I had been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for a few years. I tried massage and acupuncture therapy. But they just temporarily mitigates the pains. The pains come back two days after the therapy.My coworker recommended this product to me. It works amazingly. I use it twice a day and 5 minutes each time. I don’t feel the pain anymore.It’s convenient. When I feel uncomfortable on my neck or shoulder, I use it right away instead of making an appointment with my therapist.I highly recommend this product.

So simple, I can’t believe how well it works!! Just by using this for around 4 minutes once or twice a day, I haven’t needed to go to the chiropractor for months. This is a pleasant change after years of occipital and cervical pain. I'm grateful I came across this amazing little device!

I really like this to take the tension off my neck. I recommend starting with short sessions.

What I like most is the adjustability of the device. You can cut off the bottom layer seasily to make it lower and then once your neck has loosened up enough to put that bottom layer back on, you can do it easily using ruubber bands. If you had to take two layers off, you might never stretch your neck enough to put both back on, in which case not to worry -we all have different length necks.

Was recommended by my chiropractor, and it works. It’s not supposed to be super comfortable. The key is to start with a short period (from 20 sec or so) and lengthen the time as you get used to it. You’re not supposed to lie on it for too long.The durability is also not a problem for me. 110lbs and 170lbs people have been using it, but it looks the same:)

The little piece of foam I received couldn't have cost more than 50c to make. Device doesn't seem to do anything at all, but if it is doing anything the exact same effect can be had by rolling up a towel instead of paying $50 for a little block of foam.

Recommended by my chiropractor to get my head back into its natural position over my shoulders, not my chest, after many years of drafting board then computer use. Instruction for appropriate use needs supplemental explanation which is available on-line. Requires regular daily use and do not expect to be "comfortable" until you get used to the position and purpose. Just turn on some soothing music, hike up your knees and spread your arms as you lie prone on the floor to direct your body weight to the target area; build up duration of session to 1/2 hour after a week to 10 days and IT WORKS.

This is just too hard to be effective. At the time I purchased this, there was only one. I see now there is a softer version though I am not wiling to give it a try. This is just a piece of foam which has precut slots on the bottom for height adjustment. Height adjustment is done by cutting off these layers. You will not be able to compare height comfort. Once you cut off a layer it cannot be reattached. I think that given the price this is unacceptable. I do try to use it and it does relieve a headache for a bit, but this is only at the cost of excruciating pressing into my spine due to the hardness of this block. This is just too hard and uncomfortable to use to stick with it. It may as well be made of concrete.

Made in USA, the Apex Cervical Orthosis is adjustable in height by 1" increments. The bottom of the firm, foam block with an angled top to fit underneath the user's shoulders and neck, has two sections that can be removed. The height of the foam can be 2.5" high, 3.5" high or 4.5" high.I am a 5'6" tall, 165-pound female who has a bulging disc at C4. I purchased this block to use to encourage my neck to decompress, bringing back essential blood flow and hopefully relieving some of the discomfort and damage in this area of my spine. The block is indeed 'firm' with little or no give, so it does not feel cozy or squishy in any way. Highly unlikely that with regular use it will break down at all.The directions for use of this product indicate the importance of using it under the direction of a professional. I am currently under the care of a doctor for my spine and neck issues. I did ask him about this, and he said "If it makes you feel better, but it may hurt at first."NOTE: The directions also indicate it's recommended you use this product only for 2 minutes the first few times, and then follow with a cool pack on your neck. Working up to a 20-minute session of use. There is also mention of rolling off of it versus sitting straight up after use.I am going to plan on using this twice a day for 2-3 minutes each day for a week before increasing the time. I am somewhat pained after using it the first two times, followed by the recommended cold pack. I do think individual results may vary, but it definitely works as promised and does place your neck and shoulders in the proper place for a stretch if you have the height correctly adjusted. (I took out the bottom 1" slab.)Overall, a good product and one I'd recommend to others with similar issues. If you are uncertain about 'how' this product works on your neck, check out YouTube for some videos by chiropractors to learn more about how it can increase blood flow and encourage healthy curvature of the neck.

My chiropractor recommended a pillow similar to this one but I was unable to find it for purchase on the internet. This was half the price and literally saved my life. I have a reversed cervical spine. The neck pain I experienced was unbearable. The first day I used this I couldn’t last more than 2 minutes without feeling nauseous and dizzy. Little did I know this pillow was correcting my problem. Now I am up to 15 minutes a day (recommended not to do more than 15 minutes by my chiropractor) I HAVE NO MORE NECK PAIN. Give it a chance and don’t give up. When you don’t see instant gratification we seem to think oh this will never work. People told me give it time and I am so happy that I did. Wow I totally recommended this for anyone with neck pain but I use it faithfully everyday and double up on weekends.
