Neck traction chairs employ a gentle stretching mechanism that helps decompress the cervical spine. When users sit in the chair, the device gently pulls the head upward while supporting the neck and shoulders. This controlled stretching can help alleviate pressure on the discs between the vertebrae, which may become compressed due to various factors. Regular use of a neck traction chair can lead to significant pain relief for those suffering from conditions like cervical radiculopathy, herniated discs, or muscle tension.
