Paint Relief

Reviews

I bought the side sleeper pillow because of neck and shoulder pain and constant headaches. Well, after two nights the sore neck is gone. However, I have not been able to get rid of the persistent memory foam odor from the pillow. I put it out in the garage for about five days and nights, sprinkled and rubbed baking powder, sprayed "Febreze," sprayed rubbing alcohol, ran it in the dryer with the air setting, used a heat gun to make it hot, and sat on it for hours on end. The odor goes away for about an hour or so, then returns. I still use it because it ended the sore neck muscles and hope it will end my waking up with moderately severe headaches, Every morning, I take it out of it's pillow cover, place the cover and the two pillow cases in the dryer with dryer strips to remove the odor from the material. I then place the pillow in the sun and later sit on it to force the air that is trapped in the foam. I going to get a polyester pillow case for it and then place the cotton pillow case over it.

I have spent an unreasonable amount of money over the years looking for the perfect pillow. There's a pile of abandoned pillows next to my bed that just weren't right. If I'm going to spend that much time sleeping on a pillow, I want it to be perfect! And with this pillow, I've finally got everything I wanted! It is not your average foam pillow. This material is extremely dense and surprisingly heavy, which means that even though it feels very soft and pleasant, it has a nice amount of resistance and support. I actually use all sides of this pillow quite happily. I have finally found the pillow I can't wait to put my head on! I haven't slept this well since I was a kid and I have no neck or shoulder stiffness. I will never ever sleep on another pillow if I can avoid it. My search is over. This is The Perfect Pillow.

The pillow is just ok. It would have been better if it was contoured on both sides. It does get kind of warm and I thought that the memory foam would prevent this. Other than that, it is a good side sleeping pillow, as long as you don't change positions.

My husband was a chronic snorer. We tried everything. We "test" slept this pillow for him and I tested the Symphony. The first two nights I slept in peace. For the third night we decided to switch. He started snoring again! I woke him in the middle of night and switched back. I didn't care for the pillow but he says he sleeps better. This pillow is sized for someone 5'5" or taller. Based on his height (6'1", xlarge), he should have went with the Large pillow, however, the large seemed to high for him. You really need to try these pillows out in the store. Relax the Back and The Ultimate Back Store carry them in our area. The pillow is heavy and it does stink, but tolerable. It is a pricey pillow, but I would have paid more to stop the snoring! :)

Wow, this pillow totally resolved my aching neck. The shoulder "cutback" is the perfect angle to align my neck and shoulders and the breathing channels on each side work great. I'm very happy with it. The only 2 negatives I can think of are (1) that it smells pretty bad for the first week or two even after airing it out. This is typically of memory foam but it was more persistent with this pillow, and (2) also typical of memory foam, it can get hot; and because the carved out and angled areas are only on one side you can't flip the pillow over to use the "cool" side and still have the benefit of the shape. Nevertheless the neck pain relief makes it worth it. I've never traveled with my own pillow before but I'm seriously thinking about taking this one with me wherever I go.

This pillow took a little getting used to, but it got rid of my weekly neck-tension headaches, and for that it gets 5 stars. It is excellent for sleeping on my back, and good for sleeping on my side (but it seems more geared towards back-sleeping). The shape of the pillow makes it nearly impossible to sleep on my stomach, which in my case is a good thing since in that position I often crank my neck at night, which causes the headaches.

I've had this pillow for a few weeks now and will say that I have grown to like it a lot. It is one that takes a bit of getting used to but I take it with me now when I travel. Whether it is good or bad, I don't sleep as well with a different pillow.

My Arc 4 Life pillow was just delivered. It came with a short informational pamphlet which led me to their website. I was very upset to see that Arc 4 Life is selling the pillow for $51.95, almost $11 less than on Amazon. If this pillow is as good as the testimonials say, I plan on purchasing a second one for my vacation home. I will definitely buy the second pillow straight from the company. I had to rate the pillow to complete my review but I have not had a chance to try it yet.

