SEROLA Sacroiliac Belt for SI Joint Dysfunction – (Large fits 40” to 46”) Lower Back, Sciatic, Pelvic & Hip Support brace for Women & Men | Non-Slip, Adjustable & Breathable Pain Relief Brace

This is a very nice and effective belt to reduce pain associated with low back pain/ SI joint pain. This belt isn’t intended to cure your back issues, but it has given me comfort during my SI joint episodes.The belt is a nice looking color and it is adjustable to your needs.I am a 34” waist and the large fits perfectly.

This is the only thing that has eliminated my sacro iliac pain, and it's such a simple device!! Just adjust the velcro straps and that's it! Physical therapy didn't help, Advil and heating pads only helped for a short time, but this belt is simply amazing. And I only need to wear it for an hour or two every other day. It doesn't impede any movement, doesn't show up under clothes, and is super comfortable. I'll be bringing it when I hike the Camino de Santiago, walking 15 miles a day carrying a 13 pound pack. It's really a miracle and I bought one as a gift for a friend with hip pain. I'd give this 100 stars if I could. Thank you!

The best belt for sciatic pain caused by SPD during pregnancy. It’s the only reason I can get through any daily tasks. More comfortable compared to the groin belts.

I bought this in Large. My hips, measured right above the grand trochanter (so that includes part of my butt) are 40". The size is good as it's very easy to adjust.I injured my sacrum and the surrounding region 3 years ago (kickboxing gone bad) and only recently did an osteopath find out the issue - my sacrum was out of wack. He popped it back into place, and realigned my hips (they do tend to move out of alignment, and for 3 years, that's all chiros have been able to see and correct, never correcting or even looking at my sacrum). Anyway, now my iliolumbar ligament is strained - 3 years of not healing, resulting in semi-permanent damage and scar tissue) and some muscles are also pulling the wrong way. It'll take some time and TLC before it all goes back to normal. I'm using this belt to help avoiding wrong movements (torsions) that still make my sacrum pop, and allo the ligament to heal, now that the bone isn't pulling on it the wrong way anymore.I've been wearing it for a couple of weeks now, from a couple of hours to the whole day, even at night, and I can tell it works. My back isn't as tender as it normally is after a day at work (I tend to sit all twisted, and/or sit on my legs), and I turning around at night doesn't hurt anymore. I have no pain to immediately alleviate, so I can't vouch for its efficiency on that, but it works for what I need it to do - protect my back while it's healing.The belt is also surprisingly comfortable. Wear it low, just above the great trochanter protuberance - yes that means it goes across of your butt. Lower than your pants belt line. It does not move (and I have a pretty generous behind so I was fully expecting it to). I try to wear it above my clothes, but I did have to wear it under my work pants a couple of times, no problems (a bit less comfy though. It's thin enough, even for women's dress pants. The back straps allow you to fine-tune how tight you want it, and you can even tighten it more on one side if it helps.

I’m pregnant and my midwife recommended this belt after I started having pubic and SI joint pain. It’s been great! It took me a while to figure out how best to put it on and position it but now it’s pretty quick and easy. It holds my hips together and makes a world of difference.It can be uncomfortable if you’re sitting for longer periods. It’s definitely meant for standing and walking around. They say you can wear it over or under clothes. I recommend over because it can dig into your skin and be uncomfortable that way. I wish Velcro wasn’t so loud but that’s not the fault of the product.

I have suffered over 4 hrs with excruciating nerve pain, burning, and spasms (lower lumbar spine, just below ribs, pelvic & groin region, hips, and thighs front & back to knees) due to a kind of dysplasia with both left and right SI Joints which has largely restricted activity (bending, twisting, squatting, lounge standing & walking, sleeping--everything!) I have been through multiple regimes of drugs, injections, physical therapy, massage, heat, Theracane, TENS Unit, support pillows, adjustable mattress, compression products, etc etc. and am currently wrestling with my insurance to cover SI-Bone joint surgery. Though I was once very active, the condition kept me most of the time on my back, which affects my happiness and potentially could affect my overall health. While researching online in mid' November 2016, I found the Serola belt, which has since been a real Godsend for me (I wish it had been recommended to me earlier by my pain management specialist or physical therapist, since another physical therapist told me the belt is widely used and recommended by many). No, it does not eliminate ALL the pain, however it noticeably improves overall relief and keeps my pain to a lower level. I wear mine 24-7 and have had to train myself with it at night to life on back with pelvis straight and legs flat. The belt adds the necessary support when ordered in proper size by chart, and worn in the right place according to instructions online & in booklet found in packaging (bottom of belt should be where front Jean pockets begin). It took nearly a month to adjust to properly to wearing it (correct placement & tightness) and deriving it's benefits, partly because I did not 1st initially read all instructions enclosed in packaging, and largely due to the extreme Inflammation I had up to the purchase of the belt. Time and patience was needed to learn and to allow the inflammation to gradually go down as I faithfully kept the belt on. Since, I have been able to stand and walk for longer periods and reduce a lot of my meds. The belt is a darker color worn low, and it is comfortable, very sturdy, and has very strong velcro that will not come loose. The straps on both sides can be pulled and secured to just the right hold needed to restrict movement of the SI Joints, while not restricting me from normal overall physical movement. I have gone to pulling mine very snugly and only take it off for showering to use the bathroom. In bed, wearing the belt and using a firm half-round bolster under my knees has helped immensely. I was surprised to realize the amount of pain, discomfort and overall tension that had been accumulating as I had just normalized and coped with it--even while drastically curtailing or drastically reducing my day to day activity. The Solera belt has allows me to stand and work in kitchen longer, drive and sleep more comfortably, and walk for longer distances at the store. Because I have been able to lessen the drugs I take and sleep a little better, I feel sharper, happier, and more relaxed. The money is worth it and the belt, when introduced along with the other measures I was taking, has helped a lot. I would highly recommend it. One more note: upon visiting another physical therapist, I was met with professionals who were very familiar with the belt and have been using it for their patients for a long time. She was also happy to visually evaluate me to ensure belt placement was correct. I have told my doctor and massage therapists, as well as a few people I've met with same issues.
