Product Reviews of OTC Over Door Cervical Traction Kit, Complete
Product Review: get physician advice
Summary: 3 Stars
I have not purchased this yet but intend to. I am a physician and recently saw my neurosurgeon who prescribed this device. He said to make sure you faced the door from which the device is suspended. He said DO NOT face away from the door, as is pictured on your web page. He also said to start with 10-12 pounds of water weight, and your head should be tilted about 20 degrees downward, good for reading a book during the 15-20 minutes you are doing this.
Again I haven't used this yet, but this is advice from an experienced spine surgeon. Good luck.
Product Review: great product, great company
Summary: 4 Stars
My first shipment box was empty, so I e-mailed the provider directly. They shipped out a replacement immediately, with no hassle. I find the traction works great and helps my neck pain.Product Review: painful
Summary: 1 Stars
I have used traction before and recently purchased this one. It hurts my chin and becomes painful only after a few short minutes. It has been several years since I have used traction but I do not remember it hurting like this.Product Review: saving my life
Summary: 4 Stars
Love this item. I've been to multiple doctors with neck problems and they all say "everything looks good" despite dizziness, neck crunching sounds, and horrific other symptoms. Use this every other day and life is getting back to normal. I paid under $30 for this item and paid to doctors. This is the only item that has saved me. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because you need someone to help you with the weight bag. Other than that - it's a great product.Product Review: some flaws, but great price
Summary: 3 Stars
For the great price, I might purchase again, but would be better aware of some minor flaws. The head mask seems to be too large to be able to adjust down enough for my fit. I adjusted as small as I could and then safety pinned it in place so it would stay. The water bag would be more convenient if it could be removed and placed aside, after using instead it being permanently tied into the rest of the device. Since my knot came loose and whiplashed my neck when it did (kidding, not quite that bad); I found a latch hook like climbers use on ropes that worked very well and tied a more secure knot. Then I could just unhook the water weight to store. Overall, I could tell a benefit after using. My doctor said not to use if all the pull was on the jaw, so I was able to angle the chair to maximize more pull on the back of the head. Also turning toward the door did not work for me, worked better for me facing away from the door.
