Good product, works well. It did fail within a few months of use, but when I called they sent a replacement no quibbling. Very good customer service.

Written by the company

Get pain relief for sciatica and back pain with Sciaticalm. Simple, painless and easy to use. Sciatica affects around 3% of women and over 5% of men in the UK. Caused by a compression of the sciatic nerve where it exits the spine the condition causes severe burning pain in the lower back, radiating down the leg and often into the foot. Developed by orthopaedic surgeons in the UK, Sciaticalm applies a precise frequency of signal to the sciatic nerve helping you to manage your pain. The Sciaticalm device generates high-frequency vibration to pass pulses through the skin to the sciatic nerve. Pain is transmitted as impulses in the large sensory fibres of the body and by applying a certain frequency to the area of pain, it interacts with the pain impulse transmissions, causing disruption. The pulses are effectively ‘scrambling’ the sensory impulses to the extent that they cannot be interpreted as pain signals by the brain. This helps to alleviate the pain from the condition. This is a treatment modality approved by NICE, the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence.

Sciaticalm Effectiveness

I think the sciaticalm is a remarkably effective way of dealing with the problem. It does not cure my problem but it has helped more than 4 visits to a professional private physiotherapist. I am now able to avoid taking Neurofen at strongest doses continuously when I use it 3 times a day. It is simply the best solution I have found in two years of trying to deal with my problem. Compared with the pathetic efforts of my GP and the NHS physiotherapy services it is a great relief to have discovered it.

Magical little box of tricks!

I had been suffering from sciatic nerve pain for 4 months before I bought the sciaticalm device. Painkillers proved ineffective and I was becoming more and more unable to walk and do daily chores. The device gave an instant improvement. The vibrations radiate into the pain somehow interupting the pain signals. I find it works better when worn under tight clothing where you can position it to the best advantage. I would highly recommend this little box of tricks.

Convinced an old sceptic!

Bought this for my 90 year old dad who cannot take anti inflammatory drugs. He was sceptical but after a few days reported that the pain in his leg was easing and the sciaticalm allowed him respite from pain so he could start walking about. He is now off all pain killers and almost back to normal levels of activity. I have only given 4 stars as I think it should come with clearer instructions about where to use it with different areas of pain. That said customer services were very efficient in answering my queries.

I cut my finger on the razor sharp…

I cut my finger on the razor sharp plastic case when changing the battery on the sciaticalm gadget.I thought I was doing the company a favour by informing them of this defect but instead got a really snidey reply from the director who thinks plastic cant cut! what an idiot we all know that even paper cuts! what an arrogant and rude person. I give them no points.

Using Sciaticalm has been a great....

Using Sciaticalm has been a great relief. In just over 7 days applying the device as instructed, 90% of my pain was gone and all those sleepless nights suddenly waken up by pain are now over. I could not drive my car as the intense pain in my back would not allow me. But now driving is a joy again. Sciaticalm has been truly magical. I can't recommend it enough! Many thanks

I would certainly recommend this product

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly this device improved my sciatica discomfort. Right from within the first 24 hours I started to feel an improvement and I was able to do a lot more with much less pain. I still use it regularly

Definitely worth trying

I didn't give this product five stars because the strap it came with was of no use whatsoever. However the device itself is really effective once I found a setting that suited me (one of the pulse settings) and when combined with a back support belt. Just shoving the device inside the belt is much easier than the fiddly strap anyway, this also allows you to move the device around until you find a position that works for you.
I would say its definitely worth trying.

Relief

Having used Sciaticalm myself and found it helped ease the pain. When my son started with Sciatica I also purchased one for him.
After three months and continued use my device stopped working. It was replaced immediately. I call that good service. It doesn't get rid of Siatica but it does ease the pain.

Back pain reduced , for me it did what it claimed

Due to an ongoing lower back pain which was felt down my left buttock and thigh I concluded I may have sciatica ( from a heavy horse fall 9 weeks earlier )
And found this product and thought it’s priced for me to buy at low risk as pills were not working for me
After 4/5 days using it 3 times a day for 10-15 mins the sharp pains have gone !
I’m surprised but happy too , I now use it about once a week if I sense a tweek in my back , but overall it’s 90% better

Very impressed so far with results

Very impressed so far with results. Have changed employment just as started with it but new job still requires lots of lifting and Sciaticalm appears to be working. Pain has reduced considerably so no longer need to take painkillers as I was doing. Still using the device three times a day as in Week 4 and will see how I progress after that. It appears to be the first thing that has made a difference.

Fell short of expectations

The device only comes with a very short strap so can't be worn on the lower back. The battery life is short and required changing after only 3 days.

While I think the science behind the device is sound, its design makes it impracticable. Improve battery life and supply a longer strap - two simple tweaks which would make a huge difference.

It has given me my life back

Before sciaticalm I could not walk more than ten steps or stand straight to cook as the pain was too much. After using sciaticalm for four weeks I can now go to the shops and walk my puppy for about 30 mins although still have pain it is not the agony I had before. Am very happy with results and will continue to use it. It has given me my life back

I purchased this device for my Mother…

I purchased this device for my Mother (age 76)who has been suffering from terrible sciatica pain for several weeks and had been prescribed increasingly stronger medications to cope with it. The meds helped until the sciatica improved slightly and since the sciaticalm device arrived she has gradually stopped the medications and uses the device 3 times a day,as recommended, instead to keep the pain under control which it seems to be doing enabling her to sleep better and go walking again so it’s well worth the money!
