Grossly overpriced. Versatile and compact.
The ComforTrac Wave Cervical Traction Neck Support helps to stretch my neck in the correct, ergonomic direction to assist with headache reduction. It is one solid unit and very lightweight. I couldn’t find the exact materials this device is made of, but it feels like a rubberized plastic with soft’ish’ lighter colored foam insets. I only notice the very slightest ‘give’ to the shape when I press hard enough on it with body weight. So, I’m not entirely certain it has ‘give’ at all with just the weight of my head on it.<br /><br />It’s fairly compact measuring 8.5”Wx7.0”Dx4.75”H so it’s easy to store. It will even slide right under a bed assuming the bed is standard height or taller.<br /><br />The materials look to be very durable so this device should have a long life. It is really easy to clean and disinfect due to the hardened feel of the material. It doesn’t have an unpleasant odor. In fact, it just smells very lightly of rubber.<br /><br />I wasn’t impressed with the instructions but found a way to lay my neck over it that was comfortable enough anyway. I ordered this product with hopes that regular use, along with chiropractic and physical therapy, could help restore some of the natural curve back to my cervical spine as well as reduce pain due to herniated discs, pinched nerves, and chronic muscle spasms.<br /><br />There’s no special rubber bottom for traction on the floor but it seems to hold very well without it. It doesn’t slip when I position my neck over it. I can’t get my head to hang backwards over it like advertisement photos demonstrate due to my neck curvature issues, but that’s the goal. I realize achieving the goal will take time and regular use so I wasn’t unrealistically expecting immediate pain relief.<br /><br />I also use the raised upper ledge of the device to roll the muscles across as a type of mini massage. It’s also good for applying targeted pressure for trigger point therapy with the same technique of utilizing the raised areas.<br /><br />It has not eliminated pain. I think that will be a long time coming, if ever, but it does help to reduce headaches for short periods of time with the trigger point work.<br /><br />It is definitely, grossly overpriced. Other products are available on Amazon that are nearly identical to this one for half the price.  Otherwise, I’d give it 5 stars. Hopefully, the seller catches on and does a reasonable price adjustment.
