Cervical Traction Treatment for Neck Pain

Treat Your Neck Pain With Cervical Traction

It has been reported that 45 percent of workers in the United States experience some sort of neck pain. It is safe to say that this is an injury that can potentially affect everyone’s life in some shape or form. Whether it is you experiencing the pain or a family member, you need treatment options. The best doctors to help you treat neck pain are at Chicago Chiropractic & Sports Injury Centers. With four locations, we are capable of treating neck pain in Chicago residents. Our four locations include Lincoln Park, The Loop, Skokie, and West Loop.

At Chicago Chiropractic & Sports Injury Centers, our chiropractors have the knowledge and experience to treat all types of neck pain in Chicago. We will give each client a comprehensive exam and take a complete and thorough look at your history in order to develop the perfect treatment plan. We focus on the injury and helping you obtain pain relief; oftentimes, for neck pain, our treatment recommendation includes cervical traction. This treatment ultimately provides pain relief through a reduction in pressure. The traction adds height to discs that are packed together within the neck. This will help promote the natural curvature of your cervical spine and eventually relieve pressure off the cervical discs and nerves. If you are in need of a chiropractor for neck pain in Chicago, our professional staff can offer you the premier treatment.

Benefits of Cervical Traction

Traction therapy for back and neck pain can offer many benefits. During traction, your neck is pulled by a machine to stretch the area. Generally, each treatment lasts between 10 and 15 minutes.

Traction can be used for treating pinched nerves, headaches, and back or neck pain and tightness. While you are in traction, the pull from our machine will alleviate the pain you are experiencing. Pinched nerves in the neck can result in pain in the legs and arms, which may also be relieved during this treatment.

Allowing us to provide cervical traction may also help for treating bulging discs in the spine and headaches.

When Should You Avoid Cervical Traction?

While traction therapy can be beneficial in cases of back or neck pain, there are some conditions when it could do more harm than good. For example, this is not a treatment we would offer to anyone in Chicago who has undergone spinal fusion surgery, suffers from osteoporosis or has spinal issues where the bones of the spine have begun slipping out of their proper places.

Are There Any Side Effects Caused by Cervical Traction?

While we are trained and knowledgeable in how to provide cervical traction for our patients, there are some side effects that could occur. Since we are trained professionals, the rate of complications is extremely low. This procedure is one that should never be done at home since serious issues may arise if it is not done properly.

If you are suffering from neck pain, back pain, or headaches, contact us today to set up an appointment. We can provide treatment to help you find relief.
