What are Products that Compliment my Traction Neck Pillow?

The arc4life cervical linear traction neck pillow is great for helping with neck pain. The neck roll helps to improve the neck curve but doing neck traction will help even more. Therefore, some kind of true neck traction will compliment. I would recommend a neck stretcher called the posture pump 1000. This works to get that curve back but will help you do it sooner.I like this particular neck stretcher because it is comfortable, it helps to get the c curve back into the neck and its user friendly for home use.


Another good compliment is a hot and cold pack. I would use heat before traction or when you get up in the morning. This helps to loosen things before traction. Periodically post traction you may have some soreness because of increased inflammation; ice works best at this point.

A third complimentary treatment is biofreeze gel. This pain relief gel will also help to warm and relax a sore area of muscle. You can use this before, after, or during tractioning.

Lastly, Formula 303 acts as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. The great thing is that it is all natural...

You may also be recommended exercises or stretches that can help as well. You don't need a product to do these, although, eventually you can use resistance bands for added resistance.

Is It Normal To Move Around A Lot At Night When Sleeping, And Will A Neck Pillow Still Work For Me?

It is completely normal to move around a bit when sleeping. Most people won’t stay in one position all night. What to do with the traction pillow is try to start out at night on your back. Once you get used to this you will sleep in this position for awhile and eventually move or roll over. The “V” part of the pillow will not only give a gentle neck stretch, but will help hold you in this position longer. When your body is ready to move, you will automatically turn and land more on the wing of the pillow on either side.

As long as you get some time on your back during the night, you will help improve your neck posture. So don’t feel like you need to sleep all night on your back, you don’t. In fact, a lot of customers are solely side sleepers. The pillow is good for that too because it keeps the head and neck level. We simply recommend to start out on your back to get some neck tractioning. Just sleeping on this for a short time will help correct neck posture and reduce neck pain.
