 Works well, but had to make two changes November 25, 2008
I have bulging discs in my neck and my neurosurgeon had prescribed a water bag type of traction device a few years ago to stretch my neck when I was having numbness in my hands, but it was always a pain in the neck (pun intended) to find someplace to store a full water bag or to have to refill the bag every time I wanted to use it. So, when my neck discomfort and hand numbness returned, I decided to try the NeckPro.
The first issue was the same one another reviewer mentioned: the harness tends to smash your head. Luckily, I had the spacer bar from my water bag device, which has notches for the harness rings at various distances from the center, so I removed the harness from the hook and put the bar in its place. The harness rings fit perfectly in the notches. Problem solved. I agree with the other reviewer that a spacer bar should have been included in the package.
The second issue was that the straps on the harness are too short. I have an 18" neck and the harness was literally choking me when I got the straps to where they'd stay put. I ended up having to extend the straps with some industrial strength Velcro. I don't know why they made the straps so short.
Other than those two issues, I didn't notice any difference in comfort level between the two devices: they both hurt my jaw the same amount. It's something I had to get used to previously and I'm sure I'll get used to it again.
I really like the easily adjustable force on the NeckPro; it sure beats having to adjust the water level in a bag. It also makes positioning the harness on my head much easier because I can take up the slack to get everything situated and then crank up the force, all without leaving my chair.
 I wouldn't know how it works as I haven't been able to use it November 2, 2008
I received this product about a month ago and was excited at the prospect of relieving my neck, shoulder and back pain. When I went to use it I realized that the bracket didn't fit over a single door in my house. I know I should have measured the doors first, but I thought they were a standard size.
I had to email the company twice before they responded that I could purchase a bigger bracket for $23.
I tried to give it NO STARS, but the site won't allow that.
I am not pleased.
 Neck Traction October 28, 2008
I purchased this neck traction device after my neurologist suggested that it would help take pressure off my pinched nerve at C7. It was easy to use and worked well in reducing the pressure to my neck/spine area. I was instructed by my neurologist to use it twice a day for 10 minutes with 8 to 10 pound pressure.
Great for neck pain October 17, 2008
I've suffered with chronic neck pain for years. I now see a chiro on a regular basis and take a powdered Magnesium supplement to help but when the pain gets ahead of me sometimes, I use this to get immediate relief. It really takes the pressure off of the nerves and lets the muscles stretch and relax.

What a great product, easy to set up, easy to maintain. So one day I was stretching my neck, one of my friends came over with some beers, so we had a neck stretching party. What a great time for me and my neck. We quickly ran out of beer, so I went to get some more. While I was away, buying more liquor, my friend decided to stretch his neck more. So while he was stretching his neck, he slipped and fell, Neckpro became a deadly noose. Once I got home, he was turning blue. Blue.... I tried to rip Neckpro off him, but because it was such a good product, it did not break!!!! I had to get a big axe and break the door instead!!! So be careful with drinking while enjoying your neck stretching.
