This helps with the connective tissues and tight muscles, I use the roller for hip pain (caused from a fall years ago)It gives me enough pain relief as it feels like self massage in those tight areas you roll out. There is a Melt method book on Amazon that shows how to roll out each part of the body including the neck. Hope this helps!

I would not recommend this roller. Look for the Melt Method roller. It's blue and much softer. I sent this one back because it was too hard. If Amazon does not have it, go to the Melt Method website.

I would say yes, it is very soft, which is why I returned it. I was looking for something a little firmer. On a firmness level I would rate this a 4-10

Not sure, but all my pain is in my neck and shoulders and it helps ease neck pain significantly. I think it certainly helps.

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 don't know about about back and shoulder pain but the Dr. reconmended it for my neck and it really helped with that.

the box really does not mention these parts...I have used it on oppsite sides of the neck with good results on the neck...go on either side of the spine (just like the low back) just below the inside of the top of the shoulderblade- if you go higher you will make the arms jump...put it on the back setting...my dad is 80 years old with no illness and reqested I try...I have also done it on my husband...both said it helped alotI am not a doctor- only a therapist- this is not a perscription just a recommendation

I think it would have been more helpful before the surgery. I don't know what's involved with your surgery. Hopefully no vertebrae were fused. If they were, I would be asking your doctor. If all your vertebrae are moving freely, I would give it a try. I am not a Dr. so this is only an option. Just a massage therapist. BTW: Chiropractors are the guys for nerve decompression not cutters.

Didn't find the product effective. Similar to an Ace lumbar wrap. If you are still interested, contact the maker. Believe his name is available on Amazon. You might look into a Therasage healing belt which I used for awhile. Now I've gone to a belt with magnets. It may be helping. Have you tried a chiropractor and a certified massage therapist. I'm really liking the Spoonk mat which I park at the back of a straight back chair and lean against the prickly spikes which simulate acupressure. You might also like the Nayoya (sp) which is less prickly. Good luck.

HI again! I wanted to add that topical treatments like this are a must.But there are some fantastic supplemental formulas too. CURAMIN is such a strong pain reliever that it out does my prescriptive pain relievers for certain types of pain. And I've had my shoulder pulled out of the socket by muscle spasms and then held there for a year while my massage therapist worked on tearing my muscles back into shape and it popped back in.

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.

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 cannot say, unfortunately it did not bring me relief after all. I am under the care of a chiropractor now. Not sure if I was sitting on it properly, but it did not work for me.

It's been at least a year since you posted this question, so I hope you've solved the problem by now. My parents had the same fight with me and my brother when we were young and solved it by slamming on the breaks when they saw our seat belts were off (obviously, they made sure the road conditions were safe for this!). I tumbled to the front of our van and my brother hit a cabinet. Then we got yelled at and (probably) spanked. We were unharmed, but very terrified by the experience and NEVER took our seatbelt off again. It's not a solution I can recommend, but it worked on me.

I know it's recommended not to put oil on straight. Always dilute with a carrier oil, so it doesn't burn you. Just a good olive oils works well. My daughter in law takes copaiba and peppermint in capsule form for pain. She has had 3 neck surgeries and spine is not in good shape. She buys empty capsules and puts her oils in them and takes them by mouth.

I have been using it for almost 3 months. It came recommended by my Chiropractor as I have degeneration in my upper vertebrae in my neck. I have found it to be very helpful and is helping to give me more mobility in my neck.

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.

It is really hard for me to answer this question cause she was so good about hiding her pain and never whining or anything to let us know how bad she hurt but I would say that if they have mild pain it will help them. That's about the best I can say.

It should help, my chiropractor recommend this for me because I have degenerating disc in my neck and my head falls forward but he said don't do more than 10 minutes at a time it will make you too sore.
