Cervical Traction for Neck Pain Relief at Arlington Physical Therapy
Cervical traction is a gentle, non-invasive technique that decompresses the joints and discs of the neck by carefully stretching the cervical spine. It is one of the most effective conservative treatments for neck pain caused by disc problems, nerve compression, or joint stiffness.
At Arlington PT, cervical traction is used to relieve pain, reduce nerve pressure, and restore normal neck mobility, often providing relief that other treatments alone cannot achieve.

Understanding the Cervical Traction Process
Cervical traction is applied either manually by your therapist or using a specialized mechanical device. The gentle pulling force creates separation between the cervical vertebrae, relieving pressure on compressed discs and irritated nerves. It also helps relax the surrounding muscles and improve circulation to the area.

What Can Cervical Traction Help With?
What to Expect
Cervical traction sessions are comfortable and typically last 10-20 minutes. Many patients feel immediate relief during or shortly after treatment. Your therapist will adjust the level of traction based on your comfort and response, and will combine it with other treatments such as manual therapy and therapeutic exercise for the best outcomes.
