ComforTrac Deluxe Cervical Traction Kit

Feels much more sturdy than expected. Holds pressure well (one we've used in the past leaked and needed repeated pumping to maintain pressure - this one does not). Does what it's supposed to - relieves pressure to help reduce pain - my partner has a pinched nerve, and this provides some much needed relief. Not a huge fan of the silicone-type material at the neck, it's unpleasant to touch for those with sensory issues, but it is removable which makes it very easy to clean, so worth the trade off.

Works great. I have been using the device for short time and slready getting relief from neck pain I i had cervical foramonotmy on c1 thru c7. Am glad i got this device

I have bulging discs in my lower neck so my doctor told me to get this product. It was a little pricey but when you are in pain you will try anything. I had to go to PT for 6 months to learn stretching exercises and good posture when sitting or lifting objects. After doing x-rays and an MRI my options are pretty limited. It's pretty much sticking it out with what I learned from PT or get surgery. So that's when my doctor suggested this cervical traction device. I been holding off as much as possible on the surgery because with what I learned from PT, the stretches and improving posture has helped a lot but there are still those days when my neck flares up and it does get painful and stiff. That is when I get this traction device and use it for 15-20mins. I found that the strap for my forehead was annoying so I use it without that strap and it works fine. You just have to keep balanced and straight on it while you pump it. Once you feel your head being pulled away from your shoulders, you can stop. I usually go about 15-20 on the gauge but find what works for you. It shouldn't hurt and it actually feels pretty good once you find the right tension with your neck getting stretched. You can feel your neck discs opening up and sometimes I actually start to fall asleep on it. However, it says not to use it for too long so make sure you put an alarm. Also my physical therapist not to use it too often either. Once or twice a day should be more than enough. In the beginning I was using it almost daily but now I have been only using it on the days that are bad which is maybe 2-3 times a month. As long as I do my stretches, I'm usually ok but I am really glad that I have this product as a backup on those bad days. I wish the price was lower which is why I'm giving it a 4 star but I have to admit, the build quality is very good. It feels industrial and it also comes with a very nice carrying case if you need to travel with it. So you get what you pay for. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend you checking this item out. I have tried other cheaper options in the past before I bought this product and they were no where near as good as this one. Hope this review helps you out! Thanks for reading.

Works wonderfully and has relieved a great deal of pain already.

I got this hoping to help with my neck discomfort, and this product arrived damaged from the outside, since there is nothing to protect the unit itself. I am not even sure if I got a refurbish unit or what, but the product left much to desired. The pump wand (?) would not go past 20 when someone is laying on the product, also, the unit was unable to adjust the height angle to adapt to each person's need. Also, after a few more tries, the pump has a weird noise, like plastic creaking/screeching noise, which makes the unit very unpleasant to use. Do your homework first. I would not get this, spending a good fortune but still not getting the desired outcome of it.
