The Neckpro is an over-the-door home unit for cervical traction. It may be used for the relief of neck pain associated with cervical disc herniation, spondylosis, osteoarthritis, cervical radiculopathy, neck strain, pinched nerve in upper spine with associated pain radiating down upper extremities, tension and/or tightness (muscle spasm) in muscles of the upper back, shoulders and neck, fibromyalgia, whiplash, insomnia and tension headaches associated with tension in the aforementioned musculature under the guide of your medical professional.Conventional home overdoor traction systems utilize a bag of water and patient trial and error determining the appropriate amount of traction poundage. Neckpro eliminates this old process by coupling a computer designed precision-made compression spring with a unique ratcheting device that delivers a more precise amount of cervical traction tension. Each click of the ratchet audibly signals an increase in the tension being applied. This not only allows traction to be delivered in a progressive format similar to what they experience in a clinical setting, but the audible click allows the patient to monitor and keep track of the settings that provide a positive outcome. The specially designed head halter is easy to apply and comfortable even under high levels of cervical traction tension.Neckpro Overdoor Cervical Traction System includes Neckpro compression spring & racket assembly, head halter and Adjustable Overdoor bracket Fits doors up to 1 1/2" to 1.75" in thickness.

STRETCHING Don't OVER DO IT! Harder and faster will not get the results you want. The goal is to gain flexibility without causing injury. The correct way to stretch is in small increments. Be sure your leg muscles are warmed up before stretching. If you push yourself too far too fast, you risk serious injury.THE PASSIVE, STATIC STRETCHLie flat on the floor. With one knee bent, lift the other leg and put the stretcher in position. Straighten the leg first and then pull it towards the torso, gently and slowly. When you feen the hamstring tighten, or when you reach your current range of motion, stop and hold this position for 10 to 30 seconds. Switch from one leg to the other 3 to 5 times.THE ISOMETRIC STRETCHThe three basic steps to isometric stretching are: ? actively lengthen the target muscle ? isometrically contract the target muscle ? actively lengthen the target muscle again. A muscle is more relaxed and able to lengthen after a strong isometric contraction. This readiness to lengthen is the result of the inverse stretch reflex. When one muscle contracts, the opposing muscle relaxes because of neurological inhibition, thereby allowing movement to occur around a joint...Read More
