ABSTRACT:
A portable cervical traction device for applying tractive forces to the cervical spine of a patient, having a head support means for the neck and head of the patient, including an occipital pad which has a reversed angled surface which causes increased cervical flexion when the device is in use and while ensuring contact between the back of the head and the occipital pad for comfort. The angle of the tractive force is also adjustable so as to isolate portions of the cervical spine for application of the traction. The invention further allows the patient to vary the tractive force applied through the use of an air cylinder, which is directly affixed to the head support means.
