How does the Halo actually alleviate headaches and neck pain ?
Most tension headaches and neck pain result from the restriction of Arteries and veins which carry blood to the fine layers of muscle which cover the skull. The weight of the Halo gently releases muscle constriction and allows for increased blood circulation; hence, headaches and muscle tension pain are reduced or eliminated.
How long should I wear the Halo ?
For most individuals, five to fifteen minutes is adequate. When worn for the first time, some individuals may feel a slight sense of dizziness or feeling off balance. This sensation is normal and is the result of proprioception. Proprioceptors are sensors located in our eyes, ears, and spine and they control the body's righting reflexes. The body is simply adjusting to the added weight placed on the head and should pass quickly.
