how well would this work for a person who has neck pain every single day

It may depend on the cause of the pain. I recently purchased 2 so I can warm up the 2nd before the 1st one gets too cool. An electric heating pad may work as well, but electric doesn't allow the wearer to move about freely. The electric pad, though, will keep a constant temperature.

I purchased mine for neck pain and must say when I use it, it does work. Very pleased with this item and it can also be used for other body parts.

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 haven't used it for headaches but I'd use it full strength if I did, and put it on the back of the neck.

I only wore it for about two hours while working at my desk. It didn't help with the pain at all. I'll be having surgery soon to fix the problem in my neck. My issue was too advanced for this to help. I returned it.

it works great for me, you can adjust it to your height of the neck and width of your neck. would recommend this

If you are already using a "wired" tens unit on your lower neck and upper back, you'd probably be ok, even though it doesn't say you can use it for your neck. I don't recall it actually being called a tens unit, but it's the same principle. It is not as powerful as one your doctor would get you from a medical supply company.

Haven't tried. It's on my neck for half an hour at most--not sweaty and no food near it, and I don't use it every day. I suspect the manufacturer is the one to ask. I have a feeling you can't because of the foam, but they may say otherwise. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I am satisfied with it for my purposes-- which is some periodic neck tension relief.

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 don't really know. It seemed to help my neck for a while. But just for a while. My son is now trying it on his back. I don't know if the thing really works or not.

It works awesome for mid and lower back pain. I use it every day when i wake up and it truly helps relieve the tension

Yes it will. I was very active when younger and from surfing and skiing suffered several neck injuries that I am paying the price for today at 60 (wouldn't change a thing). I am still very active and have had trouble in the past sleeping with poor posture and waking up with my neck screaming at me. I decided to try this collar and have been very pleased with the result. A secondary benefit is that because it keeps your chin from dropping it will stop snoring. The collar is a good value and if it doesn't work for you Amazon will let you return it so you have nothing to lose. Good luck, give it try, and happy sleeping. Yes it will.

I agree with previous comment - this is GREAT, but for the neck , not low back. I've also had lumbar back issues and use a back extension device called True Back Sport (got it years ago and not sure it's still available) - also for free so even better, I do McKenzie exercise for lumbar spine - which is lying on stomach on the floor, relaxing hips, pelvis and legs into floor then pushing upper body up with arms so back extends and holding for a while (I do a count of ten), then relax back down and repeat (5 to 10 times). This (plus some weight training, core body strengthening) has kept my lower back happy for years : ) I agree with previous comment - this is GREAT, but for the neck , not low back.

I agree with Emily ... I think it would be way too painful to put your full weight on this model. I know some people have had great results but my wife found it pretty painful to use and very cumbersome to use sitting upright in a chair for neck massages. We sent ours back.

Absolutely yes. I have cervical (neck) issues and this pillow makes a world of difference for me. It is designed to give the perfect contour and support. Wouldn't want to go back to living without it. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure. I would think it might help with the neck pain... But I mostly don't feel much on my neck while using the pillow. I mostly use the pillow for my head and shoulders. It seems to help.

I purchased this item for my neck and it did not work well for me. I returned the item.

I think that the neck is quite sturdy. In fact, when I do adjust it, I use both of my hands to do it. Surely wouldn't think that you would have any problems with it staying in place.
