It’ll Get Better On It’s Own

Well, it’s always nice to hope. When we are talking neck pain, it probably won’t get on it’s own.

Chances are that if the pain magically disappears, it’s still there getting worse. Remember that your body only feels a small percentage of nerve pressure.

Unfortunately, that means there can be a problem in the body, and you may not know it’s there.

All-the-while, things could be getting worse. When this issue resurfaces, the problem may be much worse. It also doesn’t “go away” very easily.

So if you have pain or problem, you should address it, because, even if it does seem to go away, chances are that it’s still there.

“My Neck Doesn’t Move Much?”

Here are the neck ranges or ROM’s courtesy of livestrong.com

Flexion, which is tilting forward is 40-50 degrees
Extension or tilting back is 45-70 degrees
Rotation Right or Left (turning)60-80 degrees
Lateral Flexion is bending or tilting to the side Right or Left is 45 degrees.

Someone who feels that their neck doesn’t reach these may have built up a certain amount of arthritis. He/She may have also had a neck injury causing one or more of those ranges to be decreased.
A good thing to do is to periodically stretch the neck and put it through some ROM’s. Doing this everyday will gradually improve that range of motion.

My neck is Unique...

Sometimes you can't beat a hands on treatment. That doesn't mean you can't do it on yourself...

Normal Neck Movement

Our neck can move more than our low back. They both can take injury however.

No Two Neck’s Are Alike...

When it comes down to it, you have to take care of yourself. Don’t rely on your doctor to take care of you because you’ll find yourself taking more and more medicine.-

That being said - you really need to know what’s going on so you could fix it. That’s often a problem in today’s medicine they don’t try to really fix anything they don’t really try to figure out what’s caused the problem, because if they did then they would be able make it 100% better. “The Diseases We Aren't Curing—And Why”- timeinc.net

Think about it - you can’t say the “cure” word because we can’t cure anything or at least say we can so you have to try to get things better. Now, if you have a billion-dollar pharmaceutical company are you going to make certain that company always makes a profit. You can’t eradicate the problem probably because you’re billion dollar company, all-of-a-sudden, can make zero dollars putting that company out of business.

"There must be a better way!" Developing cures and getting compensated for that or something?

Either way, you really have to take good care of yourself because nobody else ready and do it for you.

Sometimes An Adjustment Or Two And I’m Pain Free...

Sometimes you may need more adjustments. If your doc is working, however, to make a structural change, your doctor may see you many more times, over a longer period of time.

Not only that, the patient will need to do real Neck Traction and neck exercises. For example, someone with a loss of their neck curvature will get adjusted, do neck traction, and head retraction exercises.

Your doctor may do pre and post X-rays even. Getting things structurally corrected will keep pain occurrences away and/or lessen them significantly.

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).
