Cervical traction requires attention to three major elements: the direction of traction force (angle), weight and traction time. The occipito-mandibular band traction method is commonly used, usually in the sitting position, but supine traction can be used when the condition is more serious or cannot be traction in the sitting position. Supine traction is divided into continuous traction and intermittent traction. In addition: individual differences should be fully considered, the old and weak should reduce the traction weight and shorten the traction time, the young and strong can increase the traction time and weight appropriately; traction process should pay attention to observe and ask the patient’s reaction, if there is discomfort or symptoms aggravated should immediately stop traction, find the cause and adjust the treatment plan. Traction is contraindicated: those who have obvious discomfort or aggravation of symptoms after traction and still have no improvement after adjusting traction parameters; or those who have aggravation of symptoms and still have no improvement after adjusting traction parameters; those who have obvious spinal cord compression and serious segmental instability; those who have serious degeneration of bone and joint in old age, obvious narrowing of spinal canal, serious calcification and ossification of ligament and joint capsule.
