If you're one of the millions of Canadians who suffer from lower back pain, chances are you know just how debilitating it can be.
The Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA) estimates that more than 11 million Canadians have suffered from an injury or disorder that has affected their movement.
Whether a result of an accident, herniated disc, sciatica, scoliosis, or plain old bad luck, one in eight people report chronic back problems and almost one-third experience activity limitations due to their back pain.
And while there are dozens of ways to go about pain relief, one top-rated option Amazon Canada shoppers turn to is the T TIMTAKBO Lower Back Brace with Removable Lumbar Pad. The adjustable belt has racked up more than 1,700 reviews from shoppers, and right now, it's on sale for $34 — but only until midnight PST (3 a.m. EST).
Lower Back Brace with Removable Lumbar Pad
The details
The T TIMTAKBO lower back brace is designed to relieve lower back pain and provide lumbar support to those living with arthritis, herniated discs, sciatica, lower backaches, soreness and discomfort.
The belt is completely customizable and gives users the option to add or remove a lumbar pad to modify the level of support. It features a dual adjustable pulley system that makes it easy to tighten or loosen the fit and is constructed from a lightweight and breathable mesh fabric.
For additional support, the brace has four steel stabilizers in the back to help hold you steady throughout the day.
What people are saying
For shoppers questioning the waist belt's health-related claims, Amazon reviewers attest by its "amazing" and "immediate" pain relief.
I have "two herniated disks" in my lower back, and while "cynical," I decided to give the back brace a try, writes one reviewer. "Immediately after putting it on," my back pain "was absent." I've stopped using my cane because "I can stand and walk" without any "pain at all."
The brace is "lightweight" and provides "great support," says another shopper. Best of all, it costs "less than one-tenth" of an "orthopedic belt."
"I have sciatic issues," and it provides "relief," said another shopper. It "certainly does the job."
While the belt has racked up an average rating of 4.3 stars based on more than 1,700 reviews, some say it offers "little in pain relief."
It's good quality and affordable but is only "moderately effective in relieving back pain," according to one shopper.
The verdict
If you're looking for an affordable and quick solution to back pain and discomfort, more than 1,000 Amazon shoppers give the T TIMTAKBO lower back brace their five-star seal of approval. While most shoppers say the brace is "lightweight" and provides "great support," some say it only offers moderate pain relief, something to keep in mind before making your purchase.
