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

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.

I don't usually write reviews, but because of the importance of what this item is used for I felt I owe it to others suffering from back problems. I have used other devices and they all work in a similar fashion. I tried the pulley system and the biggest problem with that system was comfort and ease of use. That system was a pain to use. I needed to fill water bags and hang them, so if you want to change the resistance then you would have to stop your session and empty or add water to the bag. It was also a pain to get into since you would need to pull the water bag down and then strap your neck into a very uncomfortable strap system. The other system I used was the Saunders cervical traction unit. I liked the Saunders and actually wanted that system and only chose the ComforTrac due to the reviews on Amazon and the smaller price tag. The only gripes I had with the Saunders was that it did not secure your head very well and it tended to leak slowly and the resistance needed to be constantly adjusted. The plus I give the Saunders is that the strap that goes over your head secures down tightly. The ComforTrac secures your head with rubber pieces that feel like skin. They grip very well and hold your head tightly in place. The strap simply wraps over, overlaps and secures with velcro. So does the Saunders but the sanders has a clip in the middle that helps secure the strap tighter. That really is the only plus the Saunders has over the ComforTrac. The Saunders leaked and when you released the pressure you need to turn a dial on the pump. The ComforTrac does not leak at all! The ComforTrac also releases pressure by pushing a button which feels much easier to use. Both units come in a custom bag. I personally like the bag the ComforTrac comes in much better because it is literally a duffle bag with foam cut to secure the unit in the bag. There is room to add other small items needed such as the manual. My belief is that both the Saunders and the ComforTrac are clearly the best choices and you can't go wrong with either one, but the ComforTrac is the more comfortable unit for a more affordable price.

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.

I had a tough time trying to decide between options on Amazon, obviously it's difficult without being able to physically see the item.I was a little hesitant on the "pump" mechanism, but this one had lots of great reviews so I went with it. The pump barely takes any effort, and the product works great.Be sure to strap down your head for it to be effective, otherwise your head tends to slide out a bit and you don't get a great stretch.Would highly recommend 👍

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.
