Ever since I was invovled in a car accident a few years ago, I’ve had continuous neck pains. There were even some nights I would lose sleep due to the constant pains. After using this a few times, it drastically reduced the pains, strain and stress in my neck. The device is extremely easy to setup and use. I even advised my children, who have developed shoulder and neck pains after years of weighlifting, and they felt immediate relief. Love this product and thank you very much!

THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST INVESTMENT I HAVE EVER MADE!!!im 35 female. when i was a kid my c6 and t4 was injured. 4 yrs ago it decided to get so fussy the doctors started to test me for lupus and multiple sclerosis. turned out being neurological and 5 small bulging discs that equaled 1 large bulging disk. both c6 and t4 is covered in blood, a benign tumor, a hemangioma. SOUTHERN DOCTORS do no believe hemangiomas cause nerve problems like compression or pain. however if you go north, east or west they will tell you too read the actual medical studies written on this subject by many many doctors. i could not drive out of state to have sclerotherapy done in the condition i was in so i invested in this. there are no studies claiming this would help me, all i knew was that i felt like i was in a vice, crushed from the top of my head down to between my shoulder blades. when i tried decompression as my last resort. lying there in the first moments of some kind of releif i knew i either needed it dew to something not found or for my sanity for releif.in the year i have had this i have not regretted it not for a second. when i started i was paying a chiropractor to set me up to theres for 35 bucks a pop 3 times a week and it wasnt enough! after 3 months all of my savings ran out as i was having a hard time working. general repetitive labor.. hard worker… suddently i couldnt lift my right arm. i was peeing on myself, i feelt like my arm and leg was behing burned or stung, some days i couldnt stand or walk and the pain in my neck felt like a cross between a sword being lunged downward into my spine and some one putting a hot pan from the oven on my neck. i have never had pain except period cramps and migrains but this was something completely new to me.my 6 months of using this device 2 times a day im now back to work 40 hrs a week. not doing what i used to do but working, bringing money in. as long as i do not sit or have to be in car rides more than 5 min at a time and i sleep well at night and do not raise right arm quickly i manage. however 4 sentences ago i can tell sitting here doing this has been too much. my advice if you have neck and thoracic problems i would go to chropractor first 6 times and ask what settings they do. know how much pull there putting you on, figure out if the pull flat 180 degrees is better for you than say 90 because depending on whats botthering you will depend on what will make it pull were you need it the most. and it will take time to figure this out. you have to be patient! i would also advise that if you have people home when you do this make sure they cannot enter the room as you are stretching your neck!!! one flintch or nudge to this device hooked up to your neck can result in permanent damage! you want to tell every one to not knock! stay away! you lock the doors! put calming music on and do not speak! , the more you relax the better your results will be! yes do not speak, it requires using muscles that are being strained already. so relax!down fall is the pressure gauge does not tell you the pound weight like the devices at the chiropractors offices, or as advertised here. (YOU MUST GO BY HOW MANY CLICKS!) I DO 10 CLICKS, REST THREW 1 SONG, THEN 5 CLICKS, REST ONE MORE SONG, 5 MORE CLICKS, AND REST FOR ONE MORE SONG. THEN I PUSH THE BUTTON AND SLOWLY TWIST IT DOWN TO VERY BOTTOM. THEN I REST FOR THE COARSE OF ONE MORE SONG. THEN I GET UP AND ICE MY NECK, SHOULDERS, AND BACK FOR 20 MIN FLAT ON THE BED. AND I DO MEAN FLAT, NOT PLAYING ON YOUR PHONE! IF YOU HAVE A DISC OR SPUR YOU WILL WANT TO DO THIS WITH OUT IRRITATING AND LETTING THE SOFT TISSUE REST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OTHERWISE YOU COULD MAKE YOURSELF FEEL WORSE!. WHEN I DECOMPRESS I LAY FLAT, SOME PREFER TO BEND KNEES WITH HEALS AT BUTT. I DO NOT FIND THAT I GET RELIEF FROM THAT POSITION. I ALSO DO THIS ONCE IN THE MORNING. AND ONCE AFTER MY NIGHT SHOWER , 1 TO KEEP MY DEVICE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE AND 2 SO THAT I CAN HAVE MY NERVES IN MY SPINE RELAXED THE MOST AT BED TIME TO ENSURE THE BEST SLEEP THUS FEELING BETTER THE NEXT DAY!!! I DO HOPE THIS HELPS SOME ONE IN DESPERATE HELP FOR PAIN RELIEF WITH OUT OPIATES AND OR SURGERY.update. it’s been 4 years with pain now. almost 2 years with this device. when I started decompression my pain level was an 8 average. I was sleeping about 4 hours every 3 days. and yes that’s confirmed by sleep doc. when I first made my above review I was about a 6 pain level. now I’m at a average level of 4. I now only pull 10-15 clicks twice a day 7 days a week to maintain pain controle. as long as I do not sit, run, jog, or drive or be in moving car I do not have any major nerve pain so yes I stay moving till its time for bed. this is how I cope. however constantly being on the move or laying flat all the time is not exactly an ideal life but at least the pain is maintained to a tolerable state as I was getting to the point of preying for death it hurt so bad. with no relief you feel life is over. but feeling better has had me almost back to normal. pain changes ppl. fear of the pain makes you feel crazy. no sleep makes the pain and stress worse but will make you crazy! no one’s pain should ever be a laughing matter and life should never need be takin for granted. if you are like me and you have no options try decompression at your doctors office and if after 6 weeks you see improvement and know this will be long term treatment I would suggest buying this. every day I worry mine will brake. I say is this the day I have to go with out releif? and it says nope, click click click;) aahhhhh releif!

Purchased this product last month from Galenus Medical. Very well built and it works as specified. Very expensive and it probably would have more sales if this were cheaper.Reason I’m giving it 4 stars due to the following:1. Would wish that it could provide even stronger traction than it’s max design force as I feel that a little higher force would give me better relief…but that’s just me…2. The traction works by pulling on the bone at the intersection between the neck and the base of the skull and the device is “anchored” to the ground by friction using a strip of rubber. If the rubber fails, you will not be able to get the traction you’d need as the device will then slip towards your shoulder if you put in more traction using the dial.3. The strip of rubber mentioned above detached from the device after 2 weeks of usage and I had to use superglue to glue the rubber back to it’s track.4. An improvement to this device that I’d suggest is to design it to have the traction exerted by pushing against both the shoulders instead of relying on the rubber strip that is depending on the friction to “anchor” the device to the ground while performing the traction.5. Still using over the door traction device in conjunction to this to give me a little bit more traction force in relation to my comment on Point No 1 above whenever I feel that I need that little bit of force.But all in….possibly the best device to date.
