What Happens in a Cervical Traction Process?

In a cervical traction process, the objective is to provide the opportunity for your pinched nerves and neck muscles to be released. Basically, tension is placed on the head to pull it up and away from the neck, stretching the ligaments and muscles around the vertebrae of the spine as well as increasing the space between the spinal column.

Benefits of Cervical Traction

It is also a great way to help pinched nerves and disc problems, stiff neck muscles, headaches, irritated joints, in the restoration of the cervical curve and stress reduction. These health care products are designed to provide an adjustable, gentle, and comfortable therapy as per the preferences of the patient.

Relief Of Pain With Neck Traction

 

The Cervical Traction procedure helps in reducing pain, ease muscle spasms and decrease pressure on nerves. The neck traction devices can help in increasing circulation of blood to the structures of the cervical spine, which helps in oxygenating ligaments, tendons, nerves and muscles, and this can relief constricting blood vessels and nerves, as well as decrease tension and pressure.

Increase in muscle tension is basically related to the constriction of nerves and blood vessels, which lead to a release in inflammatory chemicals which further create pain, tension and irritation.

When the pressure is relieved, this may help in easing painful degenerative conditions and herniated discs. The modern cervical traction devices are portable as well as lightweight and you can easily use them at home.

Cervical Traction Aids in Restoring The Proper Cervical Curve

It is essential to restore the proper curve to alleviate neck pain. The loss of the regular neck curve leaves you more susceptible to pain. This condition is usually promoted by poor posture of the neck. The loss of the cervical curve can lead to disc degeneration, thus restoration of neck curve helps in the prevention of deterioration and degeneration of neck curve.
