Posture Pump® Dual Disc Hydrator® Model 1400‑D – Cervical Traction Device for Neck & Upper Back, EED® Technology, FSA/HSA Eligible, Lightweight, Made in USA

My daughter has neck issues and her chiropractor said we should buy the posture pump. He gave her directions to pump stay for 5 seconds release and do that ten times. Then slowly increase how long she holds. The goal for her is work up to being able to hold at the top for ten minutes! This is not a knock of it is the same brand the chiropractor uses, good quality! Now everyone in the family uses it nightly, because it’s fun!

This thing saved my quality of life. I started having severe pain on the left side of my neck, left shoulder, and left arm. I thought it would go away by itself, but it didn't. The pain simply never stopped. NEVER. I had trouble working, and couldn't sleep well at night, waking frequently every night due to the pain... After a couple of months of suffering, I tried going to a chiropractor. He was sure he would help me, but after 16 visits, i wasn't much better off than I started. I finally resigned myself to the fact that I was just going to have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. One thing i did notice at the chiropractor, though, is that when he lifted up strongly on my head, the pain would subside for that moment. So I started looking on amazon for traction devices. While doing so, I came across this Posture Pump. I read reviews where others with similar symptoms were helped. The price was a big detourant, but eventually i bought it anyway, willing to try anything to get out of this NEVER ENDING PAIN. After using this thing daily for about 4 weeks, the constant pain is entirely gone! My shoulder may get irritated at night if I sleep on my left side, but this too continues to improve. This is not an overnight miracle, but has a cumulative effect. When your discs are compressed, the liquid is forced out of them like a squeezed sponge, and they bulge out and press against the nerve that runs along the spine. The posture pump stretches your compressed discs and allows them to rehydrate - soaking up the surrounding fluid and nutrients. Rehydrating the discs, reverses the damage, and allows them to take their original shape relieving the pressure on the nerve.To be fair, I was initially skeptical about this thing, but I was in so much pain that I was willing to try anything. It initially made my neck muscles sore until I got used to it. But the persistence is worth the end result. If your willing to spend 15 minutes a day for the next month or so, this can be your miracle as is was for me. I recommend this whole heartedly, and hope this review will help others who are in constant pain and on the fence about trying out this Posture Pump.

I first used this device at my chiropractors office. She had a herniated disc in her neck and she used this device to encourage it into correct alignment. She said it worked.Fast forward five years. I have always had a neck that had no curve in it... at least I discovered it in my 20’s. The attached picture is an X-ray I took a pic of about 10 years ago. My neck is MUCH worse now because no matter what I did, it got worse. A neck in this shape will cause horrible headaches and I now have my own herniated disc. So I bit the bullet and I bought this device. If it worked for my chiropractor some years ago I figured it was worth it, and it is about 5 of my medical copayment so what the hell? Right?So I tried it yesterday for the first time. I had a splitting headache. My neck was sore. I read the instructions, which were very straight-forward. The device is easy to use. I positioned myself on it with my neck on the inflatable pad. I strapped my head in and I inflated it a little bit. It initially felt strange but not painful. For me, I felt the pressure on my neck but it didn’t feel bad or good. Definitely felt different than any other thing I have tried. I deflated and inflated it (to where it was comfortable for me) 10 times... and on the 10th time I left it inflated for 5 mins. I breathed deeply and relaxed my shoulders. The feeling of pressure on my neck didn’t hurt but at the same time it felt weird.When I deflated the air cushions and I strapped my forehead... I got up slowly and I felt like my headache had improved. My neck felt hot... like blood flow was going to it, which is a good thing. That night my neck was sore but I expected that. I expect to be sore for at least a couple weeks. My neck is kind of a mess so pushing it back into alignment is not gonna be pleasant entirely.Day 2... back of my neck was slightly tender. But again I have a headache every day so I did my home therapy again on the posture pump. I couldn’t inflate it as much as I did yesterday. Neck is definitely tender. But I did the same treatment as yesterday and again felt good when I was done. I will continue to use this every day and hopefully see progress. I will update here as I go!
