Sciatica

What is it?

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and begins from nerve roots in the lumbar spinal cord in the low back and extends through the buttock area to send nerve endings down the lower limb. When it becomes irritated it creates pain and discomfort.

Why do I have it?

A herniated disk can put pressure on the sciatic nerve. Other causes of sciatica include: Lumbar spinal stenosis – narrowing of the spinal cord in the lower back and osteoarthritis.

When does it hurt?

For many of you the pain or presence of sciatica is always there. It is the flare ups that cause more disability. Poor posture while sleeping and sitting. Doing too much of anything i.e.) exercising the wrong way, cutting the grass, walking etc.

The Bracing Experts Advice:

Three words: Posture. Posture. Posture. Knowing what is causing the sciatica pain and where i.e. herniated disc; stenosis is really important. This can help us fit you with a brace that will best align your spine in order to take as much pressure off the sciatica nerve.

The best brace for SCIATICA nerve pain

Recommended by The Bracing Experts

SacroLoc

The SacroLoc Back Brace provides correct support for sacroiliac joint syndrome and pain, stabilizing and relieving pressure on the pelvis and symphysis.

With its two-part visco-elastic cushion (pad), it also massages the sacroiliac joints, stimulating circulation and helping the healing process.

This back brace specifically targets the sacroiliac joints, providing direct tension and pain relief. It is anatomically contoured, ensuring a proper fit and effect during every movement. The non-elastic knitted fabric and individually adjustable tension straps provide excellent control of movement of the lumbar spine and SI joint.

The SacroLoc Back Brace is designed for maximum comfort and convenience. It features practical fastening with widened finger loops, making it easier to don and doff. The slimmer, flatter fastening with soft edges creates a low profile design for better comfort, while the breathable material ensures sufficient air circulation to the skin.

SacroLoc is barely noticeable under clothing, thanks to its flat, anatomical fit. The amount of pressure relief provided by the orthosis can be controlled individually using the tensioning straps. It is also easy to wash and care for - simply remove the back pad and close all Velcro fasteners before washing.
