Use Air Neck Traction at home, work or travel to relieve neck pain anytime!

Air Neck Traction is a manual traction device which is patient controlled via a hand operated pump bulb similar to a sphygmomanometer. It allows variability of placement of the patient in sitting, supine and ambulatory positions without tying the patient to hardware and potentialy hazardous situations.

Neck traction, in one form or another, is a major component of conservative management for patients exhibiting soft tissue disorders related to cervical dysfunction, both degenerative and trauma induced.

The major goals of neck traction include: Relief of pain, decreased pressure on cervical nerve roots, improved soft tissue extensibility as indicated in pain free range of motion, and reduction in painful, protective muscle activity.

Neck traction may be helpful for capsulitis, cervical facet joint syndrome, and in helping to relax muscular spasms. Traction may also benefit patients with osteoarthritis by promoting increased movement of the cervical spine and decreased pressure on the facet joints. Cervical traction increases joint mobility of the cervical spine for patients with hypomobility. Degenerative disc disease often leads to radiculopathy and cervical pain. Air Neck Traction alleviates pressure on the diseased discs to promote decreased pressure on peripheral nerve roots and enhance nutrient delivery to the disc.
