RESTCLOUD Neck and Shoulder Relaxer, Cervical Traction Device for TMJ Pain Relief and Cervical Spine Alignment, Chiropractic Pillow, Neck Stretcher (Black)

BE PATIENT - IT’S WORTH IT! WORKS!!! I absolutely LOVE this thing. I have cervical bone spurs, and cervical disc bulge at C3-C4, pressing on nerves that run down to my right hand, and incredibly tight neck muscles and traps. During the pandemic lockdown my pain and numbness was the worst. I was working a stressful job and getting little sleep. My right arm was weaker than the left, and my right hand would be numb for 30 minutes after waking up each morning. I was scared. The MRI showed the physical issues above; the doctor recommended a steroid shot and said I may need surgery one day. I put off the steroid shot, figuring I should try physical therapy first. I also completed my contract, got a less stressful job, and started sleeping more. I tried stretched but they were painful, and sometimes seem to make things worse. I don’t think I was doing them right. But when I started using this device, I couldn’t BELIEVE how effective it was. Every time I use this regularly, it’s like I’m buying myself days or weeks of pain relief. AND extra mobility— I can twist to look behind when backing up my car without stabbing pain now. IMPORTANT TIP: when I first got it, it hurt a lot to relax my neck in that position. My neck was so tight it felt like it was made of hot piano wires that were about to explode. No joke. So I would only stretch on the floor with it for 30 seconds, twice a day. Then I gradually increased to a minute, once or twice a day. Another review here helped - it suggested to breathe slow and deep, gentling letting go, let gravity do the work, as you are able to tolerate it. Eventually I would put headphones in, choose one relaxing song that was about three minutes long, and use that as my timer. I’ve been using it for about 6 months now, and my necks so much better that I only need it 1-2x per week now, for about 3 minutes. I’m almost convinced that all I needed was gentle, gradual, decompression, not surgery and steroid shots. Anyway, time will tell. For now, I’m sticking to this routine, and recommend it to anyone with neck and upper back pain. Thank you for making this stretcher!!

I've only used it a few times but after like 15 minutes or so I'm able to crack my neck in a way that does bring me some relief which is worth it to me for the price and simplicity of the product. I am able to use it on my couch sitting up, the back comes up high enough to hold the device in place, and maybe the gravity from still sitting upright is what gives it the "traction" effect that works for me, I'm not sure. But I only tried it once lying down and I don't think it felt as effective for my purposes as when I was sitting upright.

Lately I have been having migraines more frequently. I have seen a chiropractor and I purchased this neck and shoulder relaxer and it does help with stretching my neck. This seems to have helped elevate the frequency of my migraines, however, it does not get rid of a migraine.

I was diagnosed with BRP which can be caused by cervical compression. After an MRI showed as much I bought this on my acupuncturist’s recommendation & it has been such a relief. YES! It is uncomfortable at first, takes some time to get used to - but even after my first use, I felt like I had brand new posture. The compression has decreased to the point that I’m no longer needing ice packs on my forearms (BRP) and can sleep thru the night. BRP can be extremely difficult and this has been so so helpful

Neck and shoulder relaxer. My physical therapist recommended this for me. It didnt give me as much relief as he hyped it up but it was OK. However I passed it to a friend and she loved it . I need surgery on my neck so that may be why it didnt work as well for me.

The big question on everyones mind is obviously, will this cure me? Well, that answer is going to depend. I have had it now for 30 days. For myself, I have 2 herniations at C4 and C5, as well as a growth spur between C4 and C5. The spur has been there since birth, and in such, I have never known what its like not to be in pain in my neck. So for that question, will it cure me?, the answer is NO. But!, that does not mean it does not help. If you are like myself and find your neck tightens to the point where you can’t “crack it” (which for those who do not know, the most recent medical discovery for that “crack” is just air molecules being released from the muscles. Not “bone” movement). For the unable to crack scenario, this DOES help. The way I have used it is by first using the “traction” side (the one without the bubbles). I have to use mine while being on an incline like a wedge pillow. I did not get the specific pressure needed when laying flat. Using that side for about 10 minutes, with stretching of the arms backwards; I found that my neck would crack on its own. Then I would switch it over to the bubble side. That seems to work on the lower neck muscles. I read that people have found it “painful”. I think that is probably a case by case basis and tolerance for pain. As I said, I am already used to the pain so I kind of “enjoy” the pressure that allows for the escape of the air that is causing the extra tightness. As I have been typing this, I have been on the “traction” side and my neck has cracked on its own about 5 times. Another thing I have found is that I have not had to do the extreme forced neck twist to get it to crack. It does move a bit easier to get that deep relief crack from the pressure buildup. So in short; if you are like me and have a medical condition that can never be repaired. And your neck is always going to get tense because of the pressure build. Then this device will definitely help you control it. It won’t cure you, but it has made life easier. For the rest of you with transient pain…. Well, congratulations on being normal. It must be nice, so good for you.

For context: Had this product for 6-ish months now, I get debilitating headaches from neck tension. As someone who hasn't gone to a chiropractor, gotten adjustments, anything like that, this works pretty well! Very sturdy, flexible, and easy to use anywhere you've got a mildly flat surface. My only tidbit of advice would be, don't TRY to force this to crack/relieve pain in your neck quickly. It's tempting when you feel like the relief is right there, but this is much better for slow, gradual results. (The one time I forced my neck to crack on this device, by moving my head around all The Exorcist-style, the pain came back quickly and even worse than it had been before. Slow and steady wins the race!)

this really help control my neck pain. Lay on it several times a week and it gives me relief -. A bit pricy but I will use it domryimrd brgotr brf snf in thr motning. My chiropractor suggested it for me and he was right

Its one of my best amazon purchases. The quality is so good . I have a cervical disc & TMJ and it relieved my neck pain in 10 mins. Totally recommend this product

This is a wonderful product. It worked well for my neck pain. The product quality is good and long lasting.

I gave this a go as I had been struggling with neck and upper back pain. At first it feels very large on the back of your neck but stick with it, once you fully relax your head, neck and shoulders it feels so good. Too good in fact. The instructions state that it should be used for around 10-15 minutes then removed, but honestly I almost fell asleep. I found it more comfortable than my pillow. I would sleep on this but the warnings say not to. Regardless, it's great for stretching out your neck and provides much needed relief.

Very good for my neck
