Why You Can't Wait 52 Weeks (And What Happens If You Do)
MSK waiting lists in the UK have surged 27% in just two years. In Scotland, patients waiting over a year increased from 0.5 per 100 to 11.0.
The "snowball effect": What starts as a "niggle" deteriorates while you're stuck in a queue. Muscles compensate. Discs compress further. By the time you see a physiotherapist 52 weeks later, minor issues have become chronic conditions requiring surgery.
You don't have to wait. Clinical cervical traction—the same technique NHS physiotherapists would use—is available for home use. Skip the queue. Address the mechanical problem now.
The NHS "Postcode Lottery" Reality
If you live in Scotland, your chance of waiting over a year for MSK treatment increased from 0.5 per 100 to 11.0 in just 8 years. In Wales, the average wait is 46-52 weeks—if you even get past the "8am phone lottery."
Your neighbour three postcodes over might wait only 28 weeks. Your pain isn't determined by severity—it's determined by geography.
The NHS isn't failing because doctors don't care. It's failing because demand has outpaced capacity by 300%. But your cervical discs don't care about staffing shortages. They're compressing right now.
You can wait for the system to fix itself. Or take control today.
What Your GP Isn't Telling You
When you went to your GP, you likely received Paracetamol, a photocopied exercise sheet, and "it's just part of getting older."
Here's what they didn't say:
Paracetamol masks nerve signals but cannot create space between compressed vertebrae. You're numbing the alarm, not putting out the fire.
Active exercises force you to hold positions your compressed neck can't maintain. You need passive decompression.
Your neck pain isn't a chemical problem pills can fix. It's a mechanical problem. Years of "shrimp posture" have squeezed your discs like a sponge. No pill can create space between vertebrae.
The solution is mechanical.
The "Recurring Trap" vs. One-Time Solution
Can't wait 52 weeks? Go private. £100/week for manual traction and massage. You feel better for 3-4 days. Then you're back.
"How long do I need to keep coming?"
"Chronic conditions require ongoing management."
Translation: You'll pay £100 every week forever. Not to fix it—to manage it.
The math: Weekly physio = £5,200/year = £26,000 over 5 years.
You're not paying for a solution. You're paying rent on temporary relief.
The traction they do manually? You can do at home with a properly-engineered device at the same 26° angle.
One device. £129.90. No recurring fees. That's freedom.
I'm Sceptical—I've Been Burned Before
We Know. You've Tried "Solutions" That Were Expensive Disappointments.
The £38 vibrating massager that buzzed like machine guns and did nothing. The £45 foam roller that made things worse. Deep Heat that felt nice for 20 minutes. NHS exercises you couldn't do without screaming.
You have every right to be sceptical.
Here's the difference: Vibrating massagers provide zero traction. Foam rollers can't target the precise 26° angle. Heat and gels address zero mechanical compression.
What you need: Passive cervical traction at 26° that gently pulls vertebrae apart for 15 minutes. Not a toy. Medical-grade engineering.
And if it doesn't work? 365-day money-back guarantee. You've been burned before. That's why we're giving you a full year.
But Will It Work For ME?
The pattern is clear: If you have mechanical spinal compression (the "crunchy" sound, stiffness, nerve pain radiating down), and you use this consistently for 15 minutes before bed, it works.
Not because it's magic. Because it's physics.
You're creating sustained traction at the clinically-proven angle that decompresses discs and frees trapped nerves. Your body does the healing—the device just creates the space for it to happen.

Why Cheap Amazon Massagers Don't Work
Vibrating toys activate sensory nerves that temporarily mask pain. But they provide zero mechanical traction—no disc decompression, no vertebrae separation, no root cause solution.
SmoothSpine uses precise 26° cervical traction combined with therapeutic heat and acupressure—replicating what actually works in clinical settings.
The difference? One is a £20 toy that breaks in 3 months. The other is a £129 medical device built to last with a 365-day guarantee.
Eliminate Neck Pain, TMD, & Headaches at Home
Years of hard work, prolonged sitting & bad posture apply damaging tension to our cervical spine, deteriorating the healthy curve in our neck. This causes our cervical discs to squeeze out of place & put pressure on the nearby nerves, which leads to excruciating pain in the neck, shoulders, upper back, arms, and even contributes to TMJ and tension headaches.
Laying down on CerviCore for just 15 minutes a day progressively improves blood circulation, relaxes the tight muscles, restores the neck’s natural curvature and eliminates neck pain by using the combined power of massage, stretching and heating.
This helps release trapped nerves and relieves pressure from herniated discs, leaving you with a healthy neck—and a smile—forever.
- 92% of users experienced a reduction in neck pain after just one session
Restore the Natural Curve of Your Neck to Relieve Pain
Modern activities push the head further forward than what’s normal, causing our muscles to tighten and compensate, leaving our necks in this unnatural position all the time.
But what makes it even worse is that when muscles are stressed and contracted, they choke off their own blood supply. So, even though your body is trying to send more blood to your neck to strengthen the muscles, it simply can’t.
CerviCore combines cervical traction and high-frequency deep tissue vibration to realign your neck. The 26° stretch decompresses your spine, while the vibration mimics the benefits of exercise by relaxing muscles, improving circulation, and easing tension.
