it on a neck cramp once and it worked fine. Iwould imagine it works on any muscle cramp.

I am NOT SMALL, by any means and it works fine for me. I will say that it TAKES TIME to get used to it, but NOW I can't drive without it. It has really helped with my sciatica issue.

I am not a specialist but do know anatomy and physiology. I use it for release of tight muscles. Hip and sciatica represent a mechanical problem. I would youtube using one of these or ask a physical therapist for specific target areas for your condition. I love it but you have to know what you are doing.

Man, if you can use it on your balls surely you can you use on your back. It works.

It works great in the car. I'm not a small guy and the only issue I've had, is that, it's a little to soft and it gets squished. As for functionally it seems to get the job done. It has really helped my posture and my sciatic nerve.

Yes I did not have sciatic nerve problems , But I loaned it to my friend who did and he said that it did help and same thing he used in P.T.

I would have to say ALONE,NO. DMSO, acually helps carry ingredients , herbs and the like, deep into the tissue. If you had some sort of pain relieving lotion mixed with DMSO, it would help the skin exsorb it deeper then the lotion alone could do. I hope this was of some help to you. If you Google sciatic pain, you'll find many different alternatives to pain management.

I bought this for my lower back problem causing Sciatica pains, difficult to move and sleep side ways. I was hoping this pillow will help in my condition. However, it does not have much to do in helping the back problem. In your case with neck and brain injury, that would be different story. I do not have same experience to guide you if it would be helpful to you or not. So, sorry.

I purchased mine for neck pain and must say when I use it, it does work. Very pleased with this item and it can also be used for other body parts.

I would have to say it's more for lumbar/back relief. But, maybe it's worth a try. If the back is straight and supported, then the rest of things usually fall into place too. I have a Tempur Pedic cushion to sit on for my office chair and it helps me in that department.
