Customer Reviews of ChiSoft Neck Traction Deluxe - Improved Model
Customer Review: Finally - Some Relief
Summary: 5 Stars
I've suffered from osteoarthritis in the upper cervical vertebrae for several years. The deterioration has resulted in what I call my "snap, crackle and pop neck" which causes the usual persistent pain, discomfort and numbness - not to mention tension headaches that would kill a horse.
I stumbled on this class of device while researching the Web for something better than the wraps and pillows that were becoming less and less effective. Folks suffering from various afflictions of the neck praised the level of relief it provided. There are several different variations on this design (stacked inflatable bladders) and I decided upon the ChiSoft based on pricing and reviews and, of course, Amazon availability and convenience. I ordered one in November 2010.
As things turned out, it arrived as I was in the middle of some severe stiffness and an accompanying headache. Seated upright in my recliner, I donned the collar and began pumping. As it began to support my head a wave of relief washed over me as my neck muscles were completely relieved of their duty supporting my skull, a feeling I had never before experienced prior to this. I continued to add some more pressure (much less than what could be considered traction) and became so relaxed I closed my eyes and fell asleep for almost two hours! I awoke with a feeling of refreshment I hadn't enjoyed in years. This is the best neck pillow I've ever used!
Since then I've used the ChiSoft two to three times a day and it's none the worse for wear. This is a quality item at a great price. I often wear it with just enough pressure to support my head for activities that place a lot of stress on my neck. Like extended sittings at my computer. Writing this review...
While in my situation, the greater levels of pressure (traction) I sometimes use won't provide a cure of any sort, this device nonetheless has improved the quality of my life.
In the accompanying instruction sheet is the cryptic #2: "Squeeze the air lock out of the middle of the tube." The air lock is a little ball that lives in that bulge in the tube. Pinching the bulge and the tube is how you move the ball back and forth to seal and unseal the tube. Please see the image I posted which I hope will help clarify that. Obviously, the tube is not sealed when the ball is in the bulge and vice versa.
Tip: should you find that you've inflated the collar to the point of distress or pain you could over react and fumble with the air lock and deflation valve. Instead, just pull the Velcro straps to open the collar for instant alleviation.
Whether you use this as a custom neck pillow or a traction device or both, the quality and ease of use of the Chisoft make it a perfect choice at a perfect price point.
