The Neck Hammock Portable Cervical Traction Device for Neck Pain Relief and Physical Therapy

As someone with a herniated disc in my neck, I was going to PT and a Chiro for months and using a decompression machine. I was looking for a long-term sustainable solution at home so I could continue to decompress my disc without the Chiro visits and costs. After one use of the neck hammock, I can say that this device does what it says. It is not quite the same as the professional decompression, but definitely gets a similar relief to the neck area and can feel the pressure release for sure. Excited to add this to my at-home care routine!

Whilst the theory behind the Neck Hammock is sound, it is let down in its practical application by the lack of a metal cradle or stand from which the hammock can be attached and hung. It is acknowledged that the hammock can be hung from a door handle or railing however a practical and suitable location which is without impediments is sometimes difficult to find to effectively hang the hammock from. The availability of a support in the form of a cradle or stand would overcome this problem and make the product far more user friendly and ensure the device could be used from any location. Interestingly, a cheaper knock off or copy of the neck hammock has such a supporting cradle and it is easy to see that it is far more user friendly and practical than the neck hammock which does not have a similar support or cradle available.

Works well. The stretch bands starts giving way after a month of usage. Worried that it may snap eventually hence had stopped using it.

Very helpful when these types of headaches bother you. I've had them constantly for several months. I try to do this at least once a day for 10 minutes and you get about 80% relief.

The pads in the hammock create pressure that is not comfortable if used according to the manufacturers direction
