I am a physician and recently saw my neurosurgeon who prescribed this device. He said to make sure you faced the door from which the device is suspended. He said DO NOT face away from the door, as is pictured on your web page. He also said to start with 10-12 pounds of water weight, and your head should be tilted about 20 degrees downward, good for reading a book during the 15-20 minutes you are doing this.

If you have serious health problems, do not use - go see a physician and have him/her prescribe a method of use (even for this product) or in office traction with...

I bought it with the intent of reducing pain in my neck area (I had professional physical therapy years ago where head traction was performed via machine and found that traction eliminated my neck pain over the three months of physical therapy). Overall, I found this product has helped, but to a lesser degree than expected, (I certainly did not expect the same degree of relief as provided by a professional physical therapist). It is very important to start at a lower weight level and gradually work up to a higher weight level. One of the reasons is that you need to identify your comfort and uncomfort zones. I did find that the headpiece became uncomfortable depending upon the weight and the duration in which you are using the product. At the higher weight level, I felt quite a bit of pressure on my lower chin. The over-the-door mount is sturdy. However, I would have preferred that the... Read more |
