What is Cervical Traction?
It’s a fancy medical word for a simple method- the practice of pulling your head away from the neck gently, all to primarily relieve neck pain. But how does this simple movement reduce pain? Muscles and ligaments around the spinal cord in the neck can become tight due to various reasons- long-term stress, injury, bad posture habits, etc. After the method-induced stretching, these muscles and ligaments begin to relax, the intervertebral space expands, which increases blood circulation, and lastly, increased blood flow relieves pressure. When the pressure is released, the pain goes away.
Who can use this neck-specific device?
Anyone with spinal alignment and spinal mobility problems, along with pain and stiffness, can reap the benefits of the device. Many experience neck problems due to their daily life stress and activities, for example, office workers, students, athletes, laborers, bodyworkers, etc. This device is ideal for such a population. It can also help patients suffering from bulging discs, cervical spondylosis, spasms, and sprains. If you want to relieve yourself from your neck ache, go buy a neck hammock original.
Note: if you have cervical injuries, neck tumors, or Rheumatoid arthritis, you should not use the traction.
What makes a neck hammock different from other tractions?
In earlier days, people could only reap the benefits of traction therapy at a physical therapist’s session. But these visits consume time (which no one can afford to do nowadays), very inconvenient, and comes with bulging costs. Today, over-the-door tractions are quite known and popular. Anyone can use them at home smoothly, quickly, and efficiently. This neck-specific traction is one such traction, and it doesn’t specifically need a doctor to administer it! Unlike most of the at-home traction devices, these neck-specific ones are not bulky or highly expensive. The person has to lie on the floor on his/her back, put their head on the sling which is attached to a door, and that’s it!
Which symptoms does the device provide relief to?
A neck hammock is a non-surgical non-meditational treatment mode that helps in relieving neck pain and fast recovery from cervical injuries. Some of the symptoms that it tackles include neck pain, shoulder ache, poor posture, Dowager’s Hump, bulged discs, pinched nerves, muscle spasms, Osteoarthritis, various kinds of stress, muscle stiffness, and sleeping problems to say the least. Also, as stated earlier, a neck hammock original helps in alleviating symptoms of various disorders including cervical spondylosis (example dehydrated discs and stiff ligaments) and herniated discs.
