Traction therapy is mainly applied to neurogenic cervical spondylosis. Patients with this type of cervical spondylosis often have nerve root irritation caused by intervertebral foraminal stenosis, resulting in symptoms such as pain and numbness in the limbs, and it is only by doing traction that such patients can improve these symptoms. What is the use of traction therapy? In clinical practice, traction therapy is often performed on patients with cervical spondylosis of the neurogenic type. First, improve the curvature of the cervical spine, the process of traction is also to make the cervical spine as far as possible over-extension (simply put, backward) process, to restore the physiological protrusion of the cervical spine is good; Second, traction can increase the intervertebral foramen, most of the cervical spondylosis of the neurogenic type is due to cervical disc degeneration, joint hyperplasia caused by the narrowing of the intervertebral foramen, nerve compression, traction to make the narrowed intervertebral foramen become “spacious”. Traction makes the narrow intervertebral foramen “spacious”, and the nerve roots will no longer be compressed when passing through the foramen. Third, traction will also improve muscle fatigue and soreness in the neck, but these effects are relatively weak. Can traction therapy be done at home? First of all, it should be clear whether the patient’s cervical spondylosis is suitable for traction, some serious spinal cord cervical spondylosis is not suitable for traction, blind traction but will aggravate the disease. Secondly, the strength of traction and how long traction should be done, these are the specific plans that orthopedic or rehabilitation doctors should help patients to formulate. Patients can do it at home only if they have a more scientific plan and can tolerate traction, but early on they must be examined and diagnosed in a regular hospital, and the doctor will make a treatment plan.
