Heating element is so-so; but it's a good support brace
The heating element is so-so and I find myself using it with and without (same with my wife). But it's a good brace and the design with the "leaf" is helpful for fitting. Pain relief is solid but mostly comes from stabilizing the neck, not anything specific to this one. I'd still recommend it for the "leaf" alone which is very innovative vs. traditoinal clasps.