I've had this pillow for about 3-5 months now, using it every night. I was having issues, while sleeping on my back my head would turn all the way to the side and when I wake up I was have very bad neck/back pain (lasting for many days/weeks). This pillow helps keep my head from turning to far to one side. I also sleep on my side, and there is a nice little pocket off to one side where I can rest my head and my ear is not squished. The pillow takes a bit of getting used to, but you can turn it around to get less traction or more on the other side. It does seem to be breaking down a bit more, maybe I've just totally adjusted to it and it only appears to be "softer" providing less traction. Regardless, my head is no longer turning to far to one side as I'm on my back, so I'm pleased with the purchase. I would buy another one.

Had a disk injury to my neck and this pillow made it possible for me to sleep without pain. Will probably never go back to a regular pillow.

This device helped my back and has loosened up the tightness that I have been dealing with the last few months. I had to widen the top of the head cradle. Being hooked together at the top caused a lot of pressure on the side of my head so I used a round 1" wooden dowel rod putting two screw-in hooks about 1" from each end and one in the middle. Reconnecting the head craddle helped relieve the pressure against the sides of my head. It does help and has eliminated useless trips to the chiropractor.

Not bad for the price. Don't use if you have jaw problems as it does put pressure on your jaw. However it did relieve my neck and arm pain as advertised.

This appliance is a good addition to my chiropractic treatments and acupressure massages. My spine needs manipulation to get it back in alignment through chiropractic . The chiropractic does not address the long term muscle spasms which have been helped by the Neckpro Traction Device and my acupressure massages. One caution is that one does not want to overstretch the ligaments, so judicious use of this device is important.

I was having severe problems with my neck shoulder and nerves running down my elbow, arm and wrist. This thing really has an affect on my neck issues but my pain was so intense that I couldn't be in it for more than a minute or two at a time. Over a month and a half, my neck got better but these injuries don't just get better in a day as I was hoping. Still, I was starting to think surgery was going to be necessary and I no longer believe that will be the final outcome. The only thing that I found was that the device caused my teeth to clinch and I found that putting in an athletic mouthguard helped. I bought four items from Amazon to try and work this problem out and would rate them as follows: 1) Neckpro Cervical Traction device: The best product that I bought to help me. 2) BodyBackBuddy: Really allows me to apply a LOT of pressure to any point on my back--Really great. 3) Doctor Riter's Real-Ease: Nothing special here. I found this to be only mildly helpful and probably won't use any longer. 4) The DaVinci Tool (Hard and Soft): I found these devices to be completely useless for my neck problems.

The device is well built. It allows for a controlled pull at an excellent price. To avoid extreme pressure on the jaws, I recommend using a mouth protector, like those used to avoid biting teeth while sleeping. Another point to keep in mind is the tightness of the nut to avoid getting while loose under pressure. Otherwise, it is an excellent product.

I had a great experience with this seller. They are very quick with shipping and communicate very well with their customers. This product has helped me so vry much and I will shop with you all again. I highly recommend this seller.

Wish I new about this before I went to the doctor and physiotherapist. I am vacationing in the States, I told the doctor I needed traction as it had worked for me in the past for my pinched nerve in my neck. He got me to see a Physiotherapist right away. I was given exercise to do which helped a wee bit. There was NO traction machine in this town. I stumbled on this by accident. Ordered and got it in 2 days. I am wearing it as I write. What a great contraption!!! I am going on a cruise in 5 days and this is coming too. Best $$$ I spent.

I struggled with chronic neck pain for years and this device really helped stretch out the muscles in my neck. Since using this device, I have stopped taking my pain medication because I find so much more relief using it. I recommend that a person see their doctor first before trying the device because as with any traction device, depending on the cause of their neck pain, it may either improve or aggravate the problem and fortunately, it has improved my ailment.

work. This cervical traction unit is a bust. Doesn't inflate firm enough to provide any stretch at all. It's shining point is; It's warm. Sad, as I had high hopes for an inexpensive WORKING unit.

This is my second inflatable neck traction. The first (a different type) lasted a year before it started to leak but was still partially usable. This one leaked the first time I tried it & could not be inflated well enough to provide usable traction.

My neurologist reccommended a neck traction device to releive tight muscles and headaches. On my first 10 minute use I got relief. I can't prove it was because of the devise but it seemed to be. Subsequent use has been very satisfactory. It is a bit awkward to get the harness on but once in place it's easy to use and effective.

