Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cervical traction device used for?
These devices are designed to gently lengthen and stretch the neck to decompress the neck's vertebrae. This temporarily releases disc pressure.
How long should cervical traction be done?
This will depend on a doctor's recommendation and the patient's comfort. Generally session lengths range between five and 30 minutes.
How many times a day should neck traction be done?
Seek a doctor's opinion. This therapy is typically done anywhere between once or twice weekly and several times a day.
How much weight should I use for neck traction?
Ask a doctor's advice. This product's water weight bag can be filled up to 20 pounds. It is best to start at lower weight levels and then increase as necessary for comfort.
