Cervical Traction Kits
Cervical Traction Kit: An Overview
Cervical traction is a procedure used for treating neck pain. It involves lightly pulling your head to create space between the bones in your neck. It is also sometimes known as spinal traction.
The procedure can be done by your healthcare provider or yourself using our home cervical traction kit. It gives additional space between the vertebrae in your neck to reduce pressure and tension. It is highly effective in relieving symptoms like pain from various conditions and issues. Moreover, it treats issues with nerves and muscles around your spine.

A home traction kit provides several benefits:
- It treats different types and causes of neck pain, tightness, and tension.
- It relaxes the muscles, which ultimately leads to lower neck pain and increased flexibility.
- It also treats and flattens bulging or herniated discs.

How Cervical Traction Works?
A cervical traction is performed in three different types:
Manual Cervical Traction
In this method, your therapist uses their hands to gently pull your head and neck away from your body. They hold your head and neck for 10 seconds and then release them gently. It can be done several times at different angles. This traction is usually performed to diagnose your neck condition, gently stretch muscles or neck, and relieve pain.
Mechanical Cervical Traction
In this cervical traction, a harness is attached to your head when you are lying down. This harness is then attached to a machine, which uses traction to stretch your head and neck away from your body.
Over-the-Door Cervical Traction
It involves a home traction kit for neck. Here, a harness or cushioned sling is strapped to your head and neck. You, then, have to attach the harness to a rope and pulley system over a door. Sometimes, your doctor may prescribe you to add weight to the treatment. So, you can attach a weight at the end of the rope or manually pull the rope to stretch the neck.
