Does not work well and too big

I was told by my orthopedic doctor to try cervical traction for my cervical herniated disc c5/c6 affecting my c6 nerve root. It is suppose to help open up the discs so the herniated portion can ideally move back in place. I can tell you that this device does exactly that. As you pump up the collar with the hand held pump you can feel the air going in as it slowly inflates. You can feel your neck stretching out. To let the air out you turn the metal valve left to open it and allow air to leave. Turn it right to close valve and pump it up. Easy to use. Good price. Does exactly what it is suppose to do. I am 5ft 3inches and 180lbs and it tightens small enough for me with plenty of room to get bigger. I think this should be a one size fits all that will truly fit most everyone.Side note- this has no factor on your purchase but I did want to make note that stretching my neck is painful. Because it works so well. So go slow pumping it up and it’s easily adjustable to comfort with the valve. Nothing has helped me this far BUT this device is not to blame. This device has allowed me to be in compliance with my doctors recommendations of at home trial and error techniques. If you need to try traction. This will be perfect for you.

I have purchased and used 2 other brands, which did the job, but were not very comfortable. I had to put a cloth under my chin to keep the corners of the straps from scratching my neck. They also both started loosing air within 3 months. But this brand has exceeded all my expectations! It’s not as wide, as pumps up 3 smaller layers (instead of two larger layers) so it is way more comfortable. The air tube stays tucked in under the chin strap even while doing house work: The little ball or bead in the tube can be moved in or out of the tube so it never looses air!Because of my neck issues I have to wear it for long periods of time, otherwise my back muscles will start to burn ferociously… so I am especially grateful to have found a traction device that is both effective and comfortable! So please read the instructions before you use it!

I have had some neck issues the last few months and after several other treatment attempts I bought this product. I love several things about it, most the actual stretch. It does put some pressure on the ears but you get used to that after a while. It is soft and easy to pump up. I am not sure if I am doing it correctly or not but I don't think it gives me an even stretch like a traction. It lifts my chin higher than the back f my head. Other than that it has helped with the end of day tension I carry in my neck and shoulders.

First off I have a full, long beard, so I have to pump this thing up to about 2/3 full, slip it on then tuck the beard under the straps before inflating further. Mine had a very slow leak, so to maintain pressure during the 30min sessions you would have to pump it up 3 - 4 times. When inflated it kept riding up my face, probably due to the beard. Tried using it while laying in bed, doesn't work, you have to sit up straight with nothing behind your head and neck. I bought it because it was suggested my shoulder discomfort was due to my neck, sure enough they were right. Shoulder discomfort went away, neck felt better, but it gave me a headache every time I used it. It took about 2 weeks on daily use (I only used it once a day) to relieve the shoulder discomfort. So it did work for my circumstance, headache part sucked, but it did work.

So I read the reviews and decided to take the plunge. First critical statements were this was hard to pump up and REALLY? If you attach the hose properly AND close the nozzle (the little thing you spin) it takes all of about 30 seconds to pump up by hand and you can start feeling it fill up with air after maybe 5-10 pumps. I guess if you're very feeble and weak this could be a tough task for you but honestly it's not challenging at all and maybe I don't know 30 or so squeezes of the rubber ball and it was fully inflated.So out of the box, attach the hose (10 seconds) put on your neck and attach the Velcro straps to make sure stays in place (20 seconds), attach the hose to the squeeze ball (15 seconds), and make sure the nozzle nob is closed by turning it. Then start squeezing the ball to fill up with air (30 seconds) and viola that's it. In LESS THAN TWO MINUTES out of the box and item is on your neck, fully secured, fully inflated, and you can feel it work. To take off simply spin the nob by the squeeze ball and the air will start to release to deflate the item. Anyone who says this is difficult to use is unable to follow simple instructions and is the reason we have do not eat warnings on plastic containers.
