The Cervical Traction Pillow is two neck pillows in one. If you are using the traction “V” side you can turn it (or rotate the pillow) and then you can sleep on the Linear Gravity side (see picture on the right side). This pillow just has the neck roll, no “V” for traction. The “V” on the traction side also has a neck roll at the bottom of the “V”.
The neck roll is built on both sides because it is vital to proper neck traction, or what I like to call “true neck traction.” Just simply stretching the neck helps, and is good because it opens up all these nerve holes. But restoring the neck curve is also a major component to opening up your neural foramen. Restoring ones neck curves does this and not only reduces nerve pressure temporarily but helps to achieve lasting neck pain relief.
So, you can see how the neck roll is just as important as the traction aspect. When combined it makes a significant difference. Remember the statement "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts". It truly applies to the arc4life pillow and is just one reason of many I like it so much.
