About the Lumbar
The NICE1 Lumbar Wrap is shaped for the lower back, sitting across the lumbar spine and the surrounding paraspinal musculature. It's commonly used in the days following lumbar disc surgery (microdiscectomy, decompression) and for acute lumbar strains where inflammation is the primary symptom. Cold therapy is well-supported for the acute phase of lower-back pain; the NICE1's controlled compression cycle adds an extra dimension that ice packs alone can't deliver.

How NICE1 wraps work
Every NICE1 wrap is a body-shaped sleeve that holds the cold and compression cycle exactly where you need it. The wrap connects to the NICE1 machine with a single quick-release coupler and uses water — not ice — to circulate cold across the joint. Inflation cycles deliver gentle, controlled compression to clear inflammation and improve outcomes. Wraps are interchangeable, so a single NICE1 unit can treat the knee one day and the shoulder the next.
