Cervical traction equipment applies a controlled pull to the neck through a halter, head unit or seated device. This collection brings together clinical traction units used in physical therapy clinics and home devices designed for personal use.
Products come from Mettler Electronics, Chattanooga and Posture Pump. Use of traction should follow the guidance of a licensed clinician.
Why Dedicated Cervical Traction Equipment Matters
- Repeatable setup: A dedicated unit lets a clinician set and repeat the same parameters each session.
- Positioning: Positioning blocks help hold the patient in the intended position.
- Home options: Home devices let a patient follow a program between clinic visits when a clinician directs it.
