How many times a week do you do cervical traction

If the traction of the neck is done in the rehabilitation department, it can be done once a day and 7 times a week. If the cervical spine is tractioned at home with an inflatable, it can be done 1-2 times a day and 10-14 times a week. The main purpose of traction is to relax the neck muscles, stretch the cervical spine, improve the stimulation of the cervical intervertebral discs on the nerve roots through the traction frame or retractor, so as to reduce the soreness and pain in the neck, as well as numbness in the upper limbs and other discomforts. Cervical spine traction in the process of treatment, if the upper limb numbness, pain and weakness, should be stopped in time, and will be reported to the doctor in charge of the report, can not be forced to continue traction, the clinical cervical spine traction, and finally lead to spinal cord injury cases, so must pay attention to. The weight of traction in the rehabilitation department should be about 1/8-1/10 of the body, which can be tolerated by the patient, and the inflatable traction for home use is safer, but the therapeutic effect is relatively poor.
