Functional, Although its Function is Unclear
I honestly don't know what I was hoping to get out of this, or even what its best purpose is. What is this supposed to treat or help with?<br />All I know is that when wearing this, I felt choked, slightly immobilized, and extremely uncomfortable. (It didn't help that my husband enjoyed making fun of me with it on.)<br />I was looking for a product that would help align my neck better than it is on its own, maybe apply just a bit of pressure to help guide me to the right posture. Instead, I got this. Granted, I got it for free with the purchase of this item: [[ASIN:B0103MGBHU Neck Brace by Vive - Cervical Collar - Adjustable Soft Support Collar Can Be Used During Sleep - Wraps Aligns & Stabilizes Vertebrae - Relieves Pain and Pressure in Spine - One-Size Fits Most (White)]] so I can't complain much.<br />Because I don't know what exactly it was supposed to do for me, I can't be too hard on it, but because 2 stars = &#34;I don't like it&#34;, I had to be honest.<br />I ended up returning both of the Vive products I purchased, although I'd be willing to give the cervical collar another shot.<br />I have a lot of neck problems (degenerative disc disease) and I'm desperately searching for something that will gently help realign my neck. The pain is so bad by the end of the day that I can barely do anything. Everything aggravates the pain and I just don't know what to do. A heating pad around the back of my neck helps, but I really shouldn't be using that for as long of periods of time as I am.<br />I'll keep searching and going to PT, but I really hope I find something that helps soon.
