 Try this before going to your PT. Feb 05, 2008
By T. Church
I injured my neck in 2005, at age 33, I was told by an orthopedic surgeon that I have arthritis in my neck. He recommended Physical Therapy to relieve pain, so I spent two months on PT, getting manual traction and ultrasound, without any long-lasting results. I spent another two months going to a chiropractor, same thing. I heard from my mother-in-law that traction device might help, so I ordered this ridiculous looking contraption on Amazon. I had spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on massages and gadgets that claim to help neck and back pain, this was just another one. Well, it has been three years, and I'm still using this on a regular basis. After a long day or when I wake up with a stiff neck, I spend a few minutes on this, I hear my spine pop a few times, and I'm all better. I feel like my spine collapses over time due to gravity, and traction release it. You have to be gentle and careful in the beginning though. This really works.

 Nice, but a head smasher Feb 23, 2008
By K. Jost
The device works as advertized, but compresses the user's head due to the single point attachment of the traction strap (see illustration). I fabricated an 8 inch spreader to move the attachment points outward and greatly reduce the inward pressure on my head when using the device. Other products, such as the more 'cumbersome' water bag traction unit, have spreaders. It took me 10 minutes to bend a 1/4 inch hardware store rod into a spreader. For the Neck-Pro people to add that part would probably increase the cost of the unit by $5 or so. Well worth the increased cost in my opinion. I would not have been able to keep using the Neck-Pro without that modification.

very convenient to use May 16, 2006
By buster
The neckpro works much better than the water bag version I used to have. It takes a little getting used to so have someone nearby to assist you the first few times. It is very small and portable, and appears to be heavy duty. If you need a cervical stretcher, this is the one.

Great Alternative to the Water Bag Version Oct 19, 2007
By Thomas Schleis
"Tom Kriek"
I decided to try this at the advice of my neurosurgeon. I previously had a water bag version, but it was designed to work while lying down, which my neurosurgeon was against. Between this device and the water bag version, this device appeared to have a larger, more sturdy headpiece. I was not dissappointed. It is easier to use than my older water bag version device and it ratchets once for each pound, making it extremely easy to use. The results so far have been superior to the version where you lie down. It is important to keep your head in a downward position to maximize the effect. Not much more than the water bag version and a lot easier to use.

Neckpro Cervical Traction Device Dec 18, 2007
By A. J. Larson
"Antslarson"
I really like the Neckpro Cervical Traction Device.
I find it easy to use and quick to setup.
I just get a chair to sit in, hang the Neckpro to the top of the door and stretch. It's a little uncomfortable on the jaw, however it is extremely beneficial to my neck and shoulders.
Unfortunately, I only remember to use it when my neck & shoulder pain returns, however after 15 - 30 mins of using this the pain is either pretty much gone or completely gone.
I've not found anything else that helps as much as this and I'm completely satisfied.
