Cervical Traction: Relief and Recovery for Neck Pain
Cervical traction is a specialized chiropractic treatment designed to relieve pressure on the cervical spine, improve mobility, and reduce pain in the neck and upper back. This therapy is especially effective for patients suffering from herniated discs, nerve compression, muscle spasms, and degeneration of the intervertebral discs.
What is Cervical Traction ?
Cervical traction works by applying a controlled force to gently stretch the spine, separating the vertebrae and creating space between them. This process helps:
✔️ Reduce compression of the intervertebral discs
✔️ Release pressure on the nerves
✔️ Relax tense muscles and improve blood circulation
✔️ Promote natural realignment of the cervical spine
Traction can be performed manually or mechanically, depending on the patient’s condition and treatment needs.
Benefits of Vertical Traction
🔹 Chronic pain relief: Reduces pressure on nerves and relieves symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and pain radiating to the arms.
🔹 Improved mobility and flexibility: By decompressing the spine, neck movements become more fluid and unrestricted.
🔹 Cervical injury recovery: Ideal for patients with whiplash, herniated discs, or cervical spondylosis.
🔹 Reduction in inflammation: By improving blood circulation, the healing process is accelerated and muscle spasms are reduced.
Who Is This Treatment Indicated For?
Cervical traction is an excellent option for people who suffer from:
✔️ Chronic or recurring neck pain
✔️ Herniated or protruding discs
✔️ Nerve compression (cervical radiculopathy)
✔️ Whiplash after a car accident
✔️ Muscle tension and stiffness in the neck and shoulders
However, it is not recommended for patients with vertebral fractures, advanced osteoporosis, or spinal infections.
