Comfortrac New Model Home Cervical Traction Device

This device worked wonders with me! Ive been battling cervicogenic dizziness for 4 years. I was going to buy the Saunders unit but opted to give this one a,try. Works great. Im not kidding...eliminated my muscle pain which clearly was due to pinched nerve in neck. This unit does wonders unpinching. May not work for everyone but in my case, life changer

I've used it twice and it seems to do the job. Definitely feel the stretch. I have to get used to the pressure on my occipital bones with this but it stretches without messing up my TMJ which is a good thing. Neck felt better after using. I'll have to do it everyday for a month or so to get a longer lasting benefit. I like that it works very similarly to the ones in the PT's office.

I'm 64 years old, I have Cervical Spondolysis which causes my left hand to go numb. The numbness is so bad that it wakes me up 2-3 times night. At times my arm would get BURNING HOT at night and wake me. It got to a point where I was apprehensive about going to sleep knowing that within a few hours I'd awaken with searing pain down my arm. I purchased this item on recommendation of a physical therapist. Initially I used it twice a day. 15 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. Now only 30 minutes at night. From day one the burning pain disappeared! Over the first 3 days the night time numbness decreased each night, then it went away. I've now had it almost 3 weeks and the daytime numbness in my hand has improved 50-75%. Overall I'm very satisfied with the results. The unit is expensive, but the relief it provides has been well worth it. The unit is very easy to setup. Watch the brief video on the Amazon ad page and you won't even need to read the instructions. The only drawback ... After about a week it started loosing tension. I'd pump it up to the desired setting, sometimes it stays, at other times it slowly deflates. Once in a while it deflates immediately. It's no big deal to reinflate but at a price point of nearly $400 I expect better quality. Thats the only reason I gave it 4 stars vs 5. Even with that issue I give this this item a strong buy recommendation. It has helped me tremendously! ADDENDUM: This product has worked miraculously for me. It's been about a month since I submitted this review and the progress I've made since has been phenomenal. I have virtually ZERO pain, numbness & tingling in my left arm and hand. I now only use this device for 15 minutes once or twice weekly.

This is a great product! I'll compare this cervical stretcher to the one used at my physical therapists office. I have two bulging disc's as a result of a car accident. At physical therapy, I lay face-up on the table and the automatic traction device stretched my neck for a period of 15 minutes. One session yielded positive results for two months. However, the pain returned. And I could feel my neck re-compressing. So, I found this unit on amazon. After hesitating over the price and the mixed reviews, I decided to take the leap. This product is made with high-quality silicone, and adjustable head strap, similar to the used in the physical therapists office. It adjusts via manual compression instead of automatic. I prefer this because it allows me to adjust to my comfort level. As for as the results: I can feel an incredible difference equal to the machine in the physical therapist's office. Make sure you adjust slowly. When you reach a point where you feel your neck cannot stretch any further hold it for 15 min. One you're finished, SLOWLY release the valve. You will sit up and instantly feel a difference. However, I am not a doctor and I cannot advise you how to use this device. This is only a review. I'm very blessed to have this device. And I hope it will continue to provide years of relief.

As a retired RN with 30 years of experience, I strongly advise against this device. The angle of traction is all wrong. It compresses the TMJ (jaw) area instead of properly lifting the occiput. I tried to adjust the wedges every which way, but it just creates tension headaches. It’s alarming that they sell this without a prescription or proper fitting guidelines. You could seriously injure your cervical spine if you have instability. Stick to manual traction from a licensed PT. By the way, the package was poorly packed.
