Had X-rays after feeling like I had pinched a nerve near my shoulder blade. Turns out I have military neck—meaning my neck is as straight as a steel pipe as opposed to naturally curved. The pain is debilitating, which makes being a working mom a living nightmare. My doc gave me muscle relaxers and steroids, but they’re just temporary bandages for a long term problem. I ordered this cervical doohickey to restore the curve in my neck. I literally received it this morning and have already used it for two 20 minute sessions. The crunchy crepitus noises coming from my neck were alarming, but my pain has resolved considerably. I never leave reviews, but I am so shocked that a few hours with this thing did more than a week of meds and a trip to a chiropractor, it warranted this long winded endorsement.

In this craziness of 2020, I am having the worst TMJ pain of my entire life. It is affecting all of my life. The tension down my neck and shoulders and even into the middle of my back is terrible. I have been lying on this funny looking little thing for at least 10 minutes once or twice per day for the past several weeks and I truly believe it is helping me with overall pain relief. I know that it gives me relief from tension for a period of time immediately after I use it. It helps me fall asleep faster if I use it before sleep. The 10 minutes that I lay on it are wonderfully relaxing. I focus on my breath and feel the tension ease out of my neck, back and shoulders. I can't really explain how amazing it is. I love it and would recommend it for anyone with neck, shoulder or back pain related to tension. I call it the "blue frog tongue". LOL! that's what I think it looks like. Thank you so very much for making it.

I work at a desk all day, and after getting Lyme disease my neck would constantly hurt from misalignment. After regularly going to a chiropractor for years he had to close his practice over a mandate. When he closes I looked into ways to stretch my neck out and found this. I was skeptical. After not going to a chiro for 2-3 weeks I would usually be in too much pain to think, so I would go weekly. Well it's been a few months now and this has helped me tremendously. I haven't had a misalignment since using it. I'll still get occasional soreness but it goes away in a day or two vs a week or two. For me with chronic neck pain the difference is being able to stretch and re-align 3x a day and not having to wait 1-2 weeks. It's been a game changer! The only thing to note is your family will give you looks until they get used to you using it. I choose the living room floor 🤣

Honestly, I bought this particular traction device because of the one hilarious Q&A about this being made out of actual sea monster... but on a serious note, IT WORKS. I was in the process of moving, and ended up in the middle of an 8 car pile up on the interstate. Was I hurt? Not really. Was I sore? Absolutely. Did I have minor whiplash? YOU BET. After a couple of days of ice, advil, hot showers, and icy hot, my neck still hurt. I'm not as young and spry as I used to be. My chiropractor had very limited availability due to COVID. Finally, because I love not being in pain and actually getting some sleep, I hopped on Amazon to find some relief. I am extremely familiar with my body, and my body's needs. I knew that, for me, going to the doctor would result in a bunch of scans that would cost me money I don't have. I knew that I needed a cervical traction device.... and I am SO GRATEFUL that I purchased THIS ONE. The key to it is to breathe slowly and deeply while the weight of your head stretches your cervical collar out during the breaths. Even after recovering from the accident, I still use this for 5 minutes nightly before bed, and 5 minutes in the morning if I slept funny. I'm saving money by not going to my chiro, and it's lightweight enough to take with me when I travel. Well worth it!! NOTE: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. IF YOU ARE INJURED, CALL 911, OR GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. AS A FORMER EMT, I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO FORGO MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR THIS DEVICE. I'M SIMPLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS WORKED FOR ME, AND MY SITUATION. THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!!... I NEVER write reviews, but had to with this! Results are as promised; Finally a product that does what is stated/promised! I am a petite woman (5’2”) and thought it might be too big for me... However, it isn’t—perhaps, b/c if the incline that supports the upper back & shoulders. It’s not like a cervical roll, which are always too big for me. This was the 1st time I used it, and was getting a migraine. A perfect scenario to test the product ...It passed with flying colors! OUTCOME: An aborted migraine headache, WITHOUT MEDS!!!! The muscles of my upper back & shoulders were relaxed quickly, and put me in obvious alignment. Once in alignment, I raised my arms above my head and rested them on the ground, then motioned like I was reaching for something while staying in the aligned position. basically, I was kind of mimicking when the Chiropractor gently pulls on arms to stretch out back. Doing this relieved most of my back discomfort I had, and extended all the way down to lumbar region. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT—5+ I doubt anyone would regret the purchase; It is well worth it! BTW, it’s been 3 hours and my migraine has not returned! THANKFUL!! Best practical product I’ve ever purchased on Amazon! Thank you to the inventor/product developer!!!! Bravo! 🤗⭐️🏆🎯

The media could not be loaded. 🤩🥰Absolutely amazing for pain relief range of motion headaches tension and shoulders and back!!! Bought one for myself then for my sister then for my mom now planning on buying several more for people I know. Gives me so much relief every time even a short 5 to 10 minute session. My mom has chronic neck pain, fibromyalgia lupus arthritis & migraines - she used it for 5 minutes and got rid of a headache, had better blood flow and range of motion to her head and neck, Even her roommate uses it now!

