Deluxe Overdoor Traction Set

If you need this kind of therapy for problems in your cervical discs, this is a great, easy-to-use gadget for everyday use in the comfort of your home. I even took it on a trip! Make sure you consult with your physician/ PT/ chiropractor to learn how much counterweight you need, as well as the correct position of your head while using it (following the natural curvature of the cervical spine while it decompresses the discs).

The Overdoor Traction Set was one I used many times after sustaining my second neck injury. This one from an auto accident in 1982 when my car was hit by a driver that ran a red light. I used it on the recommendation of my Chiropractor. You place it over the door as shown after filling the bag with either sand or water (my choice), although you could probably use rice. Just fill it to what you can tolerate, then position yourself as shown. My husband always helped me with mine but you should be able to do it by yourself. The weight of the bag slowly stretches out the space between your vertebrae. While it did indeed bring some relief, it did not help me as much as I had hoped it would. That being said, I have an added problem of a reverse C curve rather than the normal C curve and that, I am sure, made a difference to the relief I experienced.
