Traction is not recommended for cervical spinal stenosis. Cervical spinal stenosis can be caused by congenital developmental or secondary factors, such as disc herniation, ligament hypertrophy, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. The nerves and spinal cord in the spinal canal can be compressed by spinal stenosis, resulting in neurologic symptoms. Compression of the cervical cord may result in numbness and weakness of the extremities, and even urinary and bowel dysfunction. If traction therapy is performed, then the compressed spinal cord may also be subjected to traction, which can lead to spinal cord injury, and in severe cases, may cause paralysis and other serious conditions. If the patient has mild symptoms, oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as acetaminophen and diclofenac sodium may be an option to relieve the pain and inflammatory response, and in severe cases, surgery may have to be considered. Patients who develop cervical spinal stenosis should actively cooperate with their doctors and take standardized treatment under the doctor’s guidance. Do not self-treat to avoid worsening symptoms and irreversible damage.