This came in today and I just used it for 10 minutes. The instructions it came with mention that you should put your hands above your head, resting on the ground (like a goal post). I didn’t see that in these online instructions or in the photos, but I did it that way anyway. As soon as I laid back on it, I heard/felt several pops in my neck. And then that happened a couple more times while using it. Try to stay still while using it, and not turn or move your neck around. When I sat back up after 10 minutes, I had a strange/intense heat sensation in the back of my neck. It was not painful, but very strong, and I took that as a good sign. I am very curious what that meant if anyone knows! After that passed, I started to move my neck around and stretch it some and it was noticeably looser - I thought my head was going to roll right of my body compared to how tight it was before. I look forward to continuing to use to see what kind of results I get after consistent use. Hoping this will help me get away from tolerating persistent neck pain and tight neck/shoulder muscle.

I got it because Jen Hamilton on TikTok had it and it’s been lovely. I hold all my stress in my neck and traps and I work a ton as an EMT so it’s a great thing to relax those muscles and stretch. My achy back loves it. It’s so simple but great. (Jen Hamilton has a link and I bought it thru that)

After reading through these reviews before I purchased this item, I noticed that a lot of people had talked about it being uncomfortable. I don’t think that people understand that the only way this will be comfortable is if your spine is already in perfect alignment, which I don’t think most people who are trying this are. It will be uncomfortable to move your spine into correct position. It shouldn’t be overbearing, but definitely some discomfort until you resolve the issue. I used it and could immediately feel a difference in my shoulders and neck. It was a good stretch and I could tell just how out of alignment I truly was because I was headachy and a little sore the next day. The more you GRADUALLY work with this, the less discomfort you will have when using it. It is not made for comfort, it is made for adjustment. I do think that it would be comfortable if I was in the correct placement for my spine though. I definitely recommend this product to anyone with tightness in the neck and shoulders, but you should definitely know what to expect when you start. It isn’t an over night it’s magically better kind of thing, it takes time to work things out, just like it took time for them to get that way.

As of May 10th, I’ve used this for a full session (~20ish minutes) only once. I did this on May 8th. I’ll update this in a few months. That said: I’ve had horrible TMJ for the past 4 years after my wisdom teeth surgery. Jaw-locking, grinding sounds, pain, mild change in face shape, inability to open my mouth straight without training my muscles a lot of jaw gymnastics - I had all the works. The biggest pain for me was the inability to open my mouth properly, as the maneuvering it took to compensate definitely felt like it was making my TMJ worse and more painful. I am happy to report that for the first time since the day I came home from surgery unable to open my mouth more than a few centimeters, I can finally open my jaw straight without having to slide it to one side first!!!! While I do still experience the popping sound while eating, it is definitely not invasive and not something that bothers me. I think it might be quieter now, but I will know for sure over time. I also still hear the grinding/pop-rock type sound in one joint occasionally, but not often. I have not had pain yet. I’ll start taking some head-on pictures to compare my jawline to older head-on images I have as I continue to try this out. Hopefully in a few months I can say these effects are here to last. I am so thrilled to actually be able to open my mouth all the way again. I thought I would need surgery (I have a connective tissue disorder that makes issues like this more severe, so I found little success with exercises other than mild improvements). So this is HUGE for me. I bought this for my primarily for neck as it has begun to ache occasionally over quarantine. I did not have any hope that it would help my TMJ, save for maybe a very tiny tiny sliver. I’ve never heard of something like this helping someone’s TMJ before, so I was very skeptical. I still can’t believe my jaw is one huge step closer to how it used to be. I’ve regretted getting my wisdom teeth out since the moment I realized I could never open my mouth normally again. I’ve never been more glad to be wrong. My neck has also not been sore and has felt great, but that’s definitely been overshadowed as you can see. My jaw has plagued me much longer. I know when I see raving reviews, I am sometimes skeptical that they might be paid for. Please know this is not paid. I just am really excited. I will certainly update this in a few months to see if this continues to be beneficial for me. As of now, I definitely recommend giving it a try. Amazon makes returns really easy, so testing it shouldn’t be too much of a pain :)
