UTK Massage Far Infrared Heating Pad for Back Pain Relief

I have had some lower back pain for the last two or three weeks and nothing seems to have worked. I’ve tried my other heating pad that I have, but they never seemed to stay in place so when I found this belted version of a heating pad that went around your waist. I thought I’d give it a try. It worked out wonderfully! It comes with a wide belt that attaches via Velcro and keeps the heating pad in its place. It has a maximum temperature of 159°, which is very comfortable and I noticed it feels very warm when I have it on and sitting in my recliner, it also comes with a vibration feature, which is not to be mistaken with a typical massager. that you can buy. Those have those little balls in it that knead your body. This is more of a vibration buzzing type situation it buzzes for 1 to 4 seconds and then stops and then repeats for about 10 or 15 minutes. It feels wonderful. The noise that it makes at first is a bit annoying but after a few minutes, it’s barely noticeable to me. I can’t say enough good things about this massaging heating pad belt by UTK it does what it says it does and remarkably after only a couple of days, it has relieved much of my pain so I would highly recommend it to anyone who has lower back pain and gets frustrated with heating pads that just don’t stay in the right place.

This was an expensive purchase and I thought i was out of my mind for doing it. Ive now purchased three of these for friends and family. The heat is adjustable, it will get so hot it hurts if you want it to. Like scary hot. Its the type of device made for adults before all these stupid warning labels that read warning fire maybe hot and cause burns. This belts heat setting is amazing. I hope they never change it. On its highest setting which I've never used you might be able to cook eggs with it. It will take around five minutes or less to get to temperature. Once it does it maintains it really well. I am a big guy. The largest size fits. The vibration setting is helpful. I honestly find it annoying because I wish it would stay on vibrating full time but there is no setting for that. It vibrates for say 3 seconds and then its off for 1 or 2. Then back on. There are 3 of these settings, setting one my guess is 1 second on 1 second off. The vibration is strong enough that you can feel it. I wouldn't think it would help with the pain but it does. The heat is best but the vibration just helps loosen it all up. If I had to come up with a complaint it would be that some days I wish the belt had twice or even three times the coverage because my back is so bad in many places I find myself using this on my lower back, then I have to move this to my middle back and then move it again to my upper back. Im quite tall. This item helps alot getting rid of my back pain. I use it several times a week. And sometimes several times a day. Its worth every penny.

Vibration thing doesnt do anything for me but the heating (reason i bought it) works really well imo. Its a little pricey, but I like it ^_^ its comfortable and has a really good heat range, plus the cord is super long (can be a good or bad thing depending on the person, but I like it).

The heat of course is welcomed and seems to be effective. I got the pad with the vibration and a little disappointed there is no option for continuous vibration. There are only 3 options for different lengths of time. The bright red lights on the key pads make it impossible to read what they actually say. I have to keep turning the thing off and on to clearly see what they say.

I've purchased two of these UTK Heating Pad with Vibration Massage for Lower Back for loved ones that suffer from arthritis. That's how good these are. One has psoriatic arthritis, and the other is older and has arthritis and spine degeneration. I'm saying this so you can compare your issues with my purchase use and subsequent feedback and decide how it applies to you and your situation, which is what I did. This isn't my first UTK product, because the Infrared Heat is a game changer since it gets the heat deeper into the pain points. Yes these products are a bit expensive but not compared to some other Infrared solutions I've found. I'm on a budget, and I don't have room to throw money away on things that don't work. My experience with UTK products is that they are very effective where heat can be helpful in managing pain. The stones help hold, distribute, and push the heat deeper in a comforting way. The other UTK large heating pad products are absolutely awesome, but can be heavy for elderly hands depending on the size, and are not highly portable. This belt is a manageable weight and far more portable. It can easily fit in luggage for travel. The trade with the larger size is that it doesn't have quite the coverage as one of the big pads, but the coverage is still good. I love the fact that this product comes in the XL belt size to accommodate anyone, which has also meant it can be used in other ways like across the shoulders. I think the massager is a nice touch and worth the extra spend. You don't have to use it with the heat if you choose not to, but it does help with the soothing effect and it is nice to have. The massage function feels like a soft vibration, and when you are in pain it is just enough to get relief but not hurt from it. I've read some of the UTK reviews for other products that are negative. Other than feedback about defective product issues (which I have not experienced), I have to say this isn't necessarily a casual heating solution. In my house we see it more as a therapy tool, and we treat these UTK products with care - keeping them clean and put up when not in use. So far they have held up wonderfully with consistent use. When your day is rough it can help keep your pain from escalating. But you must be aware of how you are using it, because it can get very hot. For my loved ones, it provides non medicinal relief without side effects, and you can't put a price on that.

Due to a few fractured vertebrae in my lower back, I’m in pain all the time. I already have several products from this brand so I knew I could rely on the efficacy and I was right! It heats up very fast, the several different setting for the various vibrations really elevated the whole heating pad experience. My back tension just melts away after a few minutes but I feel like I could wear it for hours because it feels so good. It’s my new favorite, highly recommend.

Have replaced one with error codes and now the replacement has a fault causing vibration to stop working. Seems the wiring in the controller breaks easily. Since product does not work and does not last rated 1 star.

This became my favorite device after just one night. As a massage therapist for 14 years, I’ve tried nearly everything for muscle soreness and inflammation, and this vibrating infrared heating pad truly stands out. I’ve been searching for something like this for years and even thought about making my own because nothing else on the market measured up. UTK beat me to it and did an amazing job. The vibration and infrared heat work perfectly together. It’s comfortable, effective, and easy to adjust based on how much heat or vibration you want. It also feels like a great value for the money and it comes with a nice felt bag for storage. The quality, comfort, and adjustability make it feel like much more than just a basic heating pad. I’ll be using this device every night, and I think anyone who buys it will feel the same
