Cervical Traction

Cervical traction is often used in physical therapy to treat neck pain due to herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve impingement. Symptoms from these conditions often include pain in the neck, along with one or both the shoulder blades, and/or numbness/tingling into one or both upper extremities.
