How to use the cervical traction belt

Nowadays, society is developing faster and faster, and people's ability to make products is getting stronger and stronger. Many products nowadays are relatively complex and no longer too simple to understand. Unlike some products, which can be used at a glance and do not require instructions at all. Nowadays, many products require careful usage, such as the cervical traction belt. The cervical traction belt is also a modern product. I believe that everyone does not know much about the cervical traction belt. Here I will introduce how to use the cervical traction belt.

Cervical traction is the main means of relieving symptoms in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. Because effective traction can relieve compression on nerves, blood vessels, and spinal cord, and quickly relieve symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Specifically, cervical traction is mainly used to relieve neck muscle spasms, relieve pain symptoms, enlarge the intervertebral space and intervertebral foramen, facilitate the repositioning of the protruding nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus tissue, relieve and relieve nerve root compression and irritation, promote the absorption of nerve root edema, relieve compression on the vertebral artery, promote blood circulation, facilitate the disappearance of local congestion, swelling and hyperplasia, loosen adhesions of the joint capsule, improve and restore the uncovertebral joint, adjust small joint dislocations and vertebral slippage, adjust and restore the damaged internal and external balance of the cervical spine, and restore the normal function of the cervical spine.

The traction weight can start from 3 to 4 kilograms. The traction weight can be appropriately increased and the traction time can be extended depending on the patient's age, physical strength, development of the neck muscles, and the patient's response to traction therapy. The weight of the cervical traction device can be adjusted according to actual needs. Treatment course: Light weight traction is 7 days as a course of treatment. Rest for 1-2 days between two courses of treatment. While carrying out traction therapy, other treatments may also be combined, provided that no harm is done to the body.

The method of cervical traction generally uses a cervical pillow and traction belt for cervical traction.

Posture: The body position can be sitting or lying. For convenience, it is better to take a stable sitting position, so that the neck tilts forward about 10°-30° from the longitudinal axis of the trunk to avoid hyperextension. Ask the patient to fully relax the neck, shoulders and entire body muscles. The traction posture should make the patient feel comfortable, and if there is any discomfort, it should be adjusted as appropriate. For patients with vertebral artery type, the forward tilt angle should be smaller, and patients with spinal cord type cervical spondylosis should adopt a nearly vertical posture and avoid forward flexion traction.

Cervical traction is very particular, and the method of using the cervical traction belt requires everyone to pay attention. There are many things to pay attention to in cervical traction. In addition to paying attention to the weight and time during traction, there is also the sitting posture. I believe that being familiar with how to use the cervical traction belt will be of greater help to everyone. I hope everyone can learn more about this aspect.
