"Dear Dr. Gilliam,I'd like to send you an
enthusiastic testimonial regarding the at-home NeckPro. I have been in chiropractic practice for 16
years and have dispensed 100's of over-the-door water and weight bag units with few results, save the
complaints of difficulty of use and "can't I hurt myself with that?". I have given out 8 NeckPros in
the past 4 months and the results, as well as compliance, has been astounding. No more long winded, 15
minute demonstrations and admonitions to get help when using it. It's proven invaluable for geriatric
patients for which other devices were untenable, and it actually offers substantial relief after office
treatments end. Thank you so much for your well thought out product!! Jay Kennedy"
The NECKpro® over-door traction device, developed by Larry Gilliam, MD,
eliminates the bag of water or weights and the trial and error method of traction therapy offered by conventional
home over-door traction systems. By using a precision compression spring coupled with a patented rope ratchet, the
NECKpro delivers a more precise amount of cervical traction incrementally. Each audible “click” of
the ratchet signals an approximate 1 lb. increase in the tension being applied; i.e., 1 click equals 1 lb., 2
clicks equals 2 lbs. and so on. This allows the patient to monitor and track these increases for maximum benefit
during each therapy session. Once the patient has reached the desire level of traction or clicks, simply release
the rope and relax for the duration of each therapy session. The ratchet locks
automatically, maintaining the desiredtension/traction. The high quality head halter is comfortable and easy to apply.
The quick release straps on the halter make exiting the device at the end of a therapy session very simple,
even under high levels of traction. The NECKpro is simple, easy, effective and portable. It comes completely
assembled, ready to use right out of the box and is the perfect travel companion. “Relief is just a click
away”, so don’t be without one at home or on the road. Advantages of Using
NeckPro * Simple, easy, effective, portable & affordable * No assembly required. No cumbersome
weights, waterbags or pulleys * Most user-friendly cervical traction unit available * Head and neck are not
locked in one position but remain free allowing rotation and extension
concurrent with traction to achieve maximum mobility and relaxation. The ratcheting mechanism enables
incremental adjustment of the tension without having to dismantle and reassemble the unit. * Tension is
directed unilinear and is referenced by an audible signal or clicking sound of the ratchet mechanism. Benefits
of Using NeckPro * Promotes relaxation * Reduces stress and tension * Reduces, if not eliminates, the need for
costly pain medication * Aids in returning to normal sleeping habits * Reduces the effects of aging on the
spine due to gravity * Aids in returning normal neck mobility, flexibility and range of motion * May postpone
or eliminate surgical intervention for cervical disc disease * Aids in returning the spine to its anatomical
posture In summary, for those individuals who have no medical condition to prevent its use and have the noted
conditions that will benefit from cervical traction, the NeckPro will provide these positive realities.
Instructions Mount metal door bracket over top center of door. Engage release
tab on bracket and lower harness for applying to head and neck. Sit in chair with your back firmly
against back of chair, and the chair pushed back against door. Assume position of comfort and keep same
position in order to maintain static tension traction. Apply harness to back of head and chin. For comfort,
place chinstrap so that it embraces the for ward structure of the chin in a cupping or concave manner. Pull
hook and loop strap forward and attach to patches on both sides of the chinstrap. Ensure a firm grip to back
of head and neck. Tighten harness by pulling down on white cord. Ease up on cord after each click to sense the
increased tension/traction. When you sense the first tug or lift, begin counting the clicks. Each click equals
an approximate one pound increase in traction or tension, up to approximately 20 pounds maximum.
Release/remove harness. DO NOT release harness by reaching up to tab on ratchet, but rather, grasp forward end
of hook and loop straps, pull back and up behind head for ease of removal. Recommended regimen 5-10 pounds
(clicks) of tension for 10 minutes a.m. and p.m. until you obtain therapeutic pain relief and then as needed.
* Attention: Use as directed by your licensed medical practitioner to be sure you have no medical or physical
condition, which would preclude its use. Use only according to the above instructions. DO NOT modify or
disassemble. Keep away from children. Indications Symptomatic pain relief for the following conditions

More Testimonials: Dear Friend: After having an MRI and finding that I had a deteriorating disk in my neck and
also a pinched nerve, I was told by my orthopedist that surgery was the next step. He suggested a block and
tackle device, but I was unable to find one. So, I purchased a NeckPro at the drugstore to see if I could
obtain any relief from the pain, numbness and loss of strength I was having in my arm and hand. After two uses
of the NeckPro for 15 minutes each, I began seeing positive results. Two weeks later, the pain and numbness
were gone and the strength was beginning to return to my arm and hand. I would highly recommend the NECK-PRO
to anyone with neck and shoulder problems before opting for surgery or any kind of invasive
procedure. Sincerely, Leland M. Hatfield I would like to
personally thank you for the NeckPro. Although I am fortunate not to have anatomic vertebral pathology,
tension headaches are an unfortunate reality. With occasional use of the NeckPro for as little as 5 or 10
minutes, the relief of tension headaches is now a reality. Good luck with marketing your new invention. When
the word gets out, they will sell themselves. John S. Aggers,
MD Dear Dr. Gilliam: I am writing to congratulate you for developing the therapeutic cervical
traction device. I also wanted you to know how much your NeckPro helped me to stay active in doing volunteer
work and playing sports. At age 65, I started playing volleyball and other sports in the Senior Games. I found
that some sports irritated my arthritic neck, and the only way I could get relief would be to apply some form
of traction. After going through therapy at a local hospital several times, I purchased a traction device that
applied traction by filling a bag with water and hanging over a door. This was not very efficient; as a set
amount of water did not supply the exact amount of traction I needed on any given day. With the NeckPro, I can
quickly and easily apply the right amount of traction to get the relief I need. Now at age 79, I feel
confident that I will be able to continue participating in Senior Games. With the help of the NeckPro, I
believe I will be able to play table tennis, badminton and swim for many more years. If I become aware of
anyone that experiences the same cervical problems that I do, I will certainly recommend that they try the
NeckPro to keep them active. Sincerely, Gene Blaes Just over a year ago I fell and compressed four vertebrae
in my back. I was visiting a chiropractor four and five times a week to relieve the pain. I also experienced
extreme sensitivity in my shoulder and back and numbness in my hands and feet. I had some trouble returning to
work because clothing caused pain in my shoulder and back. I purchased your NeckPro and began using it every
other day for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. I was able to reduce my chiropractor visits to once a week within
three months and stopped taking pain medicine for my shoulder and back. I was able to return to work soon
after with only mild problems with sensitivity. I am still working with my chiropractor and using the NeckPro
as I need it. I want to thank you for the NeckPro and all it has to help me through this experience. Tom
