Finding Cervical Traction Devices that Best Suits Your Preference and Budget
|
There are many cervical traction devices you can find on the Internet. Some cost as low as $60, while others can have world class (aka expensive) prices. Most traction devices today are portable. Manufacturers are creating these products to complement mobile and busy lifestyles. Portability means you can bring your traction device wherever you go, and you can always keep it under the bed after your traction session.
The following products are good cervical traction devices that can help alleviate your neck and back pains.
NeckPro Over-Door Traction Device
One of the least expensive in the market at $64.99 with free shipping, NeckPro Over-Door Traction Device offers an easy to use and traditional gadget for neck traction. It follows the old models of over-door cervical traction devices but of course with a few twists.
NeckPro uses a special head halter to support and protect your head while in therapy. The halter is attached to a set cord that can be pulled through a pulley system. The revolutionary technology of NeckPro is its use of a compression spring and ratcheeting device. These eliminate the need for weights, and the patient can simply pull the cord and achieve up to 20 pounds of pressure. A single click of the ratcheeting device equals one pound of pressure. Thus, monitoring of traction strength has been made easy.
NeckPro is manufactured by CheapRelief.Com, Inc.
Saunders Cervical Hometrac Deluxe
The Saunders Cervical Hometrac Deluxe (model 7045) is not the most expensive, but it is not cheap either. It costs $395 per set plus the cost of shipping and delivery. It is a prescription required device, so you will need a prescription from your doctor before you can buy it online.
The Saunders Model 7045 uses a patented rotating wedge for the neck, which can be adjusted to match the dimensions of your head and neck. This allows for superior comfort and flexibility.
The unit can deliver a maximum of 50 pounds of traction strength. The application of pressure can be controlled by the user. The Saunders Model directs the force of traction toward the base of the head, which effectively disallows TMJ compression through the chin. It comes with a chic black carrying bag, which means you can bring it anywhere you go.
It can be purchased online through ProMed Products’ website.
Pronex Cervical Traction Neck Unit
This is a neck stretcher which you can buy online for $500 - $520. Pronex is a simple device. It is durable and compact, so you can put it in your backpack. It provides anatomically correct traction and can evenly distribute force along the neck and upper back area.
The patient controls the delivery of force through a hand pump; thus, it ensures gentle application of pressure for an even distraction in the posterior and anterior disc of the spine. It is ergonomically designed to support the natural curvature of the neck area. The soft foam structure, which is coated with polyurethane, provides comfort while in use.
Pronex Cervical Traction Neck Unit is available at Arc 4 Life website.
