Terrible product that was not thought out well. The majority of the pressure is put on the jaw and the TMJ. This device causes more problems than it relieves.

Dr. Bob's traction. I love it but it does not always hold the air. It was said to be new but the box looks very old. Was this actually a used item??

Effectively helped treat my bulging c5/c6 disk(s). Sizing is a little off; get the next bigger size than actual neck circumference. 17" --> 18-20".

I tried to send the collar back and it is a health item so they will not let you return it otherwise they have a 20 percent restocking charge. Will not buy from these people again.

This product works like it is suppose to. I think I should have ordered a smaller size, however this works just find. I would not use it without a Dr. recomendation.

I was a little skeptical about this product at first. It was recommended by a friend who has been to chiropractors for many years and was finally referred to this product. After hearing about my neck, shoulder, and back pain he suggested I try it. Couldn't have been happier with the results either. Started with a few minutes a day and became accustomed to having something around my neck and now I use it everyday. It helps with my tension headaches as well as the other pains I was having. I am feeling better and better as time goes by and the tension I carry there is getting smaller and smaller. And it's so easy to take with you anywhere. Just recently went on a weekend getaway and it fit right into my bag with out taking up a lot of space at all. The money spent on this is well worth not having to go to a chiropractor or get a massage every time I feel tension coming on!

I'm tall and have a longer than average neck. This device, even when fully inflated, doesn't reach both my shoulder and skull. I am forced to wrap a towel around my shoulders and then place the device on top of the towel in order to raise it up high enough to get any traction. In addition, the one way valve in the inflating bulb pops out a lot - the "plumbing" feels cheap.

I bought one of these after buying one of the cheaper ones. It worked great on my auto accident injured neck. If you have ever been on a $ 10,000 cervical traction machine at doctors the relaxing sensation is similar. Unfortunately, it blew out at about six weeks.

Pain is reduced, muscles in my neck and upper back are relaxed, and my headaches are less severe when I use this. My chiropractor told me to order it. He was very honest with me and told me that I should do as much as I can for myself at home and that if I used this device I wouldn't have to come in as often. He was right. Using this is giving me a great amount of relief and now I see him about once every 2-4 weeks. I have more than on herniated disc in my neck and would have more than likely ended up in a surgeons office without his advice. Dr. Bob's has paid for itself. I so much appreciate the honesty of my Chiropractor. I know he has my best interest in mind when he show's me what I can do for myself.

The title says it all. I have previously ordered the same item with the same "Dr. Bob's" brand. The box says "Made in China". But, in general, this device made all the difference for me previously (C6/C7 pinched nerve causing numbness in fingers and pain in my arm). So, if you know how to get one without the smell, I say go for it. I will try to return mine when I get the time and hope to get a non-smelly replacement.
