    Cervical traction therapy is wonderful for those suffering with discomfort or pain in the neck. From severe conditions like degenerative discs or short term injuries like a sprain. Even if you just have a stiff neck from sitting and working at a computer all day, this therapy can do wonders.

    Healthcare professionals like physical therapists or chiropractors can work with you with these therapies. You can even get an at-home cervical traction device for extra convenience and to get in more therapy sessions.

    Let’s dive into the science behind these helpful devices!

    Examining How a Cervical Traction Device Works

    Anyone who suffers from neck pain or discomfort knows how difficult day-to-day activities can be. Driving can be dangerous or impossible, and watching a movie at home can sometimes be too much to bear. There are things you can do to get some relief and start feeling better.

    Adding cervical therapy into your regular routine can reduce and sometimes eliminate the neck issues you’ve been dealing with. These therapy sessions will include the use of a cervical traction device to help tenderly decompress the neck area. This gentle pull therapy has been found helpful for even extreme conditions like degenerative disc disease.

    So, how does cervical traction work, and how can it help?

    1) Cervical Traction Therapy Uses Tension And Stretching Mechanical Equipment

    Cervical traction devices are fascinating pieces of mechanical equipment. The “pull force’ is often created with the use of pulleys, weights, air pressure, and even the weight of the body itself. The device will have some sort of harness to attach to the head to provide the tension.

    2) Traction Devices Use A Gentle Sliding Force For Cervical Decompression

    A cervical traction device will use very gentle tension to start to pull the discs of the neck apart. This tolerable and mild decompression allows you to stay comfortable and relaxed. The easy glide action will pull on the neck, adding space between the vertebrae.

    3) Cervical Traction Therapy And Devices Can Help A Lot Of Neck Conditions

    People suffering from major conditions like herniated and degenerative discs or osteoarthritis tend to find relief when they add cervical traction therapy into their weekly routine. Therapy sessions just three times a week have the potential of even helping those suffering from cervical foraminal stenosis or radiculopathy.

    Just have a stiff neck? Minor neck issues normally cease to exist after a few solid weeks of traction therapy. Slight sprains and strains find instant relief from tightness when using a cervical traction device.

    Cervical Traction Therapy is a Game Changer for Neck Relief

    From computer desk dwellers to those enduring severe conditions like herniated discs, therapy using a cervical traction device can be life-changing. The gentle stretch these devices give your neck will decompress your discs and give you some relief. Consider adding an at-home traction device to your neck therapy to increase the number of your therapy sessions and the ease of access at which you can do your sessions.
