Physiotherapy Room Inflatable Home Neck Traction Device

Newly redesigned ergonomically with advice from our physiotherapists, these inflatable neck traction units look like three neck pillows stacked on top of each other.   You place the pillows around your neck and pump air into them.  Gradually, the pillows lift your head up, maintaining good cervical posture, they relieve the pressure on your neck muscles and cervical spine.

Our neck traction unit has an ergonomic design that gently lifts your head away from your shoulders, which immediately reduces the pressure between your cervical vertebrae.  This traction unit can be used intermittently or continuously.  In general, intermittent traction can help reduce swelling and inflammation in
the cervical vertebral region.  Continuous traction can help reduce stiffness, muscle tightness. Individuals may also experience a lessening of neck pain and associated cervical radiculopathy (pain and numbness traveling into the shoulder, arm and hand), tension, and stiffness.
