"Help Me Help You"

Ok, this line may actually be from Jerry Macguire and have more to do with being a sports agent... but I like it because you really have to be on top of your own health - like your neck, body, and yourself in general!

"I Was Was Laughing Hard And Got Neck Pain"...

I was having a good laugh about something and suddenly felt some neck pain on the right. I don't know if I turned awkward or something; I just remember getting Pain.

My neck pain only seems to be in one area but it hurts if I move in any direction. Arc4Life's Biofreeze does seem to help but I don't want this to happen again anytime soon.

Sounds like a pretty good strain. It may have been bound to occur, it just so happened that you may have jolted the neck a bit laughing.

Using PH Strips -

It's very good to be able to test your body's Ph. We should be slightly alkaline, so we must do what we can to minimize the acid...

Does Having A Higher PH Help Me Heal?

The big key is to have a normal ph. When we get too acidic we start to have problems. Remember the PH scale 0-14. Zero or One being very acidic, 14 very alkaline, and 7 neutral.

Our blood ph is 7.4. Many bacteria and viruses need an acidic environment to survive. You often hear how certain things don't exist at a higher ph. Cancer for example doesn't survive at a high ph.

That being said, you can see how your body will function (healing is one function) better at a normal ph.

Can The Arc4Life Pillow Help With My Arthritis?

Other terms for "Arthritis" are "degeneration" or "breakdown". Using the Cervical Traction Neck Pillow, you put the neck spine in alignment which will prevent that breakdown.

When things are out of alignment, it leads to pressure on nerves. When there is pressure on nerves, things breakdown quicker.

How do I know if I have arthritis? A simple X-ray will show you. There are other things besides alignment that contribute to arthritis such as a poor diet and lack of exercise but alignment and nerve pressure is the big one so do your best to put or keep the spine in place.

Does Arthritis just come with age? Not necessarily. If malpositions have been there - how long has it been? Age and level of degeneration tends to dictate how severe the arthritis will be.

"What Pillow Is Best For A Bulged Disc?"

We must 1st align the spine. It should be straight up and down from the front or back, and have smooth flowing curves looking at it from the side. This will help the discs stay in place and pull back bulges as much as possible.

The "traction" helps because it basically separates those spaces where the discs are and where the nerves come off the spinal cord.

Also when one loses the normal neck curvature, all the muscles tend to shorten and tighten. We need to stretch that back out to help the neck hold normal alignment with some neck traction as well.

I am desperate for some sleep and physical relief...

Hello there! I want you to know how delighted I am to have received the Cervical Traction Pillow two days after ordering it. I am eager to use it tonight, and because I am desperate for some sleep and physical relief, I intend to spend the entire night on the pillow. (My rationale is that I've been in severe pain anyway, so I doubt the pillow will make a significantly negative contribution in that regard.) Yes, I am optimistic that this custom pillow will assist in ultimately eliminating the post-whiplash pain which has been keeping me awake for some time now, and put me on the road closer to recovery. By the way, insomnia due to pain is a spirit-soul-body killer, I can tell you - I need restorative sleep! Thanks again."- Karen. C , 04/05/2008 West Hartford, Connecticut www.scrapartistry.com

Best Pillow I have Tried

BEST pillow I have EVER tried! Hello, I purchased the cervical traction neck pillow from you earlier this past week, asked for it to be delivered before I leave town, and received it ONE WEEK EARLIER than I asked for, 4 days earlier than projected by FED EX!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Not only that, this is by far the BEST pillow I have EVER tried! I have ordered 4 pillows claiming to reduce neck pain in the past 6 months from different distributors, and the cervical traction neck pillow is the only one that has succeeded. Thank you for your exceptional customer service, and your exceptional product. I will recommend you to ALL of my friends!!!!!!!! D.C, 01/05/2008 Eagan, Minnesota

I have now been using it for 6 days and feel like I have a new neck...

"I received my Arc4life pillow a week ago and am very impressed. After the first night of using it, I felt considerably less pain in my neck, upper back and shoulders. I have used several other chiropractic pillows that were about double the price, so I was a little skeptical about the Arc4life pillow helping me. But I decided to give it a try. I have now been using it for 6 days and feel like I have a new neck. This pillow helped me more than going to the chiropractor and doing physical therapy (which I had been doing for a year). Thanks for a great product. "

Best Neck Pillow I have tried

"The first time I lay on the pillow, I could actually feel my sinuses drain immediately. My breathing during the night has improved substantially. Most importantly, the effect it has on my neck pain has been dramatic. I wake up with my neck completely relaxed. I am sleeping better than I have in months. My range of motion has improved. Everything just feels better. Another great thing about this pillow is its standard size and shape. It actually looks like a "normal" pillow on the bed (unlike all the other neck pillows I have tried).
