Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wanted to write a specific review and thank the makers of this device as I can't imagine anything they could change to make it better, and its also reasonably priced. My injury: So I suffered a whiplash type injury, in an unusual way: Falling asleep wrong. I was up late in my computer chair(the one I had at the time had a low back) and when I fell asleep, my head fell backwards. I woke as this happened and startled awake. As my muscles contracted to stop my head falling backwards, I heard a sound like 2 wood blocks hitting each other, and had a VERY BAD(10 out of 10) sharp pain in my neck. I sat there holding my head for at least 10 minutes - I honestly thought I would need hospitalization for a broken neck. Worst pain of my life. However within 30 minutes I felt better, just a sore neck, and went to bed. I was very stiff and sore in the next the next day(but never thought of it being a whiplash injury, just an Im An Idiot injury. I bought a computer chair with a high back the next week. Over the next couple weeks the neck soreness went away and I wrote the whole thing off. 2 years later(yes, no kidding) and I had been to the doctor a few times because I just generally got headaches more often than I had normally in my life(2-3 headache days a month, and occasionally the headaches would last 2-3 days). I had a brain MRI about a year after the injury, it showed nothing wrong, no tumors, nothing to worry about. Around 2 years from the injury(I had completely forgotten about the incident, didnt relate it to the headaches), I had started working out again and noticed my neck muscles(traps muscles) were like ROCK HARD within just a couple days of starting to work out. I thought, hey great. But then the neck pain and headaches came back, with a VENGEANCE. I would have neck pain and headache symptoms almost every day, and even had a headache that lasted a week. I woke with it, went to bed with it, would wake in the night with it, and it welcomed me to the day the next morning. I was done with whatever this nonsense was. I went back to the doctor and he found several VERY sore spots on my neck. I found moving my neck could 'amplify' the headache from its steady 2-3 (on a pain scale of 1-10) to bursts of 8-9. Take your breath away pain. He suggested I get an MRI on my head and neck. The MRI was conclusive - I had no spinal issues in terms of bulging disks or anything, but I had what the neurosurgeon who review the MRI called 'classic signs of a whiplash type injury(swelling and fluid buildup where the neck attaches to the skull). I next went to a chiropractor, who determined that the headaches were from tight muscles in my neck and shoulders, especially on the right side, holding my neck in a twisted position and pinching a nerve root on the right side. She showed me the position of my neck and the nerve root on a model in her office. She made the adjustment and BAM. What a feeling of relief. Only problem was - this relief lasted about a week. Without a way to relieve the pressure on the neck/damaged area, the muscles eventually contort the spine again, and the nerve pressure that causes the headaches returns. My neurosurgeon had suggested physical therapy to relieve the stress on the neck and break up the muscle tightness. A TENS unit, and some sort of neck traction therapy. I got the TENS, and it helped with temporary relief of pain. However once the TENS was shut off, there was no lasting effect. This device for traction therapy was different in that regard. Not only did it provide relief from pain as soon as inflated, the head rush/euphoric feeling in my head has now lasted nearly an hour after removing it. I can immediately tell that I am treating the cause of the problem instead of symptoms of the problem, with this device. THANK YOU for this great product. Wow.