I bought the NeckPro for the muscular neck pain that I was having. After I completed a series of Physical Therapy sessions, I wanted to continue the neck traction that I was getting at the Physical Therapist's office at home. I found the device to be very sturdy and well made. I used it on the sturdiest door I could find in the house, which happened to be the door that goes out to the garage, because the interior doors just did not seem sturdy enough. As other reviewers have mentioned, I put a rolled up dish towel between my chin and the head halter to make it more comfortable because it does put quite a bit of pressure on the chin and jaw when in use. I use it 2 to 3 times a week. I am glad I purchased it as it does help to relieve my neck pain.

If I had to do this over, I would probably buy this product again. Pros: This does relieve pressure in the neck. Cons: The door adjustment sometimes slips. I can't seem to get those wing nuts tighter. This pulls on your chin. After using this for a week or two, I needed more force during the traction. There jsut is not enough pull for complete relief for my neck. Then again, if it would pull any harder it would be more uncomfortable on your chin. So if what you need is light to moderate traction and have no jaw problems, this is the product for you. I need heavy traction and I have no jaw problems, so this is not the best product for me. But this is not a bad product by far.

I just received this device and let me tell you it works as advertised. I had a neck strain a couple of years a go which wouldn't go away. I finally went to my doctor and he sent me to physical therapy. As part of the treatment they put me in a traction device which worked great. The machine was a health professional model which probably cost thousands of dollars. I just recently had the same neck strain and purchased the NexPro. I was in so much pain that I ordered it next day shipping. Amazing! It worked as well as the therapists machine. I actually like it better. Some people did complain of discomfort around the chin. I put a soft scarf between my chin and the harness and don't have any discomfort. It's amazing how well this works. I recommend it 100%

This is an alright product for the price. It has a couple of design flaws that make it uncomfortable, but some ingenuity can fix that. The price is definately a plus and no water bag.

The product works but it's not for those that are prone to jaw problems. I was healed from TMJ many years ago but with advice from my chiropractor to get this to help alleviate neck pain I bought it. But started to get a sore jaw from it. So I can't use it as often as I would like. For those not prone to jaw problems it's a perfect product.

The neck brace I ordered came when promised and works as described. Directions have been clear and easy to follow.

I have dealt with scoliosis and cervical spine straightening due to being injured by a drunk driver for many years. While not a cure-all, this unit has helped alleviate pain and reduce some of the loss in sensation in my fingers. I agree with other reviewers that it is not for everyone. Those with significant disc herniation or narrowing of their cervical spinal canal may actually have their condition worsened by using this. Anyone considering buying this should speak to a knowledgeable chiropractor or orthopedic surgeon first. It is also important to use the unit correctly as improper use can also worsen one's symptoms.

Tried out by three people...hurt each person. The device is taken out of the box and looks so cheap, it's no wonder the thing doesn't work. I returned it one day after receiving it...I wouldn't pay $20 for this garbage

The posture pump looks like a medieval torture device (and I'm pretty sure it could be designed MUCH more aesthetically and also smaller). I spend 10+ hours/day at a computer and consistently have neck strain/pain/fatigue. This was recommended by a chiropractor. Believe it or not, I could actually feel a difference after the first use--more ease of movement and stress relief. Other family members (all skeptics with neck issues) had the same results. We didn't even remove the weird chin strap (which helps keep your head in place so it's your neck that actually moves and not your head.) I highly recommend it in spite of how it looks. (We also tried the Elliptical Back Rocker from the same company and have been less enthusiastic--although we are still giving it a try.)

I have suffered from neck pain; upper back/shoulder pain and stiffness for over 25 years since a whiplash injury. My cervical spine has also lost the natural curve and has been starting to curve the other way. This has led to almost incapacitating headaches. My chiropractor introduced me to this product and for the first time in years I am going for hours without a headache. This product has truly been amazing for me!

Helped clear up a sore neck that had gone on for weeks. Will travel with it so I can keep my neck feeling good. Nothing electric just a hand pump. Easy, quick and effective.
