I am specifically looking for tension headache relief, pressure on back of neck. Suggestions for what setting would be best for this?

I like them all. Try limited time on each setting, pick one you like best. Jack

I tried it on my neck and tried to position the pads where my acupuncturist puts the electric pins into my neck. It resulted in a very unpleasant feeling in my neck and throat. So I'm saying do not use it on your neck. I took one for the team and can tell you that my body sent me a strong signal to stop the treatment as soon as I started.

On the low setting, and perhaps using the infrared side on medium. The single massage point is very strong and works better on large muscles like hips and thighs. I find using the infrared side works OK for smaller areas. You might want to try a different massager.

I use this for about 30 minutes...but if you are sitting at a desk all day...put it on low and just keep it on...I have and stretch my neck and rotate my shoulders to give myself a nice mini-massage with warm muscles.

I've had mine for more than 15 years, used daily if my neck is problematic, then maybe not for months at a time. The foam is starting to deteriorate so I'm going to get a new one. I get headaches at the base of my skull and this is the only thing that relieves them.

Yes! Neck king is great. Also check out the posture pump And the back nobber II!

Just the right amount of pressure, all equal. W/minimal hair mussed. Never too rough. Better than fingertips or nails. I found helpful w/headache...

between my eyes and at my temples in the hairline, be careful not to get into your eyes. You might try putting on the base of your skull also could be that your stress has your neck tensed up. Hope this works!

I have arthritis in my neck and suffered incredible neck pain & severe headaches. I purchased the Tri-Core, Standard regular size pillow. It took about a week for my body to adjust to it and now I rarely wake up with the pain. Hope it works for you.

Hi Yousef - it's helpful for lower back pain. I used to have pain from driving. My physical therapist showed me I was driving way too far away from the steering wheel. Your hands should be at the 4:00 and 8:00 o'clock positions, believe it or not. A few sessions with a physical therapist and a personal trainer to strengthen muscles which will get your posture where it should be would work way better than this TENS unit. That's my advice.

I currently use it BECAUSE I'm having major neck issues. It helps with your posture in that it pulls the shoulders back. It makes your head feel heavy when you take it off at night. I hope this helps. If you're already having neck issues, hopefully it is helping to keep them from getting much worse.

Very difficult for the back I don't even attempt it anymore. Better to use a trueback. www.trueback.com. But the Neck King is excellent for the neck.

You Lay Down Carefully. By Letting Your Back Spine To Realign. Do This For No More Than 15 min. Then Slowly Turn Sideways Rest A Moment Then You Can Get Up. It Really Helps For Back Ache, Neck Pain. as told by chiropractor. And Don't Forget You Pillow!

Haven't tried. It's on my neck for half an hour at most--not sweaty and no food near it, and I don't use it every day. I suspect the manufacturer is the one to ask. I have a feeling you can't because of the foam, but they may say otherwise. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I am satisfied with it for my purposes-- which is some periodic neck tension relief.

I am currently using it on the top of my desk. It definitely helps to not have to strain your neck. I currently have it on the second setting, and it works out fine for eye level.

I know you are never supposed to use any kind of TENS machine on the neck, face or chest, as it can affect heart rhythm. I use it on my back, hips and legs....if you need a specific area, google tens machine and the area, and you will come up with a better answer for those areas than I can give you...I want you to know though, I get nice relief in the areas I mentioned!

The massage areas are leg (ottoman), thigh, lumbar and back. You will feel the vibration in your neck, head area. It is not a massage, but more of a vibration. I enjoy having the lumbar setting on with heat. Really nice!
