It provides stability and therapeutic traction to help with neck pain, muscle spasm and pinched nerves.  It is a popular air neck traction device made of lightweight pliable rubber with soft cloth contact areas at the top and bottom support areas. The Neck Traction Collar features safe, anatomically correct traction and gives the head and neck needed support, in full comfort as the pressure is distributed evenly and gently with a gradual release of traction pressure at the end of treatment. Simple to put on and convenient for older people as well as portable, lightweight and easy to travel with. The Neck Traction Collar is great for people that spend long hours doing paperwork, working at a computer, watching TV or any activity where the focus of your head and neck is bent forward for long periods of time. The collar can be used with the notch in front for powerful, yet gentle levels of traction or the collar turned with the flat side in front for support.  An easy to use hand held bulb inflates the device with air as the traction provides a gentle stretch to the neck which is controlled to your level of comfort, pain relief and support.

The neck traction collar will provide stretch to the neck, but does not constrict or put pressure into the neck. If properly used, you should not feel soreness following use, however, as with any stretching routine, you should start easy and increase gradually. If soreness occurs, you need to reduce the time and intensity of use. If pain increases or for pre-existing conditions, consult your doctor The pressure release valve located on the inflation bulb allows the air to deflate with a simple push of a button. You should let your head rest back on the neck support traction as you inflate it which puts the stretch on the back of your head and off the jaw. Anyone with jaw, T.M.J., or dental problems needs to contact their health care professional prior to using.
The Neck Traction Collar is the ideal solution for individuals with neck problems to use at home or work.
Directions: 1. Place the Neck Traction Collar gently around your neck, and attach the velcro closures on the top and bottom. You should feel no discomfort of any type. Check to make sure there is no squeezing sensation in your neck. 2. Sit up straight, and rest your back in the chair. Keep your head pointed straight ahead looking out at eye-level. Pump the bulb until you feel a light stretch of the neck. Let the back of your head rest comfortably back inside the unit. Relax your muscles. Pump it again in gradual increments, until you feel a pleasant stretch. 3. Now you're ready for the final step. Press the pressure release valve button and slowly release the air pressure a little at a time in short bursts. Traction: You will achieve the best results with regular applications. Begin your program with short traction sessions (3-5 minutes each). After the first week, you can gradually increase the amount of pressure, and length of the traction sessions by a few minutes. Sessions should always be comfortable. If you notice increases soreness and symptoms returning, decrease the length of your session. Take things slowly in the beginning for optimum results. When you are ready to extend stretching sessions to longer periods (10-20 minutes), always use the lowest amount of pressure that still provides an easy stretch. Stronger traction should always be for shorter periods of time (maximum 3-5 minutes), and for individuals who are acclimated to the collar.
Frequency: The maximum length of time for a traction session is 20 minutes. However, you can gradually build up to doing four sessions per day. Note: Only increase the sessions if the traction remains comfortable, and symptoms do not increase.
