Neck pain due to a herniated disc in your neck, bulging disc in your neck or even cervical degeneration can be excruciating. Just simply performing your activities of daily living can become a chore. Besides the neck stiffness, you may also have pain with numbness and tingling into your arms, hands or fingers, loss of neck range of motion, and muscle weakness. To determine what is going on in your cervical neck spine, your Doctor will probably refer you out for an MRI. Next, your Doctor is probably going to recommend non invasive treatment options to begin with. These may include: neck exercises, using hot or cold therapy, using a cervical support neck pillow or even doing a neck traction protocol at home. Doing neck traction in addition to other therapies can be very beneficial for pain reduction and increase function in the cervical spine.
Once you have been examined, had a cervical x-ray or MRI, your Doctor may suggest cervical neck traction as a treatment option. This is a excellent, simple treatment that you can do at home. There are many chiropractors and physical therapists that also do neck traction in their offices.
*** Note neck traction should not be used in cases of cervical instability, joint fractures, acute injury, traumatic injury, anything that could worse with movement ( always consult your Doctor to make sure you are a candidate for neck traction before starting treatment)
