Unfortunately, I have quite a few spine problems. In addition to the degeneration in my cervical spine, I also have problems in my lower back (including slight scoliosis). When I’m on my feet for an extended period of time my lower back hurts unbearably. In fact, sometimes it gets so bad I can barely walk! As pain management has yet to find a helpful solution, I am always on the lookout for products that may help. That’s why I was thrilled to try the Vive Back Brace!

For my review, I received the Vive Back Brace. I was definitely intrigued to see if it could help support my back in a way that would reduce the pain when I’m on my feet!
Vive Back Brace Review
The Vive Back Brace is essentially a compression wrap that is designed to support the lower back. It’s made of a durable material yet doesn’t feel too heavy. It is fastened with a premium velcro that is absolutely amazing. I, personally, always worry about velcro because it can be really good, but it can also be ineffective. Sometimes it’s starts off OK but becomes ineffective later. When they say “premium” velcro, it really is. It is high quality and continues to keep its integrity. It stays nice and snug.
I have been using the Vive Back Brace when I’m doing a lot of chores around the house. Doing dishes is actually one of the most painful activities for me. Standing over the sink even for 10 minutes or less results in unbearable lower back pain. Since I’ve been using the Vive Back Brace, that pain has been reduced!
One thing I really love about this back brace is the lumbar support. I appreciate that it can be removed, but it has definitely been very helpful. It just happens to support that spot in my lower back that hurts the most (where the scoliosis is). It is really easy to remove and put back on as it also fastens with the velcro.
As with many back braces, I do get hot easily when I’m wearing it. Of course, I get hot easily in general, though. I have noticed, though, that when I do sweat it is much more breathable so it isn’t bothersome.
Overall, I think the Vive Back Brace is a great back brace. It’s lightweight yet sturdy, offers great support and is very easy to adjust to fit “just right.” It definitely seems like it will continue to offer support and maintain its integrity.

I like that offers great support and is very easy to adjust to fit “just right.”
I love the review on this vital product. I will be using a lot of these products when I go for physical therapy after I have surgery later this year or early next year.
Back pain is really hard to handle. It is a great option to get some relief.
Thank you for sharing. My husband has back problems. He just might have to try this out.
