Glad you found something that relieves your pain. I was rear ended and was in a neck brace for a long time. The emergency doc was not too concerned and told me to stay in the brace. WRONG advice. I went for a second opinion and that doctor sent me to an acupuncturist who gave treatments and instruction on careful excercise. He said staying the in the neck brace would cause my neck muscles to atrophy. I will always be grateful for the latter doctors. They saved me from a lot of pain and helped me to recover much faster. I pretty much have all my range of motion now.
