This Over-the-Door Cervical Traction Set is an easy-to-use, professional-grade solution designed to stretch the cervical spine, reducing pressure on discs and pinched nerves.

Key Benefits

• Effective Pain Relief: Gently decompresses the neck to alleviate pain from cervical disc herniation, muscle spasms, osteoarthritis, and nerve root compression.
• Physical Therapy at Home: Mimics the traction used in clinical settings, allowing you to manage chronic neck stiffness and “tech neck” on your own schedule.
• Adjustable Tension: Features a heavy-duty water weight bag (typically up to 20 lbs) that allows you to precisely control the amount of traction for a customized, gradual stretch.

Product Features

• Universal Fit: The sturdy metal bracket fits securely over most standard interior doors, transforming any room into a personal recovery space.
• Comfortable Head Halter: Includes a soft, foam-padded chin strap that is fully adjustable to fit most adults, ensuring a secure and irritation-free experience.
• Complete Kit: Comes with everything you need—a heavy-duty door hanger, pulley system, traction rope, spreader bar, head halter, and calibrated water weight bag.
• Tool-Free Assembly: Sets up in seconds without the need for screws or permanent hardware, making it easy to store or travel with.

How to Use Safely

1. Hang the bracket over a sturdy door and ensure it is fully seated.
2. Fill the weight bag with warm water to the level recommended by your doctor.
3. Sit comfortably in a chair facing the door and secure the head halter.
4. Relax as the weight gently pulls, creating space between your vertebrae.

Safety Warning: Always consult with a healthcare professional or physical therapist before starting home traction to ensure it is appropriate for your specific condition.

Medical Conditions Treated

The Over-the-Door Cervical Traction Set is commonly recommended by physical therapists for:

• Cervical Spondylosis: Relief from age-related wear and tear of the spinal discs.
• Herniated or Protruded Disks: Helping to reduce nerve root compression in the neck.
• Pinched Nerves: Alleviating the “pins and needles” or radiating pain in the arms.
• Muscle Spasms: Gently stretching tight muscles in the upper back and neck.
• Osteoarthritis: Increasing the joint space to reduce inflammation and stiffness.
• Tension Headaches: Releasing the pressure at the base of the skull often caused by poor posture.

Safety Precautions

• Consult Your Doctor: Never begin traction without a diagnosis. Specific conditions, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis or spinal instability, can be worsened by traction.
• Start Light: Begin with a low amount of water (weight) and short durations (5–10 minutes). Only increase as directed by your Physical Therapist.
• Secure the Door: Always use a sturdy, solid-core door. Ensure the door is locked or notify others in the house so it isn’t opened while the device is in use.
• Stop if Pain Increases: You should feel a “comfortable stretch.” If you experience dizziness, nausea, or increased sharp pain, stop immediately and contact your healthcare provider.
• Maintain Posture: Ensure your chair is at the correct height so the traction pull is vertical or at the specific angle recommended for your injury.
