Cervical traction is a common and effective treatment for cervical spondylosis. Cervical traction helps to release muscle spasm in the neck, relax the muscles and relieve pain; release soft tissue adhesions and stretch contracted joint capsules and ligaments; improve or restore the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine; enlarge the intervertebral foramen and relieve the stimulation and compression of nerve roots; enlarge the vertebral space and reduce the pressure in the intervertebral disc. Adjust the microscopic abnormal changes of the small joints, so that the synovial membrane of the joint embedment or the misalignment of the synovial joint can be reset; cervical spine traction treatment must master the direction (angle) of traction force, weight and traction time, in order to obtain the best therapeutic effect of traction. 1, traction mode: commonly used occipito-maxillary band traction method, usually using sitting traction, but the condition is heavy or can not sit traction horizontal traction. Continuous traction, intermittent traction or a combination of both can be used. 2, traction angle: generally according to the lesion site, such as lesions mainly in the upper cervical segment, traction angle should be 0-10 °, such as lesions mainly in the lower cervical segment (neck 5-7), traction angle should be slightly forward, can be between 15-30 °, while pay attention to the combination of patient comfort to adjust the angle. 3, traction weight: the weight of intermittent traction can be determined by 10%-20% of their own body weight, continuous traction should be appropriately reduced. Generally the initial weight is light, such as 6kg to start, and gradually increase later. 4, traction time: traction time to continuous traction 20 minutes, intermittent traction is 20-30 minutes is appropriate, once a day, 10-15 days for a course of treatment. 5, precautions: should take full account of individual differences, the elderly and frail should be traction weight lighter, traction time is shorter, young and strong can hold heavier and longer; traction process should pay attention to observe and ask the patient’s reaction, such as discomfort or symptoms aggravated should immediately stop traction, find the cause and adjust, change the treatment plan. 6, traction contraindications: traction after there is obvious discomfort or symptoms aggravated, after adjusting the traction parameters still no improvement; spinal cord pressure is obvious, segmental instability is serious; aging vertebral joint degeneration is serious, spinal canal is obviously narrow, ligament and joint capsule calcification ossification is serious.
