Koo-Care Waist & Lower Back Gel Ice Pack & Wrap for Injuries Reusable Large Flexible Hot Cold Therapy Compress with Strap for Shoulder, Belly, Rib, Thigh, Entire Knee, Shin Pain Relief - 15.5" x 7.3"

Works great

[for]Anyone who experiences lower-back muscle pain, I recommend this cold pack! The strap holds it in place so you can move about w it right where you need it. And here’s a huge plus... test this to make sure it’s right for you(I’m not a doctor and so this is just a personal recommendation based on my experience). Although they don’t recommend leaving the pack in place for “very long”, I sleep on it located on my lower back. This cold seems to break the “pain cycle”(muscle pain/tension- increased muscle pain/increasing tension and so on...but the relief seems to come from “freezing” the pain. So the cycle stops, WITHOUT PAIN PILLS! When I wake up, the pain is gone and I’m moving freely. Some might object to the cold. But I’m telling you!, the cold sensation is soon gone(perhaps because of the “freezing”... I don’t know. But I do know the cold feeling subsided from the cold pack and in the morning, the pain of (a) tensed lower-back muscle(s) is GONE without pain pills. Check w your physical therapist and or physician first so you won’t be injured or (if in your case) what I’m describing is wrong of dangerous. But in my case it works. I’ve been doing this(what I’ve described) for years without any physical liabilities. If you get cleared or you test it and it doesn’t seem to hurt, well, try it! Being free of lower back (pain free w/o pills!) is a huge plus. AGAIN, CHECK W YOUR DOCTOR FOR THE ADVISABILITY OF DOING WHAT IM DESCRIBING- in your case it might be totally wrong! If not- try it. I’ll be wearing my pack tonight because I have some pain today. Tomorrow morning, it will be gone. Maybe, it’ll work for you also.

When I have issues with my back or shoulder I get out this ice pack. Keeping the swelling down helps with keeping the pain level down. Sometimes I'm even able to get my spine somewhat realigned.

I have a painful sprained knee which my doctor said to wrap with ice pack 3 times a day. After hassling with crushed ice in plastic bags for 2 days, I found this on Amazon, ordered it before sunrise, had it at my door by suppertime. It works great, stays soft and shapeable after freezing, which only takes about 2 hours. It is secured with a sturdy, wide velcro strap that is long enough to go around my 42" waist when I tried it on my lower back. I haven't tried it with heat yet, but the quality of this product gives me confidence it will also work well that way.

It is easy to use and is really good for getting cold compress to more difficult areas and securing in place. I used it for my shoulder. Also works well on back and leg. The nice part is it has a covering tout between you and the cold part. The cold gets through and is very effective. I found cold usage was better than heat. The heat worked but only lasts a short while. The best part is it is comfortable and stays in place.

GREAT PRODUCT - VERY GOOD PRICE. A life saver. Back Saver too. ;-)

This is exactly what I was looking for! I have chronic lower back and hip pain. This is the perfect size and is so easy to put on. I have a bigger waist and there is plenty of room to adjust. It stays cold for a lot longer than the suggested 20 minute icing time. I haven't tried it warm yet, but I'm guessing it will be just as good. I couldn't ask for a better product!!!

Only stays cold for about 1 hrs under my lower back when I'm sitting or laying down.Gets very cold & works great, but doesn't stay cold for longer then and hour to maybe 2 hrs at most.
