I have a pinched nerve on my neck and it gives a pain down to my shoulder. Would this device help relieving the pain? Thanks

My left arm was going numb. After 3 days and 30 min a day. Arm not numb. Use it daily now about 20 min. Works great.

This device stimulates your muscles rather than manipulates them manually as a previous response states. I think this is a wonderful device. It is small and I can take it anywhere. This winter I am back to painless snow shoveling. Previously I would be in pain for weeks following a shoveling event. I move easier and no longer fear the pain which always makes it worse.

No, it will probably help a little bit - it may take a few minutes longer for the numbness to set in, but this is not a good solution for pressure relief. I have a similar issue, but not as severe. At the moment I do not own a better solution, so I continue to use this cushion, but my thighs still go numb. Possibly a gel cushion might help you. Also check into cushions used for wheelchairs and rehab.

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.

I have not found any relief from my pain. Maybe my pain has been with me too long. I had been in pain for 12 years. Nerve was compressed in my neck going down my arm. Stupid doctors couldn't find out what was wrong. I still take it though hoping it will start to work. I have been taking for about 2 weeks.

I find it very useful in this respect. This wonderful contraption can be positioned to reach trigger points on most parts of the body. With practice, you will enjoy great relief. Good luck and feel better.

If the pain is muscular, it might help. It's eased some of the stress in my back when I sit for long periods. Depends on the type and reason for pain, and posture when sitting. I also use it as a back support (behind my lower back) when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV or reading. It's great for that in my case.

It is for the neck only. Which might relieve some pain down the spine depending on your physical issues, but it will only stretch the neck.

I wore it for the 3 hours and was able to do a few things that I haven't been able to do, and it helped. It didn't fully get rid of the pain, but it definitely helped it a little. I'm not sure if it would prevent further injury, my shoulder is so bad that i can't lift my arm

I bought this for my lower back problem causing Sciatica pains, difficult to move and sleep side ways. I was hoping this pillow will help in my condition. However, it does not have much to do in helping the back problem. In your case with neck and brain injury, that would be different story. I do not have same experience to guide you if it would be helpful to you or not. So, sorry.

Yes probably at a slower speed. I use it on my shoulders and neck and feel it helps work out tension

I use it mainly for my lower back. I do however feel a release of pressure all along my spine while inverted. It may well help your neck. I hope this has been of assistance to you.

It may help some. I like it better than ones I got from the doctor. They all can limit the movement of your thumb, but for me this one eliminates a good bit of pain.

Sorry, have never used that device before. The neck king to me was just an uncomfortable piece of plastic.

No, but you might be able to get some relief from a sore neck from this product.

I think this would depend on the cause of the neck pain. The pillow is large and stiff enough for me that if I put it under my neck it pushes into the arch of my neck and helps break up tension. For tension and stress related pain I imagine this might work for you. For skeletal type pain such as a herniated disc or pinched nerve I do not think this would help.

No. Actually to be very honest I don't know what that one is for. It's not comfortable or soothing at all. It did nothing for my very pain filled back. But several of the other attachments did work very well.
