My issue with pain is the side of my neck, not so much the back of it. Can you rotate this sideways and still have it work effectively/stay in place?

Never did it but it should work. Worked well for me with a shoulder injury.

Yes, you can easily shift it to the area you want to treat. It has some weight so that it stays in place fairly well.

It does somewhat Zak. Combine it with a lot of neck stretching and you will do so much better. This devise actually stretches the neck upward. So unless you do other stretches such as side to side, you might still have pain and stiffness. This is regardless of herniated discs or not. Either way, stretching is the key to some relief and a pillow under the neck when you sleep on your back.

The CC model appears to have had the corners "melted" or ground to a smoother contour. I would expect it to work the same.Comfort when sitting would depend on holster placement. When directly on the side of your body it should not interfere with a bent leg or pressing into your back. You should be able to make adjustments to suit you.

To be very honest I would NOT use it on the neck, I tried it today and had such a weird feeling i had to turn it off immediately, it's like I stopped feeling my left side when I turned it on, I had to shut the machine off with my right hand since I hadn't started on that side yet, i'm sticking to shoulders and down

Yes, I think so. I usually rest my weight on it with my elbow and head. Haha. I have a back condition so leaning is something I do very often and it has been very stable for me. Hope it works as well for you.

I haven't had to use it much except on my leg, but I'd say the shape of it doesn't lend itself well to upper back. You might use it on back of neck or across a shoulder but not across a large expanse of back. There would be no way to hold it in place as the Velcro fastener wouldn't work.

I sleep on my side often and angle the pillow for my head to be kind of in the middle. Make sense? It works for me.

Yes. It's a pain in the neck. Just keep wiggling and pressing in. They'll work back into alignment eventually

No, not after you settle in and stop moving. Was my best purchase of 2013. I suffered from a stiff neck about once a month, lasting a week at a time. This pillow solved the problem. It works great to put it sideways in a regular size pillow case, tucking the remainder inside itself. This keeps the pillow thicker for side sleeping.

Mine rotates fine, maybe yours is defective. I've had it for months without any issues.

Talk to your doctor. There is A LOT of twisting which is not good for backs, depending on what your issues are.

Yes, the neck moves and you can angle it in multiple different directions. I purchased one to start. It works well so I purchased two more. Definitely worth it!

Yes, it works fine on its side but the oscillating function is pretty useless if you do so. I actually laid mine down on its side for a while and has no issues.

Hello, I did not find that I needed to do secure it. It has so many different ways to use it, you can change it to fit your specific needs. I turned it depending on my neck and which way I wanted support. It did not fall out of position. If one position didn't work, I turned it. I truly loved it, just took a bit to get used to and figure out. Best to you.

No you cannot get stuck upside down, there is a safety strap to prevent you from pivoting too far and the grab handles are in a position where you can easily reach them from any position and it's very easy to flip back up once inverted. The manual has the proper technique you should follow, which my chiropractor confirmed. It's a smooth free motion not restricted by the machine and takes very little effort to hold a position or move to a new position

For me it held my head at too high of an angle. So, no it was not good for my neck. I have had much better luck with the Duro-Med Hugg-A-Pillow.

Probably could help if you use it consistently and properly. When I first started using this it was quite painful and I can really see the difference after a few months. My chiropractor highly recommended it and I trust him.
