Living with chronic back pain and sciatica can feel overwhelming. In this series, I’m reviewing products I’ve personally tried to manage pain. Today’s focus: the BeActive Plus Acupressure System Sciatica Brace — a knee support device designed to target sciatic nerve pain, lower back pain, and hip discomfort.

What Is the BeActive Sciatica Brace?
The BeActive Plus brace straps just below the knee and applies targeted compression with a pressure pad. This pad presses against a specific acupressure point near the outer knee, disrupting nerve signals and helping reduce sciatic pain.

Does It Work?
I was skeptical at first — how could a brace under the knee help with back pain? But here’s what I found:

✅ It doesn’t eliminate pain completely, but it reduces discomfort enough to make daily life more manageable.

✅ Wearing braces on both legs gave noticeable relief while in use.

❌ Once removed, the pain returned. It’s more of a temporary “band-aid” solution than a cure.

Durability Issues
Over time, I noticed:

Fabric stretching

Plastic loops breaking (I replaced mine with metal loops to keep using it)

Because of this, I’m considering buying newer, more durable versions.

My Ratings
Usability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) – Easy to use and provides short-term relief.

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) – Wears out with consistent use.

Final Thoughts
The BeActive Sciatica Brace is not a miracle cure, but it can help manage pain during the day. If durability improves, it could be a more reliable option for long-term use.
