Saunders Cervical Traction
Ever felt like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? For many people, that feeling starts in their neck. At SwaHealth, we’re happy to offer a solution that’s heads and shoulders above the rest: Saunders Cervical Traction.
What is Saunders Cervical Traction?
Saunders Cervical Traction is a special way to gently stretch the neck. It uses a comfy device that fits around your head and neck. This device applies a soft pulling force to create space between the bones in your neck. It’s like giving your neck a mini-vacation from gravity!
How Does It Work?
When you come for Saunders Cervical Traction at SwaHealth, here’s what happens:
You’ll lie down on a special bed or sit on a chair.
Your therapist fits the traction device around your head and neck.
The device slowly applies a force to your neck.
Most people find it very relaxing!
