Product Reviews of Sacro Wedgy Female Version
Product Review: Caused tremendous pain for me! If suspected arthritis, beware!
Summary: 1 Stars
I had high hopes for this product and believed that perhaps it could help me find a bit of relief with my SI joint pain. After using it and experiencing INTENSE pain with pressure on the SI joint, I believe that I either have a small fracture or some sort of arthritic condition where this product would not work for me.
I believe if muscles are involved (or other soft tissues), this would probably be a great option. I am experiencing more advanced SI issues most likely due to several knee reconstructions in the 80's and differing leg lengths (my postulation). The pain has been really, really rough and I bought this device out of desperation thinking that perhaps some kind of adjustment might help. I was wrong, this device caused a tremendous amount of pain for me and I had to return it.
If you have soft tissue issues, this would probably be great. If you have degenerative issues (as I am discovering I have), this could potentially do more harm. Before purchasing, just understand what issues you are working with in your SI joint. In sum, great for soft-tissue issues but not so much for anything degenerative.
For my issue, 1 star.
UPDATE: After a Lumbar/Sacral MRI it was discovered I have facet syndrome and disc degeneration. This was not the right option for me. Keep that in mind if you buy this product. You may find the product SPINAL STRETCH Portable Back Pain Relief which I use and have reviewed.
Product Review: Couldn't believe it but this really works!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a lingering lower back, sacro area pain for about 3 months and nothing seemed to be working to heal it. I had both an xray and MRI and the doc said since there was no evidence of a disc or pinched nerve or any kind of tumor; I must have just pulled something. He recommended physical therapy, massage and stretching exercises. When I ordered this item, I would have tried pretty much anything.
However I was shocked that after using the Sacro Wedgy once I felt a major improvement and then after about a week - the pain was gone! Clearly I had misaligned something and the Wedgy was able to get me back in alignment but the quick improvement was a shock to me.
Yes I recommend this - if nothing else has worked why not give this a try?
Product Review: Didn't Fit!
Summary: 1 Stars
So there was nothing in any of the description to let you know which version of the Sacrowedgy you should use. Even on the manufacturer website it alluded to some women "might" need the male version. Well, I'm not THAT tall. I'm around 5'7" tall. Well, I get the sacrowedgy and try it out and never can seem to get it positioned correctly after reading and re-reading (several times) the directions. Then I notice the small statement on the box, "some taller "(5'7"+) females with a longer, more narrow torso may do better on the male SW".
Ok, so that was the first place anywhere that it actually gave sizing. And even then it's very unclear as "may do better". So basically I'm on the border of the "female" version isn't working, and I don't really have a narrow or long torso either. But now I will have to pay to ship this item back to amazon and try the male one. But it could be that neither version is going to fit my body.
Product Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm dealing with SI problems. This little device has been really helpful at times. A couple times when I've used it, I could actually hear my spine snap-crack back in place. I do self-manipulate in addition to using this device, which helps a lot. I find that combined with this sacro wedgy I get better results. Still, there have been times when I needed to get a doctor's adjustment despite this device and my self-help techniques. Regardless, I feel it was really worth the money, and it's a very helpful tool.Product Review: GAVE me a backache
Summary: 1 Stars
I too bought this product based on the reviews and then looking it up on the net. It did not work for me and, in fact, made my back feel worse.
I have a history of back pain. Mostly in my sacrum and in particular my psoas muscle. When I started using it my back was in pretty good shape (after a year and a half of serious stretching and massage therapy). But like the the sacrowedgy people say, best to deal with the issues before the hurt sets in (I am paraphrasing), so I set myself on incorporating it into my daily back routine. Morning and night starting with 5 minutes each time and increasing that time each day and backing off if it hurt.
At first when I was sore I was thinking that I just needed to get used to it. But by week three I found myself in nearly full blown back pain again. I wanted to attribute it to something other than the sacrowedgy, but lo and behold I ditched it from the routine just to make sure and the pain slowly subsided.
I know this may be the answer for some and I fully understand the desperation to relieve back pain. It left me bed ridden and hopeless for a while. But, if you buy this and find it is causing the least pain, by gosh do not be stubborn and foolish like I was and just pitch the darn thing!
