Cervical Traction Devices

Neck traction devices, also known as cervical traction systems, are designed to gently stretch the cervical spine to help reduce pressure on discs and nerves. They are commonly used for cervical radiculopathy, disc bulges, nerve compression, and chronic neck pain.

Both home-use and clinical traction systems are available depending on the level of support and control required.

How Cervical Traction Works

Cervical traction applies controlled stretching forces to the neck, which may help temporarily reduce compression on spinal discs and nerve roots. This can improve comfort and mobility when used under professional guidance.

Conditions Commonly Treated

Neck traction devices are often used for cervical disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, and certain postural strain conditions.

Home vs. Clinical Traction Systems

Portable over-the-door or pneumatic systems are commonly used at home, while advanced traction devices may be found in clinical settings for more precise force control.
