Low back strain occurs when the muscles and ligaments supporting your spinal column are overstretched, resulting in tiny tears. This weakening affects the spine’s stability, leading to low back pain. Additionally, since nerves branch out from the spinal cord, a low back strain can cause discomfort in other areas, such as the buttocks and legs.
What Does Low Back Strain Feel Like? Symptoms typically include pain and stiffness in the back, as well as pain radiating to the buttocks and back of the thighs. Discomfort may worsen with bending, stretching, coughing, or sneezing. Recognizing these signs can aid in prompt treatment.
Customer service was wonderful and so refreshing . I had an issue and Ellie was so quick and attentive .I bought the waist band for my daughter and the wrist compression for my son and they said it’s very comfortable and helps them feel supported.
First, I can say that I am not one to give reviews - ever. I just either forget or don’t have the time, but these products have been such an instrumental tool in my symptoms that I had to leave a review this time! I have been using JellieBend products for probably 6 months or so (JellieBend, JellieWraps for wrists, and now JellieBody). I was skeptical when I bought my first JellieBend - I thought it seemed overpriced, but I was also desperate for relief so figured it was worth a try and I could always return it if I hated it.
It has been so helpful, ESPECIALLY with my often prolonged time sitting at a desk. It relieves some of the back pain and provides snug, but not uncomfortable support. (By the way - I have really struggled with finding appropriate compression because I hate the way most feel against my skin due to MCAS). I also had tethered cord surgery less than a year ago and needed some support but disliked back braces - this was PERFECT! I have also found JellieBend helpful with abdominal compression and keeping my blood pressure up a little more - especially during this hot summer where compression socks/leggings are nearly impossible. It’s also been helpful during my clinical rotations when I was struggling with lightheadedness, every time I was trying to do a physical exam on a patient - this helped reduce some of this symptom which could really impact my ability to do my job!
As for the wrist wraps….well, let’s put it this way - I think I have literally 5 sets of wrist braces and dislike nearly all of them (and never use them). This is the first type of wrist supports I have used consistently. I have a lot of hand/wrist pain with typing and writing - which I do a LOT as an NP student! I appreciate that they are stretchy enough to adjust the level of compression to make them tighter/looser for support without sacrificing movement. I just started using my JellieBody and have found it helpful for mid-upper back pain, as well as hip pain (I have instability as well as a labral tear).
However, the JellieBend is still my favorite product - I have 5 of them now so I can wear it every day! I have to say these products are worth the price and I’m hoping Ellie will continue to create different compression wear!
I suffer from chronic pain and had a stent placed for vein compression in my illiac vein in my abdomen. Compression is recommended and I've been wearing a variety of compression wear. This product has made a HUGE difference on my pain levels and overall functionality. Thank you!!
I am 61 yrs old. I have hEDS, Polymyositis and MCAS. My bones are ALWAYS subluxating and I have been PRESCRIBED and bought more braces than can fill a HOSPITAL. None worked "well" OR...HURT when going out and DOING things! I am a very "Active" Grandma. Fishing, Horseback Riding, Dog Training with large dogs! But when I got my JELLY BAND I put on without thinking much. THe FIRST thing I noticed it that it IMMEDIATELY and gently put my HIP{S and lower back in the RIGHT position. I went around gardening, training dogs, horses etc,...It was NOT until 6 HOURS later I REALIZED I was STILL wearing the brace, and it WAS COMFORTABLE!!!! Now I wear it daily and am very bendy and a lot more Pain Free! THANK you for a product that REALLY lives up to its "hype", I WILL be buying several MORE Jellybands!
This was purchased for my husband, who I strongly suspect has suffered with EDS since in his teens, undiagnosed of course. He actually gave it a try right away and found it significantly helpful! He prefers to be very active but since he experiences a triggered mid back on most weeks it has actually become very debilitating and has has a huge negative impact on his life. The Jellieband stabilizes his lower back so it stays relaxed and his mid back doesn’t need to compensate. Activities that normally cause cascading trigger points are now doable for him! It’s starting to lift his constant anxiety that his back is going to go out at any moment as he continues to build trust that the Jellieband is stabilizing and supporting effectively. My opinion is that this is a major turning point for the good in his physical and mental health. Bravo for creating such a comfortable device that works! We are wondering if there’s a Summer version so he doesn’t heat up so much since his preference would be to wear this all day - up to 8 hrs at a time.
I have hypermobility and a history of lumbar and sacral fractures. This piece of technology is truly life changing. I am getting my life back. I recently left my full-time job because of chronic pain, and now Jelliebend is helping me launch my own business. Thank you for making this incredible gift.
