Dr. Ho's Decompression Belt

I called three months ago and gave all my information, and I'm still waiting for an answer from them and/or my belt. I truly hope they haven't gotten approval from my insurance and just didn't send it to me!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have a herniated disc and a slipped lumbar 4-5. I saw a surgeon that told me I needed to have a front and back spinal fusion. I saw the infomercial on TV and was convinced this could help me. My pain was from 0 to 10. A 10+++++ going down my left leg causing foot drop.

I received the Dr. Ho’s belt, slept with it on and wore it 24/7. Inflating it 3 times a day for 60 minutes. The first day I did this, I went to a pain level of 0! I went to a follow-up visit a week later with my Neurosurgeon, told him I’m pain-free, showed it to him, and he said this belt is the best thing he’s ever seen because the traction concept is right on! I told him I’m not having surgery when I’m totally pain-free. He then told me to go out the back door and do not tell any of his patients about this belt or he’d go bankrupt. LOL.

That was 6 months ago. I am now only wearing it as needed because my back doesn’t hurt except when I’ve had a very busy day working as an RN in surgery. Thank you, Dr. Ho, for saving my life!

I bought a knock-off of this belt on affiliation three weeks ago for $39.00 with shipping included. I have had severe back issues for almost 30 years. I've had pain pills, physical therapy and almost went for surgery. Out of desperation, I bought the belt and was amazed. The first time I used it the pain went away in 10 minutes. I now use it every morning for about 1 hour. The one problem I've experienced with it is, it makes your back sweaty and itchy if worn too long, but that's a small price to pay for back pain relief. Please know, I am not being paid for this review, and have no affiliation with this company. My honest opinion for this product is it really works! Hopefully, anyone who tries it will get as much relief as I have.

After calling them and getting set up, I received a call from Victor yesterday (2/8) stating my doctor did not give the ok for the belt. This is 5 weeks after I did all the paperwork with them.

I called my doctor's office the day they told me to do so telling them to look out for a fax for my doctor to approve. Once again this was 5 weeks ago, and they said no problem, so why Dr. Ho’s office waited so long to get back to me is unknown.

There is no way my family doctor would have turned the belt request down without calling me first. All I can say is the service is not very good.

I was okayed by Dr. Ho’s office that my health insurance would cover the belt purchase early January.

I WOULD NOT recommend this device!

I had one of these after my operations, lack of a better word, it’s a joke! It does not work like they claim, very uncomfortable. It leaks down, and did I mention VERY UNCOMFORTABLE?

As a long-time sufferer of osteoarthritic pain, I have tried a lot of things to relieve the pain. I have tried pain-relieving drugs. They DO work, but there are side-effects. I have tried regular chiropractic care, and that helps A LOT.

Then I found Dr. Ho's 2-in-1 Back Relief Belt. WOW! I felt a little relief after the first time I inflated the belt, by my experience is after I got used to it, it worked better and better each time. I supplement my use of the belt with regular chiropractic care.

I have been diagnosed with severe degenerative osteoarthritis, so Medicare now covers most of what I try for pain relief. My chiropractor accepts Medicare Assignment, accepting what Medicare pays him as full payment. Medicare paid the cost of this belt, so there was NOTHING out of pocket. I found the claims about this belt to be ABSOLUTELY TRUE.

My results were NOT miraculous, but after the 3rd and the 4th and the 5th treatment using the belt, I have less trouble getting around. I know the results are not imagined, because my chiropractor has noticed an improvement. Like he said, I had nothing to lose by TRYING the belt. So I tried it, and now my chiropractic adjustments take less than 20 minutes!

I was skeptical, but when you are in tears and falling due to a lower back condition, what the heck. The belt has helped me tremendously. I am 71 years old, and have a couple of part-time jobs that I am confident I can now do. You have to do it daily and do some of the exercises too, but it works for me.

The very first time I used the belt I wore it upside down (the inflation tube positioned on the bottom of the belt on my right). IT HURT! I had to remove it within 2-3 minutes. The next day, I decided to try it again. I actually read the directions and positioned it correctly (with the inflation tube positioned on the top of the belt, my left side). It worked great while I was wearing it but as soon as I took it off the pain returned immediately. Obviously not able to wear it 24/7, but when it is used and used correctly it works!

This belt actually made my back worse. Wore it one day for 10 hours driving and I have new pains I didn't have before. Feels like I pulled my back out all over again. I suppose it's possible that I overinflated it, but isn't that supposed to be the way it is?

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Best yet, and I have tried a lot of things for my back. I injured my lower back in 1990, tried chiropractic, pain medication therapy. Since receiving my belt, I am pain-free. Thanks for making this great product.

I purchase one of Dr. Ho Belt and I also received one as a gift, so I decided that I didn't need two. So I decided to send the belt back that I purchase because it was never used and I have been given the runaround. I have left messages with the customer service voicemail because their phone message states to leave a message and they will get with me. No one has ever called me back. They advertise that if you are not satisfied with their product you can get and receive a refund when you return the belt. Well, my 90 days are up for a refund and no one is helping me. I wish that I never purchased this belt because it has been nothing but a headache.
