Neck Traction with Ratchet Tight Technology by Theratrac Glide - Cervical Traction - Stretch and Relieve Pain, Cervicalgia, Degeneration of disc, Spondylosis and Spine Alignment

I have cervical disc herniation. So using this machine definitely helps alleviate the pain in my neck. I used to have one that had a pump which I kinda liked better than the dial on this one. Because when it released it released slowly. This one releases fast, so if there is an improvement suggestion, I would say the air pump is better, but I still love this one

Just got it and used it twice now. Love it. Relieves the pain a lot in my neck.

It works. Well made. Easy to operate. Overpriced. About double to what it should be.

You probably do not. I certainly can't handle it. Unlike other models that use an air pump of some sort this one uses a mechanical ratchet. The knob to turn it is hard to crank and once in place and you release it, it does so with a big jolt that exacerbated (made worse) the neck pain. If a zero rating could be given, it would get that. I'm also surprised that it wasn't damaged in transit. The unit was in a plastic bag layed in the bottom of the box with some packing paper on top.

Traction control is very hard to turn, beyond my ability toturn

The apparatus works great. I wish it would pull further up. My lower neck and upper back feel much better. The quality is good.

The sub $100 ones are not good if you have truly cervical disc/radicular issues. The one recommended by physical therapists can go $350-$600, so this is definitely a good deal. I also think this is an advantage with the dial for adjusting tension. I highly recommend.

This product seems very sturdy. The challenge for me is that I’ve been receiving physical therapy treatments and they always end with a similar device but theirs has a much larger incline so I feel like I get a different traction with that one. This one seems to slide a lot so you have to find a rubberized surface to put it on, but then also it’s done with a tension spring and the tension spring doesn’t seem very strong so it will only click up a few times before the weight of your head causes the spring not to give additional traction. It is certainly better than nothing, but I don’t feel like it is the best given I’ve used a similar one that costs three times this much and is more effective. But at this cost, I will keep trying to make it work!
