The Saunders Cervical Traction Device is hospital-grade physical therapy equipment designed to be used in your own home.

The traction system also provides light to moderate vacuum winching over the course of 1 lb. in increments of 0 to 50 lbs.

How does it work?

Cervical traction treatment is used by primary care physicians to treat neck pain due to inflammation, arthritis, pinched nerves, herniated discs, strained muscles, and overall back stiffness. Research shows that applying intermittent cervical traction (ICT) leads to a significant lessening of neck pain.
These are the three styles of cervical traction devices:
2. Mechanical cervical traction - Mechanical cervical traction is also performed by a physical therapist but uses a harness that is connected directly to your head. The harness is then connected to a machine or system of weights that apply the traction effect on your spine.
3. Over the Door cervical traction - The harness is connected to the part of a weighted pulley system that goes over a door; you can do it yourself standing, sitting, or lying down.
The Saunders Cervical Traction Device with Carrying Case is the most recommended ergonomic cervical traction device. The adaptable design features a wedge-shaped pelvic pad that allows the best traction techniques to use while standing or sitting up. The device uses a battery-powered motor for use on the go.
