I searched Amazon one night when a headache was interfering with my sleep for a solution in hopes of saving myself from spending a small fortune on more frequent chiropractic appointments and massage therapy.
I am thrilled I tried the occipivot. It is just the solution I was looking for. After a few minutes with my head cradled in this contraption, I can feel my occipial ridge release and relax - eliminating headaches and dicomfort. Any time I feel the slightest tightening behind my ears and at the base of my skull, I use this, and my problems have been elimated. I started using this product just over a month ago, and at my most recent monthly chiropractic appointment, I did not need the occipito-atlanto adjustment .... For the first time in months!
I will say, the occipivot does not perfectly cradle my head so that the pressure is applied to my entire occiptal ridge simultaneously. I have to turn my head a bit to the right and left and hold it at a bit of an angle to get some areas to release. But the few extra minutes is worth it.
I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone who is sifferering from headaches and TMJ (my headaches were a result of jutting out my chin and clenching my jaw, which also causes TMJ. Being more aware of NOT doing that action has also helped.) - this thing seriously is a game changer. No more sleepless nights due to excrutiating headaches and neck pain.
UPDATE: I have been using this product for 5 months and am still thrilled with the results. In 5 months, I have not needed a single occipito-atlanto adjustment at my chiropractor nor have I lost any sleep due to severe headaches. This has been a great investment into my comfort and overall happiness!