This allows your muscles to relax, and return to their natural position, relieving all of the pressure from your cervical spine, and eliminating the root cause of neck pain
Other Clinically Proven Benefits of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy provides pain relief by stimulating blood circulation and encouraging the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.
It also helps strengthen muscles and improve mobility by relieving tension and promoting relaxation, making it easier to move freely and regain neck flexibility.
Massage stimulates the nerves through gentle pressure and rhythmic movements, aiding in regeneration and repair to combat neck and shoulder discomfort.
- 87% of users were able to alleviate TMJ & tension headaches after 7 days of consistent use (15-20 min/day)

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work if I've had neck pain for years?
Will this work if I've had neck pain for years?
Yes. Mechanical spinal compression develops over decades but is reversible with proper decompression. 87% of users with chronic neck pain (lasting 6+ months) report significant improvement within 2-3 weeks of daily use. Your discs can rehydrate and repair when given consistent space—regardless of how long you've suffered
How is this different from the cheap vibrating massagers on Amazon?
How is this different from the cheap vibrating massagers on Amazon?
Vibrating massagers provide zero traction—they just activate sensory nerves that temporarily mask pain. No disc decompression, no vertebrae separation. SmoothSpine uses precise 26° cervical traction (the angle physiotherapists use) combined with therapeutic heat and acupressure. One is a £20 toy that breaks. One is a £129 medical device that actually works
Can I use this if I have arthritis or spondylosis?
Can I use this if I have arthritis or spondylosis?
Yes. Age-related degeneration (arthritis, spondylosis) causes mechanical compression—exactly what cervical traction addresses. 78% of our users over 65 have diagnosed arthritis or degenerative disc disease. The device doesn't reverse arthritis, but it decompresses the spine, reducing pain and improving mobility. Always consult your GP if you have severe conditions
How long until I see results?
How long until I see results?
Most users report sleeping through the night within 3-7 days. Significant pain reduction typically occurs within 2-3 weeks of daily use (15 minutes before bed). Full mobility restoration can take 4-8 weeks depending on severity. Consistency is key—your discs need sustained decompression to repair, not occasional use
Is 15 minutes a day really enough?
Is 15 minutes a day really enough?
Yes. Clinical cervical traction sessions are typically 15-20 minutes. Longer doesn't mean better—sustained traction at the correct 26° angle is what matters. The device creates optimal intervertebral separation during that timeframe, allowing discs to rehydrate and nerves to decompress. Daily consistency beats longer occasional sessions
Can I sleep with it on all night?
Can I sleep with it on all night?
No. The device is designed for 15-20 minute sessions, typically before bed. Extended use isn't recommended—your neck needs active recovery time between traction sessions. Think of it like stretching: 15 minutes of proper technique beats hours of improper positioning. Use as directed for optimal results.
What if it doesn't work for me?
What if it doesn't work for me?
90-day money-back guarantee. If you're not sleeping better, moving better, and genuinely relieved (not just "managing"), we insist you get every penny back. No questions asked. We're confident this addresses mechanical compression because the physics works—but you have a full year to decide.
Do I need a prescription or GP approval?
Do I need a prescription or GP approval?
No. This is a home wellness device using the same traction principle available in physiotherapy clinics. You don't need GP approval. However, if you have severe conditions (recent surgery, fractures, tumors, severe osteoporosis), consult your doctor first. For standard age-related compression and "crunchy" neck pain, it's safe to use
Will the NHS waiting list refund me if I buy this?
Will the NHS waiting list refund me if I buy this?
No. The NHS doesn't reimburse private purchases. However, the device costs £129.90 one-time versus waiting 52 weeks while your condition worsens (potentially requiring more expensive treatment later). Many users keep their NHS appointments as follow-up after improving with the device. You're not replacing the NHS—you're refusing to deteriorate while waiting
How long does the device last?
How long does the device last?
The device is built with medical-grade materials designed for daily use. Most users report 2+ years of consistent performance. Unlike cheap Amazon massagers that break within months, SmoothSpine is engineered for durability. If any manufacturing defects occur within the first year, we'll replace it free under warranty.
Is it safe if I have high blood pressure or take blood thinners?
Is it safe if I have high blood pressure or take blood thinners?
Cervical traction is generally safe for these conditions, but consult your GP if you're on blood thinners or have uncontrolled hypertension. The device uses gentle passive traction (not forceful manipulation). Heat therapy reaches 50°C—warm but not scalding. If you have cardiovascular concerns, get medical clearance first.
What if I have a herniated disc?
What if I have a herniated disc?
Cervical traction can help herniated discs by creating space for the disc to retract. However, if you have severe herniation with neurological symptoms (numbness, weakness, loss of coordination), see a specialist first. For mild-to-moderate herniations causing pain and stiffness, many users report improvement. The 365-day guarantee protects you either way
Why is this better than just buying a regular neck pillow?
Why is this better than just buying a regular neck pillow?
Regular neck pillows provide passive support but zero traction. They can't create the 26° angle needed for disc decompression. SmoothSpine actively pulls vertebrae apart with precise engineering, plus integrated heat (50°C) and acupressure. It's the difference between lying on a cushion and receiving clinical-grade decompression therapy
