Cervical traction provides positive patient responses and can relieve the pain associated with certain neck disorders. Neck disorders can be caused by a variety of problems such as muscle spasm, nerve root compression, degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, cervical spondylosis, myofascial syndrome (pain from postural change) or facet joint dysfunction. Traditional methods of treating the pain associated with neck disorders (pain relieving medications, muscle relaxing medications, and over-the-door traction systems) have mixed results and could cause additional side effects.

A PAIN IN THE NECK 

Having a pinched nerve in your neck (a cervical radiculopathy) is a pretty common condition. It’s often painful, and sometimes disabling. Though some cases of pinched nerves may eventually need surgery, the vast majority don’t. Pain in the shoulder or arm that can be caused by tilting or turning the head in a particular way is likely due to a pinched nerve in the neck. Just as you can feel pain down your arm by hitting the funny bone (ulnar nerve) in your elbow, shoulder and/or arm pain is often caused by neck problems.

Pain is an early symptom of nerve pressure. Sometimes pain is constant: at other times it comes after work or after standing, sitting, or walking all day. Numbness or tingling is also common with a pinched nerve, and may be more serious than pain, though not as uncomfortable. If your arm is numb: that is, if you can pinch it or stick it with something sharp and not feel it, you need to seek care promptly. Nerve pressure that continues can permanently damage the nerve. Weakness is another symptom that can be caused by nerve pressure. Occasionally, an arm can be completely numb and paralyzed. Needless to say, this requires treatment without delay.

It helps to understand the anatomy of the neck. Your neck’s composed of seven bones (called vertebrae) in a row. Between each one is a soft disc. The discs have a tough covering with a softer inside: think of a waterbed full of Jell-O. Your spinal cord is inside the vertebra, right behind the solid part, in the spinal canal. There are openings on each side where the nerves to your neck, shoulders, and part of your arms come out. If a nerve is getting pushed on, you may have pain, numbness, and/or weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm, or hand. Varying amounts of pressure cause varying symptoms.

In some cases, the inside part of a disc will push through the covering: this is a ruptured disc (or herniated disc). Problems occur when the disc pushes on a nerve or the spinal cord. Another common cause of pinched nerves is an opening out of the spinal canal (the foramen) which is too small. This can be caused by bone spurs or by arthritis.

It’s usually possible to start treatment of cervical radiculopathy at home. Commonly used anti-inflammatory / pain medicines, like Advil, Nuprin, and Motrin (ibuprofen) or Aleve (naproxen) are helpful. Also helpful is avoiding things that compress the spine, like bouncing up and down driving on a dirt road, or jumping down from a height (even as little as a foot or two).

One of the most helpful treatments in my experience is home traction. Seven minutes on the first day you do this. It might feel good right away, or you might not feel any difference. But if you do it for too long it may stretch your neck muscles and make them cramp, causing you to feel worse. You can do it twice the first day if you like, but at least eight hours apart. Then add a minute a day until you get to fifteen minutes twice daily. Continue at fifteen minutes twice a day for as long as you need to, depending on symptoms.

Doing this often relieves the pressure on the nerve, which can reduce pain / numbness / weakness. And relieving the pressure often allows a swollen, irritated nerve to recover, becoming small enough that it’s not pinched anymore.

A couple of pointers: make sure you have a loud timer with you, so you don’t fall asleep. If you do, you may overstretch your neck muscles.

Now, you can do the home traction in a very easy way by using the AIR NECK II TRACTION.

Neck Traction ends the "circle of pain" by mechanically stretching the muscles of the neck, increasing the distance between vertebral bodies of the spine, and giving more space for the nerve roots. Neck pain is reduced with prolonged, intermittent passive stretching of muscles. It yields a measurably increased range of motion, which relieves pain and, perhaps more importantly it, provides a sense of control over the pain and condition.

Does the Neck Therapy put pressure on my jaw?

As the instructions indicate, you should let your head rest back on the product as you inflate it. This puts the stretch on the back of your head and off the jaw. Anyone with jaw/ T.M.J., or dental problems needs to contact their health care professional first, before trying the our Neck Therapy.

Can this product help improve the “straightening of my neck?

Unnatural straightening of the neck is maintained by muscle tightness and fixations of the joints in the neck. Traction helps loosen these tight joints and muscles. You should also be seeing a health care professional.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR RECENT SPRAIN / STRAIN INJURIES, OR ACUTE CONDITIONS.
