"I Sit On The Computer So Many Hours!"

Sitting on the computer for many hours is the norm these days. It might not exactly be the desktop computer, it may be the laptop, tablet, or even phone. The desktop may be your best choice for ergonomics but none of these are great for long periods.

It seems for most they are texting or on the internet with there phones. They even came up with a term for neck issues from the phone: tech neck!

So whatever it is - phone, computer, or tablet, take breaks...

"My Goal Is To Have Perfect Health"

I think that is a great goal. When it's comes down to it, you really can't do anything without your health!

So what should I do?

First, make the decision to get healthy. Keep it on your mind and focus on that... Next, like many other things, you should write it down. And third, make a plan that you can start doing. Make changes to that plan when you need to.

An example may be to workout 5 days a week. Let's say that you can't get to the gym one particular day, have things at home you can work out with. Maybe have a plan in place to do an exercise you dislike if you don't follow your plan, etc.

Next, You see your Chiropractor regularly.

And third, you eat out less. This way you know exactly what you are getting...

"My Neck Still Hurts?"

I've tried everything but my neck is still hurting! I slept good, went to my chiropractor, you name it, I've done it?

Sometimes we just need more time, and sometimes we are doing something that aggravates it and don't know it!

I have found the tri-sectonal hot and cold pack to be real helpful. I like it because it can just sit on your shoulders. I use the heat in the morning when it's cooler and the ice pack later on when it's warmer.

I actually keep a cold one in the freezer and another in the cabinet I can heat up quicker.

We Are Going On Vacation, Should I Take The Pillow I Use At Home?

The quick answer to this question is: Yes! You don't want not enjoy yourself because you don't have your usual pillow.

For us, the whole family takes their own pillow. If you can't imagine sleeping without your usual neck pillow you may want to take it with you as well.

I know the hotel pillows will be comfortable but after a couple of nights bunching it under my neck, it gets old real fast.

Will Getting A New Pillow Help Me Sleep?

A new pillow may help you sleep. Some people have trouble getting to sleep, some getting back to sleep...

If you definitely need a new pillow, this may make a big difference. Most Neck pillows will lose some support as time goes on. So, I have found that getting a new pillow can help sleeping.

I have also seen many make lifestyle changes that have helped Sleep. Maybe that was making the room more sleep conducive, cutting out the technology right before bed, and much more...

Either way a new pillow may even help more than sleep!

Poor Neck Posture While Sitting

Many of us may slouch, which can get the low back, but I've seen many bad necks more often.

Most of us use the phone a lot these days. Think about it - looking at the internet on a little phone!

Or there's poor posture when on the computer, reading, or driving. I would have never really thought about it, but I even saw very poor posture while someone was eating.

So, check your posture no matter what you are doing...

Is Swimming Really Such A Great Workout?

So, there are a few things you need to add swimming to your work out. First, you need to have a pool or have one that's available. Your gym may have one! Also have to keep an eye on the weather, if the pool is outside; you have to make sure that the pool is clean, the water is healthy and a good temperature, etc. etc.

I thought everything was good, meaning the conditions I mentioned earlier were all good with the exception that was a little chilly out. So I did my swimming which was great however I think I caught a little cold maybe because the cold temperature getting out of the pool and drying off.

Lastly, I know that chlorine probably isn't the greatest but we don't always have a salt water pool to use.

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).
