Brace Direct Cervical Traction Device - Spinal Decompression & Neck Pain Relief, Herniated Disc & Spondylosis Support with Hot Cold Therapy - Portable - Adjustable Traction up to 40 lbs Black-Grey

This is an amazing product. I was having so much neck pain from a car accident for the past year that I was starting to lose strength in my left arm. My PT had me try one of these after measuring my grip strength and after 10 minutes, there was a noticeable increase in my grip strength. After 2 weeks of using it 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the afternoon, I am back to normal and do not even know I have a neck anymore, which is so insanely nice.

Easy to use, approved by my sport and spine specialist. He suggested I start with a small amount of traction increasing slowly and see how I do each time. I’ve had X-rays and MRI in my back so imperative that I am careful as my back and neck are “not good”. I use it in a massage table. Important to have a lot of surface or it just does not work correctly. It comes with good instructions. I literally took it into my doctor and we hooked it up on the exam table. I wanted to be certain that it was safe for my fragile, spine and neck.

On my device the pressure pump doesn’t function correctly. It seems to pump air in but the lever on the neck doesn’t move the head up at all half of the time. The strap that goes on the forehead and the padding that goes on the neck area seems to be missing unless it’s sold separately. The two parts that go under the back of your head to hold it and pull up literally click out of place and you loose all “grip”… I have emailed them on 1/1/26 to see if this is normal or just a defect on my one package but I haven’t heard anything back to resolve it…. Very disappointing…

After years of excruciating pain and trying, everything, this device changed my life and in such a short timeframe. For quite a long time I have suffered from debilitating, chronic pain from pinched nerves. Several chiropractic visits, physical therapy, and exercises are all part of the equation. While each can help as part of an overall treatment depending on situation, for me, none were solutions on their own. When I am compressed, this device provides incredible relief in a very short time. I do not feel like I am hostage to this and have truly regained my life. Note: The hand pump provides an initial pressure increase that causes the head rest to jump up and the device will quickly move up the track. Likewise on pressure release. Just be careful and it's very helpful. Overall: Take it slow, it works. If this doesn't immediately work for you, don't be discouraged. It may take some time, several sessions, and corrections to help the body.

Be mindful of the pump. My relief valve blew off somewhat violently. Lucky for me that it was not directed at my face.

If you feel neck traction would be helpful for you, then I highly recommend this Brace Direct Cervical Traction Unit. While it has a higher price than the other neck traction devices I've ordered, this one actually does what it's supposed to and in a comfortable way. In the past, I've tried several different neck traction products. I tried a neck traction product that went over the door. Even though you were supposed to be able to use it with the back of your head against the door, it wouldn't work that way. You had to smash the front of your face against the door instead – not comfortable or effective. Then I tried one that goes around the doorknob. The “bungee” was so long, I couldn't get any traction, and the top of my head was uncomfortably pushed against the door. Lastly, I tried the pulley system, also awkward and ineffective to use. You get the idea. While they may have cost less, they all went in the trash, every penny wasted and no relief for my neck. This product has changed that completely. It truly provides comfortable, easily adjustable neck traction. The pad that you rest your head on is comfortable and can be heated or cooled if you desire. You can adjust the “arms” that help to hold your head in place during traction and they are nicely padded and comfortable. The pump is easy to use, and the quick release feature works well. However, there are a couple things that I think could have been made better for such an expensive device. The head strap feels thin and cheap and is a bit awkward to put on. I have short hair but if you have longer hair, you'll want to tie it up, so it doesn't get caught in the knobs on either side that adjust the head support "arms". I had a bit of a time trying to figure out how to adjust the angle of the unit. When those knobs are at their highest point, you have the lowest angle. To increase the angle, you push the knobs in and move them down to the next level which pushes the base out thereby increasing its height and the overall angle. I found this much easier to do if I laid the unit on its side first. Even with these minor things, this unit really does feel of professional grade and is the first device I've ordered that truly works. Highly recommend!

easy to use works great

Does what it promises. Only complaint is the useless band for your head. Flimsy and doesn’t stay put
