Buy Traction Device recommended by Dr. Sirota

Cervical spine traction a.k.a. Cervical spine decompression:

So you were told to get a neck traction device? Good idea.

Cervical traction is great for reducing muscle spasms; cervical spine disc injury both bulge and herniations alike, and headaches from sub-occipital pain and spasm... In english, traction to your neck literally lifts, pulls, and reduces pressure on your vertebrae and discs. Traction should be light and long, as opposed to heavy and short timed. The best effects from traction occur when the traction is done over say 20 minutes at a moderate pull, rather than say 10 minutes at very heavy pulling force. Forces should not exceed 20lbs. without your doctors approval and guidance. We sell traction units for the home on our site:
