Does it relieve sciatica? Does it eliminate or does it just reduce the symptoms frequency and intensity?

I do not know if it relieves sciatica or not. I have some degenerating disks in my neck that is helped by HemingWeigh pad and pillow. My symptoms are worse than some other people so, I could not try to tell you anymore than some of the relief I have had.

Yes . It is giving me relief but it won't cure your condition "over night" An anti inflammatory will help with the pain

I use it for lower back and pretty much anytime my back hurts and I am home with time to spare (bare back is best). A few minutes is all you really need but it feels best while you stay on it. I have noticed it works really well after I am achy from a workout and when blood is still flowing. Make sure you adjust your position slightly every 15-30 seconds, this moves the spikes to new positions on the skin and feels great! The relief will only last between 10-30 minutes after you stop though. I have never tested this but I believe if you use it often and regularly you will experience long term relief. This is based on depletion of Substance P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_P).

From what I have read it does. I know I experienced a "cleansing" and no longer have "stomach rumbles" etc. I use it everyday and have for several months...I also take a variety of Chinese Herbs and so I am not are of its exact impact. Hope this helps

I have used the foam roller for that purpose and it does give a bit of relief. It helps stretch out the tight lower lumbar muscles. It does help

At first I thought it helped and kept using it for a couple of months. It then was erratic how often I would have to get up at night. I stopped taking it and it and found that it did not affect anything. I am even doing better at night without taking it. Hope this helps.

I haven't used it enough to really give you a good answer! My husband says he thinks it a "mental thing" that I just THINK I feel better after using it but I do feel that there is some relief within a few minutes - a bit tingly upon application (which he says is just distracting - sorry I'm so vague!)

HelloThis cushion is designed to position lower back including tail bone in place and this helps sciatica ( that's back pain from pinching of a nerve between vertebra that radiate to hip,groin and leg sometimes )I got this cushion for my right hip pain and seems to be helping me so far but I just start using it so not too sure if the cushion will keep its shape and continue to help me.So I would say it may help but if you have Body Bath and Beyond or other stores that carry it, try it first to be sure.

yes. However, we never remove it as it gives good padding for our legs/ankles. We highly recommend this machine and have had great results with healing sciatica. Friends have also used itfor improved circulation and hip pain.

It send electric pulses through your muscles. Its a smaller version of what doctors offices use when treating back injuries. There are electrode type patches that stick too your skin in different areas. You follow the diagrams they give you. It did relax my muscles and bring some pain relief. I'm quite glad I purchased it.

I think this is something to ask your physician because it really depends on the type and source of your discomfort. However, I have used the TENS unit on my lower back where I had disc surgery about 18 years ago and it relieved the residual pain. I believe that muscles and nerves 'remember' pain and if you can interrupt that 'memory' it might be possible to find relief. For me, this little unit has had a remarkable effect on the quality of my life.

It does work for me. I don't know what you need it to do, but it does relax me and help me sleep, and it does relax sore muscles. It tells you on the bottle how much to use for effectiveness.

No , it's not. This instrument helps to stretch spinal vertebra and let it to decrease compression on bone and disc. So discs have opportunity to regenerate and come back to normal position. As a result this instrument relief and prevent back pain inducing by disc displacement and shortening of spinal column and even lordosis.

All I can say is that it works, and I have had no side effects. Not everyone's body is the same so I can't say that it definitely will work for you. It is not a miracle drug, but it will reduce the number of times you have to go in the night. At least it has for me.

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.
