Cervical Traction Wedge Pillow

Love love love. It stretches out your neck. Like going to my chiropractor for an adjustment. Sometimes I slant the pillow flat and it’s like a regular hard pillow which I also enjoy and can fall asleep with. Chronic neck and tight shoulder traps. One of my patients recommend it to me while working in the hospital.

Relaxing!

This is not for sleeping on or for relaxation - it's exactly what it says - a traction device. This is solely therapeutic. Keeping that in mind, this is an excellent tool for someone like me who has occipital neuralgia and other neck pain issues from base of head and cervical spine. It allows for some readjustment and takes away some pressure. Don't use it for too long - you might become stiff. Directions are included recommending 10-15 minute increments (and I believe up to 30 minutes). However, the pillow is not as big as in the pictures, so keep that in mind, too.

So when I saw the glowing reviews for what looked like an overpriced wedge of foam, I was very skeptical indeed. But given the free returns policy and nothing better as an alternative, I bought this thing and started using it per the instructions to try to fix what was a really mess up neck (I couldn't even roll my head around my head without pain and let's call it "obstruction" of some sort). Started with 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 15 minutes regularly laying down on it (and listening to meditation to knock out two birds with one stone, check!). After one week, I could feel my neck didn't hurt, felt straighter and I could roll my head without obstruction, though still a little tenderness. One more week and whatever had been awry, was now fully straightened out - no more pain, full motion, feeling great.I now use it occasionally when I feel my office-days have been hard on my posture/neck, OR when I'm being good about doing my meditations, and I have not had an issue or pain in my neck since those initial two weeks. It is honestly and absurdly a miracle product for what it is, and it has fixed me beautifully with no need to visit a chiropractor or do anything else. And it will keep on giving because I can lay down on it whenever I feel the need to maintain the alignment in my neck - feels amazing. Would give 10 stars if I could!

Not a comfort item. It just did not work for me. Sharp edge to place your neck and didn't support the back of my head like it should. It is nicely made and arrived very quickly. Just didn't work for my little neck.

Lifelong reader, here, whose cartilage between vertebrae are worn down from looking down to read. My chiropractor wanted me to buy an expensive wedge from her practice, but I found this little option ... and oh my goodness, it is nice!It's firm foam rather than hard plastic - which I prefer. The hard plastic cervical correctors are much to hard for me.I started with 5 minutes and have worked up to about 20 minutes now. I can tell a distinct difference with decreased stiffness in my neck, better range of motion (I also stretch), decreased tenderness, and fewer low headaches in the back of my head.I usually slide it under my neck after my first alarm in the morning and lie on it before getting up, so its primary use is in bed. I also lie on it on the floor during the day sometimes. I move it around to hit different pressure points. Feels so good. Have also used it just before bed and have fallen asleep on it several times.Recently recommended this to my dental hygienist who has similar neck problems from looking down all day.

I bought this about a year ago and I didn’t initially like it. Enough time has passed and it is my favorite. It provides me with the right neck support. As someone who can never find a place for my head when sleeping, the is product has been a life-saver. It’s a great price, high quality, sturdy, compact and overall I’d recommend it!

Much smaller than I expected. The dimensions were in the photos and description, but I wasn't paying attention so that was my own fault to expect a bigger pillow. It is very firm, and that is what I hoped for, so that was a huge plus. The outer cover is very soft and perfect for sleeping.The crevice where your neck goes is too low for me though. I need my neck to sit higher and I turn it upside down so I'm sleeping on the straight edge instead of the curved part at different times during the night. I know it says to use it for only a little while but I am very comfortable using it in terms of discomfort on my neck.It is taking a while to get used to using this pillow as opposed to a regular pillow, as I am a side sleeper and it is pretty small. You have to turn over and stay in a very small space to stay on the pillow. My shoulders are squooshed, so I wish it was bigger or higher to accommodate side sleeping and still keep my neck and head at the correct angles. But if my neck and head stay in the right positions, as this pillow helps with, I wake up with no neck and shoulder pain. It will creep back during the day, but this is a huge deal for me. I have been struggling with this pain for years, before I even open my eyes. It keeps me awake at night and keeps me in bed all day. But some relief is better than none. I'm glad I ordered this. It's not perfect, but it does help.

Pillow has helped relieve neck pain and to gently stretch when needed.
