Twinklepoch Cervical Neck Traction Device, Electric Air Pump Cervical Traction Device with 3 Power Traction and 8 Built-in Airbag Support, Neck Pain Relief and Relaxation

I've had neck & back pain forever. I've had many surgeries over the years. Although several worked, some didn't. Even with painkillers there are days that the pain is unlivable.This machine has been very helpful on those days. It's not a miracle or anything, it's just eases the pain so I can have a life.

I have been using the traction device for several months and I am impressed with the results. It's easy to use, comfortable and effective. The device feels sturdy, and the adjustable settings allow for a personalized experience. I recommend it for anyone looking for a simple at-home solution to enhance their well-being.

Stay away from this... I wouldn't give it any stars

While it does deliver traction and is easy to use (and yes the back/front sizing is awkward to reach and adjust), the airbag feature has some minor failings, at least for me. They bags are located too high: instead of inflating at the occipital ridge and giving support in the same plane as the chin cushions, inflation causes a distinct overall pushing up at its rear.This can, to a certain extent, be overcome by not using the airbags and tightening more with the fore-aft knob. However in my case this causes an overpressure side-to-side: this suggests that there ought to be some sizing options in that axis at the point of purchase.Overall it works pretty well and is fairly comfortable, so it gets a thumbs up.

The cervical neck traction brace arrived just as I was struggling with severe pain from over-doing it in a recent home repair project.Out-of-the-box it was easy to use, with minimal assembly: just connect the front and back, attach the air pump (which is really cool!) and you’re ready to go.The electric inflator pump is a great addition that delivers air to cushioning pads on the rear support. Turning the knob on the back clockwise assures a snug fit while clockwise rotation of the handles on each side lifts the front half to provide traction.The device feels very sturdy and the features are of medical grade quality. The quick-release connector on the pump lets air escape rapidly when you’re ready to take off the brace.I’m a veteran of far too many spine surgeries, now facing cervical spine surgery, and I’m very pleased that I bought this product to give my neck some relief from constant pressure on nerve roots.A big benefit of the device is that it supports your neck while giving protection from excessive movement or strain that could further damage delicate nerve roots, disks and vertebrae.I’m confident this brace is at least as solid as anything my surgeon would recommend. I’m very pleased.

Professional PT opinions about this device vary a lot. Some think it will do little good, as your body, under gravity, settles back to where it was after device application. Other opinions say it will work wonders. It has done no good for me. I have noticed no improvement in my neck nerve pinching problems. The best help for me was/is turning and holding my neck in left/right positions for 30 secs at a time. 2 - 3 sets of those actions have relieved my neck nerve pinching problems. I did not need this device. Your experience will probably vary. An orthopod I spoke with said not to worry about pulling too hard with this device.

Ok

I have three compressed disk and severe spinal stenosis in my neck. I suffered with the pain during the day and took pain meds at night to sleep. I decided to try the neck traction with the thought of opening up the compression of the vertebraes. Right away I noticed a big difference in my neck pain and head movement. I suggest starting without the pump and just concentrate on stretching the neck. Tighten the knob so the traction device is under the chin and against the neck. Raise it up until you can feel the stretch and leave it for the recommended time. As you feel comfortable tighten a little firmer around the neck and a little more extension. Once you feel comfortable with the stretch that works for you, slowly add the pump and air bags. I'm not a doctor this information is how the neck traction helped me. Of course if anything bothers you slow down or stop. Hopefully this helps your neck like it did for me.
