Saunders Cervical Traction Device: Professional Home Neck Relief
/
Saunders Cervical Traction Device - Clinical Home Decompression
The Saunders Cervical Traction Device is a professional-grade solution for patients requiring spinal decompression without the discomfort of traditional over-door units. It solves the common issue of jaw pain (TMJ) by directing all traction forces to the back of the head (occiput) rather than the chin. This "Zero-Friction" pneumatic system allows for smooth, incremental stretches that create space between vertebrae, alleviating pressure on compressed nerves and discs to restore mobility and comfort.

Features & Benefits
- Precision Pneumatic Pump: A high-quality hand pump with an easy-to-read gauge allows you to control traction in 1 lb. increments, up to 50 lbs., for a consistent and safe treatment experience.
- Three-Angle Adjustability: The built-in angle adjuster allows you to set the device at 15, 20, or 25 degrees, ensuring the traction is targeted perfectly to your specific cervical alignment.
- Patented Self-Adjusting Neck Wedges: These wedges automatically pivot to provide a "Zero-Friction" custom fit for any neck width, ensuring maximum stability without manual tweaking.
- TMJ-Safe Design: Because the device cradles the base of the skull, there is zero pressure applied to the jaw or chin, making it ideal for patients with dental or jaw sensitivities.
- Blow-Off Safety Valve: An integrated safety mechanism limits the maximum force applied, protecting the user from over-stretching.
- Portable & Ready to Use: Arrives fully assembled in a heavy-duty carrying case, allowing for clinical-level therapy at home or while traveling.
Clinical Authority Section
Rehabilitation specialists, including Physical Therapists and Physiatrists, often prescribe the Saunders Cervical Home Traction Unit as a cost-effective alternative to surgery or long-term clinical visits. It is specifically indicated for managing cervical radiculopathy, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and tension headaches. By replicating the specific mechanical pull of clinical traction tables, this device ensures treatment consistency, which is vital for the long-term remodeling of spinal tissues and decompression of the neural foramen.
