ComforTrac-Deluxe Home Cervical Traction Kit 2.0, Neck Therapy, Discomfort Relief, Relieve Cervicalgia, Degeneration of Disc, Spondylosis, and More, Carrying Case Included

I have cervical stenosis with very painful left arm ridiculopathy. I’ve had epidural injections which worked very good for me.My Dr told me about this device so when my arm started tingling again (tingling starts before the intense pain)I immediately use it.It’s been about 3 mth of using it for 10 min when the tingling starts and I do not have any pain.Great product.

I bought this to relieve pain from a herniated disc in my c-spine. The device has 3 different incline settings which let you target different parts of your neck, depending on where the issue is. I had done traction previously in the physical therapists office and this is comparable to, if not better than what they had. I was using it for a few weeks when the pump started gradually losing pressure so that I had to keep pumping every second or two to maintain pressure. I emailed ComfortTrac customer service and got a reply in a couple hours to set up a time to talk. They called me at the time specified and we talked through the issue and they sent me a replacement pump, with absolutely zero hassles. The pump was easy to replace and now it works great.If you are looking for a traction device, this one is easy to use and made by a company that truly does stand behind their 3 year warranty. I can't recommend highly enough.Word to the wise - don't overdo it! Look up the recommended protocols and gradually ramp up the time and pressure. The first day I had it I went a little too crazy for too long at too high a pressure and gave myself a headache. I use a FIIT app to track intervals and do some time on, then a short rest. After my initial mishap, I started at 1 min on / 30 sec off for 5 intervals, at 10-15psi 2x a day. I have gradually increased the amount of time to 2 min on and the number of intervals to 8. It isn't a magic cure - but it does help for me especially because I find my neck hurts more the more time I spend upright, so countering that pressure is key to things not getting worse.

I have bulging discs in my lower neck so my doctor told me to get this product. It was a little pricey but when you are in pain you will try anything. I had to go to PT for 6 months to learn stretching exercises and good posture when sitting or lifting objects. After doing x-rays and an MRI my options are pretty limited. It's pretty much sticking it out with what I learned from PT or get surgery. So that's when my doctor suggested this cervical traction device.I been holding off as much as possible on the surgery because with what I learned from PT, the stretches and improving posture has helped a lot but there are still those days when my neck flares up and it does get painful and stiff. That is when I get this traction device and use it for 15-20mins. I found that the strap for my forehead was annoying so I use it without that strap and it works fine. You just have to keep balanced and straight on it while you pump it. Once you feel your head being pulled away from your shoulders, you can stop. I usually go about 15-20 on the gauge but find what works for you. It shouldn't hurt and it actually feels pretty good once you find the right tension with your neck getting stretched. You can feel your neck discs opening up and sometimes I actually start to fall asleep on it. However, it says not to use it for too long so make sure you put an alarm. Also my physical therapist not to use it too often either. Once or twice a day should be more than enough. In the beginning I was using it almost daily but now I have been only using it on the days that are bad which is maybe 2-3 times a month. As long as I do my stretches, I'm usually ok but I am really glad that I have this product as a backup on those bad days.I wish the price was lower which is why I'm giving it a 4 star but I have to admit, the build quality is very good. It feels industrial and it also comes with a very nice carrying case if you need to travel with it. So you get what you pay for. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend you checking this item out. I have tried other cheaper options in the past before I bought this product and they were no where near as good as this one.Hope this review helps you out! Thanks for reading.

Why go to the chiropractor to have your neck pulled? I’d like the fact that I can have pain relief at home. I have dystonia of the neck and this works out well for me. I feel a difference immediately.

The pump gauge does not hold at your desired level. When I pumped up to 30, the gauge immediately starting spiraling backwards, thus releasing the tension so it did not hold the traction. I have used this same unit many times and know how it should work.Will be returning.
