Comprehensive Overview of Cervical Traction Therapy
Mechanical Traction Devices
Our cervical traction therapy utilizes specialized devices that provide controlled traction forces to your neck, either manually or mechanically. These devices are designed to ensure precise and effective application of traction, tailored to your specific condition.
Segmental Decompression
By applying targeted traction forces to specific segments of your cervical spine, we can alleviate pressure on compressed nerves, discs, and surrounding structures. This segmental decompression is crucial for relieving pain and restoring function.
Reduction of Neck Pain
Cervical traction therapy is highly effective in reducing neck pain caused by various conditions such as cervical disc herniation, cervical radiculopathy, muscle tension, or cervical osteoarthritis. Patients often experience significant relief and improved comfort after treatment.
Improved Disc Hydration
Traction therapy helps improve hydration and nutrition to the cervical discs by creating negative pressure within the disc space. This promotes fluid exchange and disc health, essential for long-term recovery and prevention of future issues.
Reduction of Nerve Compression
Relief from nerve compression symptoms is one of the primary benefits of cervical traction therapy. Patients often find relief from radiating pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms or hands.
Enhanced Cervical Mobility
Our therapy aims to restore normal cervical mobility and flexibility by reducing stiffness, promoting disc health, and facilitating optimal spinal alignment. Enhanced mobility allows patients to move more freely and engage in daily activities with greater ease.
Patient Education
We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. During your sessions, you’ll receive education on proper posture, ergonomic principles, and self-care strategies to support long-term neck health and prevent future issues.

EVERYONE at River Rock is AMAZING!! So Incredibly Compassionate and Caring! I look forward to going to my appointments because of the genuineness of ALL the staff. They truly strive diligently to help you feel better physically and mentally. I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about this facility. 5 stars isn’t enough because they go above and beyond every time!
The short review is a million stars wouldn’t be enough. The longer one would be I walked in basically a babbling sack of flesh, and finished treatment a coherent balanced human being.
