Does it give pain relief for neck and back pain?

I take it for my knee problem--that I have since I was 16. Without it, it is painful to exercise or climb steps. I notice no change whatsoever in my back and neck pain, though. I actually had no idea it was indicated for that too...

Since I started using nopal cactus planetary I can say for me it has helped my lower back pain, I would advise you to do a little research on google, and you will see how good cactus is good for you in so many ways. This is the brand I use because I have spinal stenosis back issues, and this seems to help me, in addition to swimming. I am able to stand up for longer periods of time now. Just give it some time. I recommend using it for at least six months or so. Take it to your doctor, and if they do not support you using it. Than you need to switch doctors, you see that they are out to keep you coming back, to spend more money with them. Stop taking those chemicals, and start using natural supplement from nature. Good luck to you.

it does, but you only use one side of the pillow and it has a barrier to keep the cold away from you. as for lower back pain, i cannot say one way or the other. sorry. hope this helps you some. a gel ice pack and a heating pad used alternately might work.

I didn't have pain concentrated in my neck so I can't give a definitive yes or no on that specifically.. BUT I know that my back feels 100% relief after strenuous exercise (Olympic Lifting) and my neck feels a lot less tense each time. I use it daily even when I don't feel tense and still feel an improved sense of being after.. I hope that helps and I hope it works for you if you get it!

I don't know if it's used for that. I know it works great on my partially herniated disks in my neck and my shoulder joints.

Yes,I really like it. I had a bad whip lash years ago and this pillow helps me a lot when my neck pain acts up.

Not directly. It gives a really good stretch to my neck which helps relax my jaw...crazy answer, but the best I can do.

It doesn't correct posture permanently, it only helps. So I use it when my back is hurting to help. I will say it's the best one on the market. It just helps you from not hunching over.

I believe it did but all you need to know is to put in on the back of your neck just under the two bones on the side of the center of your head. Let your head fall back slightly and get immediate relief from you neck pain. Also relieves headaches! After about 10 min. turn you head to the right and then to the left for about 5 min. I might hurt slightly for the first couple times but increase min. slowly and you will eventually turn to it whenever you head or neck hurts. I believe I saw pictures of how to use it on line. perhaps you could look it up.

I have found that it does. However it may depend on the type of muscle injury you may have. I use it a lot for my arthritis and fibromyalgia pain. Over all I would recommend it for almost all types of muscle pain,

I'm not sure. I used it for inflammation like back and shoulder pain and it did a good job.

It does work on joint pain. My chiropractor recommended it for my sacroiliac pain and it definitely helps.

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.

It might, but the purpose for this lumbar pillow is to give support to your lower back. If you have achinghips, you might want to go to a ''Soft Touch'' Technique Chiropractor. Soak in some Epson salt, and rinse off afterwards. Call around to a Chiropractor in your area, and ask if they do that type of Modality/Technique in their practice, if they don't ask them if they know of one. Hope this helps. Truthful

it does help, but I also stretch everyday, so I think stretching and the pillow helps with my sciatic pain.

I suppose all pain is different for individuals, but for me neck pain often stems from computer work... I guess it starts in shoulders and upper back and moves up into neck. As this product really seems to relieve tension in upper back and shoulders, I say Yes it does. The neck pillow seems a bit too thick to me, and I often do not use it in conjunction with the mat. I really like doing the 'dead bug' yoga pose on the mat, but I should say that I prefer wearing a T shirt while using the mat.

I can't say it relieves jaw tension. Only that when my neck feels less tense, my face can also relax. I have not had any jaw tension problems since starting to use this product on a regular basis.
