DDS, Inc. 300 Back Decompression Belt – Pneumatic Lumbar Decompression Belt for Women and Men, Lower Back Brace for Work, Lifting, and Daily Support – Adjustable Air Lumbar Traction Device (6XL)

I first learned about this compression belt from my chiropractor and he had arranged for the purchase of my original belt. But after losing some weight, I found I needed a smaller size and so I ordered my new one through Amazon. It works great and is easy to use. It helps to relieve the pain from my herniated disc; but I also still see my chiropractor weekly. It's a great additional tool though to those weekly visits.

Good for my back! Better than other belts

I recently had my first child. I started to develop some back pain during my pregnancy and powered through it with rest, stretching and some back wraps, but near the time of birth, the pain really ramped up. I was hoping it would get better after the birth, but it gradually grew worse. Rest and stretching wasn’t enough, so I tried a few of the cheaper, similar belts on amazon and none of them worked for me. My husband convinced me that we should try a higher quality product - you often get what you pay for, right? Boy, was he right. The way the decompression belt fits my spine is perfect. With some of the other belts, like Dr. Ho’s, it just did not fit my curves right - it just felt so “flat” and wasn’t much more effective than my trusty old back wrap. But with this DDS belt, it’s been so effective that I can even nurse my baby comfortably while wearing it and have almost none of the back pain after having used it for a few weeks. My husband was so impressed that he is going to also order one for his back aches - we’re so glad to have found a quality belt that works! :)

Product is well constructed. I was concern that the air might leak out over time but that has not happened. If you are between sizes, I would go down. (I wish I had.) It does expand while in use and can cause some pressure on the lower rib but that was not unexpected, just be aware especially if using while seated. Overall, I’m happy with this brace. I may do an update in a few months as it is pretty pricey!

My husband used to purchase or recommend to his patients through the company. My son who was in a terrible car accided and spine is held together with metal has worn out 3 of these over the last 10 years, but he wears daily to relieve his pain instead of taking medicine. Only complaint he says he sweats in it.

I bought this last Dec 2024. It doesn’t work. I can’t deflate it. I tried to see if I could return it but it says no returns or exchanges. Today’s date is 2/4/25. Just a little over a month. For the price I paid it should have a return policy or work which it doesn’t. So don’t do what I did and buy one. You are wasting your money.

A very well-made and well-thought-out back brace. Unfortunately for me, even after viewing proper fitting video, the brace caused me to have MORE pain in my low back where disks have begun to fail. I tried varying hours of use/wear and while my back initially felt great from the "traction", I had a sharp stab of recurring pain after removing the brace. My doc gave me a cautious okay on this brace but warned me that I might not have good luck with it. Such is life with chronic back pain.

If you have bulging/herniated disc problems this works. It’s a traction belt and it helps me tremendously
