"I Don't Have A Neck Traction Device Yet, What Can I Do In The Meantime?"

To start, you can lay on your Traction Pillow anytime. Next, you can lay with your your head hanging off the bed. I usually spin around so my head hangs off where my feet usually are. Last, when I'm sitting in a chair with a high enough back, I let my head fall back in extension. I like it when the back of the chair is at the spot where I want the most traction.

Of note, is watch the amount you do, you can be sore if you do too much. Also, make sure the spot that hits your neck isn't too hard.

The Difference Between Soreness and Pain

What is the difference between being sore and being in pain? Soreness is often a good thing; you are building muscle or stretching out ligaments, etc...

Those are two perfect examples actually. Let's say I do neck traction for too long or too many pounds; I will be sore. The body just isn't used to it and ligaments and/or tendons are being stretched. It'll feel like an ache.

Just like when you go work out or maybe lift weights for the first time in awhile, you may be sore.

That's or main tell-tale sign - what were you doing that precipitated this painlike sensation. If you over-did a workout, or did it for the first time, you are using new muscle groups or at least using one that haven't been worked like that in a while - that's soreness, and is normal. Now if this persists for days and started following a awkward movement it can be pain. 

My suggestion is to take a break or take it easy on that body part for the next week or until it feels better.

Here's a great neck exercise that a doctor shows us how to do. It will help to strengthen neck muscles and mobilize the neck. Do neck exercises, combined with using the pillow, combined also with neck traction, is the fastest way to make changes in the neck.

How To Easily Use The Trac-Collar

An Effective Way to Stretch the Cervical Spine

As you'll see in the video below, the Neck TractionCollar very easy to use.  What you can't easily see is the comfort of this unit as well.  The Trac-Collar is very comfortable and soft, it's easy to put on, you can use it while sitting upright, and... it doesn't put any unwanted pressure on the jaw or head.

Stretching the neck with this method allows disc spaces to open, as well as neural foramen.  This relieves nerve pressure and allows inflammation to dissipate.
