Statistics indicate around 75% of the worlds population experience neck pain at various times. Neck pain ranks as one of the top 5 disorders people suffer from.

The Neck Pain Gone brace is slipped onto back of the neck thus does not interfere with the delicate neck front. It does not immobilize the neck as do most neck braces which can complicate neck problems by weakening neck muscles. The brace does not have to be on continuously to relieve pain but can be slipped on and off for a few minutes situation requires.
Neck Pain Gone is composed of one piece PLA plastic. It is unobtrusive, lightweight, can be used while sleeping, walking, exercising, driving or working. It easily fits in a purse or backpack for travel. Manufacturing costs would be minimal under a dollar.
A patent search reveals there are no similar devices patented. A market search shows these is no similar product available. The brace has a large market potential.
The "Neck Pain Gone" is in patent pending status. I am looking for a firm or individual to further the commercialization of this product. Available on Amazon.
