Understanding the cause
Why Hours at a Desk Leave Your Neck Feeling Compressed
Every inch your head drifts forward toward a screen adds more load for your cervical spine to carry. The small joints, discs, and nerve pathways in your neck end up bearing pressure they weren't built to hold for hours at a time.
Over time, that added pressure keeps the surrounding muscles in a near-constant state of tension — which is part of why neck stiffness so often doesn't resolve with rest alone.
Gentle traction works differently from a massage. Instead of only working the muscles, it gently stretches and decompresses the neck — creating space between the vertebrae to ease pressure on the discs and joints — and pairing it with heat helps the surrounding muscles relax into the stretch.

Secure it around your neck, dial in your traction level, and let it hold for up to 30 minutes while you sit back and relax.
Dial it in
Five Traction Levels, One Simple Adjustment
Twist the side dials to raise the front support in small, controlled steps, gently stretching your neck to create space between the vertebrae. Start low while you get used to the sensation, then work up to a deeper stretch as your neck adjusts.
Stays comfortable
Cotton-Woven Lining Against Your Skin
The inside of the collar is lined with a soft woven fabric that sits gently against your neck, so the structured support underneath doesn't feel hard or stiff against your skin.
Warmth built in
Adjustable Heat, From Warm to Hot
A built-in carbon fiber heating pad offers three heat settings — 45°C, 55°C, and 65°C — so you can choose a gentle warm-compress feel or turn it up for a deeper, more noticeable warmth, powered by a simple USB connection.
Hands-free
Sit Back and Let It Hold
Once it's secured and adjusted, there's nothing left to hold in place. Sit upright at your desk, relax on the couch, or move through your afternoon while it quietly works for you.

Weigh your options
How Does This Compare to What You've Already Tried?
Most people land here after trying a few other things first — here's an honest comparison.
Conventional approaches
A flat foam neck pillow — passive support only, no traction or heat.
A chiropractor or physical therapist — effective, but a scheduled appointment (and a copay) every time.
OTC pain relievers — ease the moment, not the underlying pressure.
A basic heating pad — warmth only, with no traction or decompression.
Manual neck stretches — easy to do inconsistently or with poor form.
The Traction Collar Approach
Adjustable traction and heat combined in one collar.
Use it at your desk or on the couch — no appointment required.
Reusable for years — no per-session cost after the initial purchase.
Five traction levels, so it's comfortable from the very first use — no trial and error needed.
One-time purchase — no recurring co-pays.
A Single Chiropractic Session
$65 /session
That's a typical U.S. rate for a single visit — and ongoing tension usually means paying that same rate again, appointment after appointment.
The Traction Collar
$32.47 once
One purchase, unlimited sessions, for years — a fraction of the cost of a single visit.
Why it actually works
Cervical Traction, Backed by Research
Findings from published studies on cervical traction, explained in plain terms.
In a study of 58 patients using a simple home cervical traction routine twice daily, 81% reported symptomatic relief — gentle, consistent traction done regularly at home.

In a pilot study using 30-minute traction sessions twice a day for five days, 47% of participants saw a clinically meaningful improvement in neck disability at the 3-month follow-up.
