VenusCare Neck Support Pillow

After my husband's accident at work back in March, he has been having neck pain, a common side effect of being in a car accident. The orthopedic surgeon and physical therapists recommended traction for him to help ease the neck pain as it worked in the office. So when I was given the chance to test this travel neck pillow I thought I would give it a try, as it looked like it may work for the kind of mild neck traction he needs. The intended use of this pillow is to provide head and neck support when traveling, such as in a plane or on a train. For that, I think it would work quite well. But since we planned to use it not for travel but as neck traction at home, we wanted to check with the doctors to see if it would be suitable. We actually haven't been back to see the orthopedic surgeon since receiving the pillow, however we did show it to the physical therapist and ask ifthey thought it would do any good, and they said that if it helped to relief the pain it is completely safe to use for neck traction so that is what we have been doing. It has been working quite well.

This is a great travel pillow that also works for providing mild traction. Get one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076WRW5YV
