Provides decent heat to the back area of my neck but I can’t get comfortable with this - 2.5 stars
I was on the fence about ordering this. The reason I keep trying things is because I woke up many months ago with neck pain. After trying everything I could think of, I went to a chiropractor. His adjustments were helping me before insurance denial prevented me from going back. He gave me an exercise to perform where I had to roll up a towel, lay on the floor, and then put it under my upper back so that my neck was hanging back. That helped some but then I ordered the below devices.<br /><br />[[ASIN:B09R3JHKPX ComforTrac Wave Cervical Traction Neck Support]] - 4 stars<br />[[ASIN:B09KQ3R1J1 Neck Stretcher for Pain Relief]] - 5 stars<br />[[ASIN:B09F7PH4QR ChiroLux Curv & Cervical Neck Traction Device]] - 4 stars<br />[[ASIN:B09G9YKF1H Rehand Cervical Traction Wedge Pillow]] - 4 stars<br />[[ASIN:B09NC15YLW GOBRUREEY Orthopedic Pillow]] - 4 stars<br />[[ASIN:B09KRPFKQP Lemonfish Store Cervical Pillow]] - 2.5 stars<br /><br />Therefore, I decided to add this to my repertoire. Even though the above "devices" were good, my neck pain never went away and always came back either lightly or in full force every morning after waking up. Therefore,  I decided to try this because a heating pad on my neck sometimes helps.<br /><br />This neck brace comes with three extra Velcro strips, a USB power cord (no A/C adapter), and a manual. Only one of the Velcro strips can be plugged in for heat. The others are just used as extensions or as a magnetic therapy pad (which I think is hocus pocus). The neck brace is segment, so that I should be able to  flare out the bottom lower on my neck if I want less support rather than more support.  I tried this and was unable to get this to flare out. I was only able to use this in the strong support mode.<br /><br />I plugged this into my computer's USB port while wearing it. There is a control that allows me to have high, medium, or low heat. The heat is nice but it is only in the area where the heated extension strip is and not around the entire neck. Also, I do not find this too comfortable to wear. I think this will work with some but for me this is not going to be useful. <br /><br />In summary, I do feel this might work for some people but it does not work for me. The heated area is too small and the brace too tall to be comfortable since I am unable to bring it lower on my neck. The current price of $25.99 would be reasonable for this had it worked for me.<br /><br />UPDATE: I had my boyfiend try this and he hates it. He say it only heats in the patch area, which is true. He gives this 1 star.
