Will this improve forward head posture? My head and neck go forward due to scoliosis
1384447
I also have scoliosis which twists my my neck to the side. The neck traction straightens my neck I am not so sure about it helping forward head posture, it might help. All I know it lengthens my neck and it feels great. You may want to check with a chiropractor, he recommended it for my curve in my neck. Good luck to you.

Yes, but gradually. I find it makes you more aware of the way you hold your shoulders and neck, and I wear it several hours each day just like I was doing any other exercise.

Hi MichaelHonestly, I didn't find this worked for me. It was not the first posture guide I have ever used, and hoped it would help, as it is different from others I had tried. I still found myself hunched over. It didn't take very long for me to get used to the feeling of the tugging and was not a problem for me. I got used to ite

YES. Not only is it adjustable, it's very easy to use. This device gives me the greatest relief I've ever had for my problem. Years ago I cracked two cervical vertebrae and two thoracic. For which, I've had chiropractic treatment for over ten years. With this device I no longer need to go to the doctor. I am not a physician, therefore I can't give medical advice. But, I feel the Neckpro Over-the Door Cervical Traction unit has been the best thing that's come along for me in a long long time.

Kevin, so far I have had no problems, just good results. I have scoliosis pretty bad, and between physical therapy and using this lumbar support, I feel that it has helped me a great deal. After so many years of poor posture, this reminds me to sit straight. I hope this does well for you.

My problems are all in the lower back (Lumbar and Sacral), so I am not certain. As this uses body weight to stretch the spine, I can't imagine that it would be as effective on upper back/neck issues. I would want to try before purchasing such a device for your purposes. I do hope that helps.

I think you would be better off getting advise from a medical professional. But, that said I don't think this really stabilizes, it's more for posture correction. It pulls the shoulder back and down and restricts forward movement. I found out I have arthritis and it was not comfortable for me to wear while doing things around the the house. Seems like it would make it more difficult to use a bow.

Yes it does. I would move my head different angles in order to get comfortable and I would speak from different angles. I didn't hear any decrease in sound quality.

It helped me. My posture was horrible. It felt very uncomfortable at first but it forced me to sit up and back straight. After a month I started to get used to sitting in a straighter position. I still use it one year later. I definitely recommend this product.

Hi! For me, it did not. It held my head straight up. No backwards or forwards pushing

This did not do much for my shoulders. Relieved my neck a bit but not enough so I returned mine. Since everyone is different and Amazon has free returns, you might want to try it.

according to my GF it somewhat does, improves my sleep and posture allot though! I recommend this.

your head wont be slanted. the outside edge holds your neck right so the lower part in the middle holds or cradells your head. the middle is thin ... i can tell you that since ive used one i have not had to ever go to the chiropractor for my neck again

The manual lists very specific locations to place the device, and the neck is not one of the places it recommends. It would seem very dangerous to put near your face and head because of the potential for disrupting the central nervous system. I am not sure about the trapezius and it is not listed in the guide as a place to place the device. You should check with your doctor.

It probably would if I used it to do exercises to strengthen my core but since I use it at work and tend to focus on what I need to accomplish so I haven't seen anything that would say my core is better. Of course, it might be worse if I hadn't been using the chair. My advice would be to use the chair with targeted exercises for your core. It has helped in the area of improving neck and back strain however.

My physical therapist requested I buy this to help retrain my spine to have a natural curve. Mine was straight and this causes pressure on my discs. For me it helps the overall spine.... upper and lower.

The IntelliSkin bra improves posture in so far as it gives your upper body structure and helps correct rounding of shoulders. But it isn't a brace so you have to consciously work in correcting your posture as well. I love the bra, by the way.
