Do you think this can be used as a neck massager?

It could, but this one only ran once for me. They are pretty standard on the market and they do a good job at massaging the big muscles on sides of the neck coming down.

Yes, it would work for that. Just be sure the massage "balls" are on either side of spinal column - not directly pressing on vertebrae - might cause a problem. I've used it on shoulders, too.

If you have the system where you can get the internet - then yes. It also converts into a neck pillow for travel. I bought these as gifts and the people I gave them to use them for car trips all the time. Believe it was one of the best gifts I've given.

Yes it can but you best bet would be to go to the chiropracter. You sound like you have a pinched nerve.

You could, but this is relatively soft and the massaging action is not great. I rely on it more for the heat in the winter against leather seats. I have more expensive, massaging cushions that are better massagers and would be better for chairs. I also have one that you can use flat on a bed that is wonderful, too, as an option.

It can, depending upon what is causing the neck and shoulder pain. Mostly, it helps gently re-align vertebrae, and safely stretch back muscles. You must be consistent with its use. And use it frequently, for short periods of time, rather than spend a half hour once a day on it. I would ask your physician's opinion on it first. It is spendy and difficult to return if it doesn't work.

no, you need the neck massager, its a separate unit; http://www.amazon.com/HoMedics-NMS-350-Shiatsu-Massager-Vibration/dp/B002QV01LO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1388196863&sr=8-3&keywords=heated+neck+massager

I have used it as a head pillow but it doesn't really support my head like I would like, it isn't too thick it just isn't that firm, as a body pillow and for the price it's perfect. Hope this helps.

I use it on my lower back; my husband uses it on his foot; I believe it would work quite well on the neck, too.

I have a 17 1/2" neck and the design of this device doesn't permit a good neck massage. The only way I can make it work is to literally bend the base into a curve, and I think such bending would damage the device long term. It works for shoulders, but the balls are on a plane that is too flat to get into neck muscles.

I would say no. A standard neck pillow would be more practical and comfortable.

Hello - This one is great for posture and if you don't like the bulky look of the whiplash collar - Still if there is a medical condition or cervical problem under treatment I would not recommend it as it is not intended for this type of use. It is more of a travel companion instead of the bulky collar pillow sold in the airport, its also great for working in the office and watching TV if one is concern on developing cervical problems in the future or after one has fully recuperated and wants to keep a healthy posture. Hope this helps

I would say yes. I'm 5'3" and can hold the massager over my head to reach my neck and shoulders and around my upper back and it's not too heavy for me to hold. It definitely feels better when my husband will do it but I use it myself most of the time. Hope that helps.

I use it in a chair at home and it helps with neck pain but you shouldnt fall asleep in this, it can cause more problems if you turn your head sideways in it while asleep.Its best suited for laying on flat hard surface.A u shaped neck pillow might be best for plane seat/ trip.

I had not thought about that, but it could happen - not sure if you'd want to use as a pillow for your head, but if your bed is extremely soft and you're looking for some lumbar support, I suppose that might be useful.

Dawn,I cant get it to work on my neck at all. It is just not useful for the neck the way it is built. I have to use another kind of vibrator massager for my neck. Surprised at the other two answers - I wish I could find out how they do it. sorry, after conflicting answers Im sure mine doesn't help.
