Whether or not cervical traction is recommended needs to be determined by the type of cervical spondylosis, e.g., cervical traction is more appropriate for nerve root cervical spondylosis, whereas spinal cord cervical spondylosis is not appropriate for traction. There are different types of cervical spondylosis, and the type of cervical spondylosis needs to be clarified before it can be determined whether cervical traction is recommended. For example, when nerves are compressed in neurogenic cervical spondylosis, most of the time due to narrowing of the foramina of the cervical region, and traction can expand the volume, reduce the pressure, and decrease the pressure on the nerves, and when the nerves are no longer compressed, a series of symptoms will be relieved quickly. There are some types of cervical spondylosis for which traction is not recommended, such as spinal cord cervical spondylosis, for which traction may lead to aggravation of nerve damage and paralysis and other neurological symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that patients consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the type of cervical spondylosis, so that the doctor can consider whether or not to perform traction, as well as decide on the weight of traction, the duration of traction, and the angle of traction, and adjust the treatment plan according to the patient’s response.
