Based on the concept of the inversion table medical device for decompressing the lower part of the spine, NeckFix works by concentrating on the upper part of the cervical spine (neck) where the main muscles of the neck are located, including the trapezius, levator scapulae and splenius muscles, all of which are attached to the base of the skull.
The neck muscles can tighten up under stress and incorrect neck posture, causing pain and lightheadedness due to poor blood circulation. The NeckFix inflatable collar fits around the neck and comes with a pump that allows you to manually and gently inflate the collar to stretch the muscles of the neck to relief pressure on the spinal cord.
By lifting up (and stretching) the neck muscles, NeckFix is able to effectively relief tension by untensing the neck muscles and lifting the cervical (neck) spine.
Not only NeckFix relaxes the neck muscles, it also provides better neck support, helping un-pinch any trapped spinal nerves, allowing better flow of blood/oxygen to the brain and reduce dizziness, headaches, vertigo and herniated cervical discs.
NeckFix comes in two different sizes to accommodate slim and stockier necks. Getting the correct size is important, although NeckFix does integrate velcro straps to help adjust NeckFix to size in order to find the sweet spot between too loose and too tight.
NeckFix has the approval of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) agency, which means the FDA has determined that the benefits of NeckFix outweighs the known risks, which are strangulation and neck strain caused by stretching the neck muscles tendons too far by over-inflating the collar.
