Mueller 255 Lumbar Support Back Brace with Removable Pad, Black, Regular (28"-50" Waist)

This is a very good back brace for the money and has made a huge difference to me as I have 3 collapsed disks in the lumber section of my back, the pad which attaches with velcro fits nicely into the small of my back adds extra support and comfort. Before I bought this brace I was afraid to do simple tasks for fear of setting my back off again, but wearing the brace has allowed me to do a lot more things that I used to do which is fantastic. The brace itself is well made and easily washable, I'm a 34" waist and it fits well although it would be even better if they did different sizes so that there would not be so much excess strap to wrap round for people with slimmer waists. But that's a minor problem for all the benefits it has offered me. Good product for people who need support in the lower back.

I used this whilst doing a large landscaping project involving a lot of heavy lifting. This product saved my back from any injury.

My back causes me problems with strained muscles, at the base of my back, either side of the spine. I have a back support which sort of helped, but didn't feel as if it actually did much. This lumber support feels more substantial, the pad which rests against your spine does feel that it gives additional support. It is more effective than my old one. It will not stop any discomfort or pain, but it does help ease it, and allow you to more easily move around.

The media could not be loaded. Second time I buy this back belt, first was in 2013. Thank goodness I found it again cause I tried another one that was too big.I have had disc problems and this belt helps a lot when I need to be standing up for longer than I can bear. I would say dont stop doing your physio exercises to strengthen your back/core muscle and use this belt to relief pressure when you cant avoid it so it stops irritatiin the nerve/muscles. Pls seek professional advice always but for me, this back belt is a life saver when in crisis. But then again, you need to strengthen your core muscles to actually solve the root cause of back pain. Also, even if not in pain/crisis, if you are going to lift weight, also good idea to use this belt so you may save your discs from getting overloaded. I hope this helps and wishing you a speedy recovery and pain free life.

Pull it to your comfort level, usually keep it just a bit firm, for all day support or less, obviously take it off for meal times, used it many times and still as good as new.

Reasonable quality. Would be good if it fits. It says fit everybody. But it was way too loose for my wife

I have suffered from a weak lower caused by discs crumbling...this brace has enabled me to move almost normally when my back goes, pain killers don't help with the pain and the stability but this brace does the trick.

I borrowed my son-in-law's Mueller back brace and was so impressed I asked to keep it and bought this for him. The support is easy to put on and even when tight is comfortable and can be worn for hours. We have an equestrian smallholding which requires lots of maintenance - no more backache from lifting, cleaning and gardening, except if I forget to put it on!
