King of KingsLower Back Brace Pain Relief with Pulley System - Lumbar Support Belt for Women and Men - Adjustable Waist Straps for Sciatica, Spinal Stenosis, Scoliosis or Herniated Disc -XLarge

I have DDD in my lower back and have worn back braces for pain relief and support for quite a few years. It was time to replace my old back brace so I was reviewing all the ones available on Amazon. I was not sure how well this one would work, but wanted to give it a try since it is so different than the standard back brace. I am so glad that I ordered this brace. Not only is it comfortable but the support it gives is the best of any brace I've ever had. The way the corset-type back is able to be tightened provides fantastic support. If you are wondering whether to give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed. I've only had this about 5 days now, but I am very happy with this purchase!

Good product

MAJOR EDIT APRIL 2023:This is a fantastic brace with some serious key benefits. Worth every penny and then some.The preliminary adjustment is performed in securing the entire brace around your “trunk” tightly - using its wide Hook-N-Loop ends of the belt. But THEN the magic is performed by locating and pulling the 2 (one on each side) side straps -!fastened on each side of the brace belt. These straps are connected to the “web of support” on the back of the brace through “pulley” rings. They perform the compression that takes this brace to a whole new level. Pull them as tight as you feel comfortable (and safe) with. Then secure them around the front (they also are Hook -N-Loop). NOW you have a real back brace!After having it for months I realized I was missing the key feauture of this brace - the compression. I was only using the full width hook-n-loop to achieve the rigidity around my lombard area - but was ignorantly not using the two side straps that activate the compression function.This was totally stupid on my part - since that is what makes up the total genius of this brace! They perform the tightening compression function - by drawing tight the webbing on the back. Then - and only then - did I understand and experience the real help this brace is designed to provide.My paticular back issue is not important. But hearing it may aid you in your decision to better understand the potential for help in your own application.My spine degradation at 64 is chronic and painful, located just right of the L3-L4 discs.It is not there due to injury, but has been relentless for 2 years now. No non- surgical procedure has helped - although as recommended by my PCP & “Pain Mgt Doctors” - I have ENDURED them all, (therapy, MBB, RF Ablative, and 2 epidural shots).Scheduling with a surgeon is a 6 month wait - (which I am on the list for). But despite all the imageries both X-ray and series of MRI, I am still without medical help - other than my addictive pain meds and this brace.This brace enables me to perform life activities that were becoming too challanging due to the pain. I now do all my yardwork, walk - or ride my roadbike - daily, and the brace is key to maintaining these activities with the most duration and least painIt truly is “the king of kings” when it comes to REAL COMPRESSION back braces.I highly recommend this model for anyone in need of such - or contemplating which brace to buy.

I Love the width! Stays below. The rib cage and provides superior comfort and support for my lumbar spine.

This back brace is the one you have been looking for all this time. The relief from an aching back is just great and almost instantaneous.What it is NOT... It is not like the flimsy one you bought at the drug store. I bought a Large. It looks a lot like the support belt weight lifters use. It is at least 6" wide in the front and a least 8" in the back. The material is good quality and breathable. There are numerous stays and a pulley like system to get it the amount of tight you want by pulling on the straps. The velcro will stick pretty much anywhere.It is NOT going to roll over or come loose.It is NOT probably going to give you a rash. The fabric is breathable.No idea how you could break it - its sturdy without being too heavy or hot.It is NOT difficult to line up with your spine because it has two sides joined by overlapping soft straps.It IS really a back brace that aligns your back, gives great support, and calmed my sciatic nerve to where it stopped aching immediately.Well worth the $$.However, it shipped with UPS who delivered it to USPS who does NOT make it available for pick up until the next day, regardless of when it arrives. I will admit we didn't ask at the desk for it though.

We've used the KofK LARGE back brace for years, and like it. Nicely designed. Good quality. Durable.BUT I've lost weight and the LARGE is, yes, too large. That is, I cannot adjust it adequately (i.e., tight enough) to provide support.So we bought a MEDIUM. Guess what? It does NOT properly adjust "large enough" for my "girth."KofK seem to size their items with a "gap" in sizing between LARGE and MEDIUM. Good luck to you if you are in my situation. :-)"Of course" I "will" lose more weight and the KofK MEDIUM will fit me (*OR* I will be really, really unlucky and the LARGE will fit me again. . . .). ;-)

I purchased this for my boyfriend who has a herniated disc. He loves it and it gives much needed support

All,i have a chronic lower back issue. i have tried the wahlmart type black stretchy belt which did nothing. i also have an air pump up decompression belt from a major company. it doesn't hold air, but does offer some relief when i simply cinch it tight.this brace is the best brace i have had to date! the thickly sewn edges don't allow the scratchy velcro to touch my skin. i am 250 lbs. with so much blubber :( these braces tend to 'fold over'. so far this brace hasn't.now to the support. it's great! i would say it's less about support and more about immobilization. it immobilizes my lower back which takes away pressure on the painful part of my back.also, it stays tight. first you wrap the brace around you. this is generally the only way most belts work. you have to get it tight the first time. not so here. you put the brace on. then you pull the velcro straps to tighten. and boy can they tighten!!!so far, it works great standing, walking, and sitting down. i highly recommend this brace. i hate to be one of those schmucks who say 'it changed my life', but it kinda has! :)

I have two belts bought on Amazon. My husband prefers this one because of the wide brace support. And many buckle holes for perfect fit. Good quality sturdy leather

It has improved my pain level, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who suffers from lower lumbar problems. It also hides my "covid" tummy" Good seller, and good product.

Since back surgery in 1975, I have used a prescription back brace whenever lifting, and sometimes when playing golf. Due to wear and changes in size over the years, I have had 3 braces. On a recent trip to Europe, my brace was misplaced, and on return home I read about and decided to try the King of Kings .... rather than a more expensive prescription replacement. Initially there was a mis-shipment (received a med. rather than the large that was ordered), but this was replaced immediately (no need for a return). The brace is as good as promised, easy to use and adjust, fits snugly without causing discomfort and does not restrict movement (when driving, loading the car, or golfing).

I followed the measurement recommendations for this product. My husband's waist was at the upper limit of the medium so I ordered him a large. For the price, he also wanted to try the medium so I ordered an other one. The large was in fact the best fit. He absolutely loves this back brace. He has had major back surgery and finds it provides ample support. The customer service I received to return the medium one was excellent. Both my husband and I highly recommend this product.

I have arthritis in my spine. Other back braces worked up to a point. Since this one is adjustable with two straps, I can adjust the pressure on my lower spine more effectively. I use it every time I go for a walk, doing yard work.
