Stop Neck Pain: Is Cervical Traction the Answer to Your Chronic Headaches?

Written by The Joshua Brown Morris Orthopedic Team

Chronic neck pain often masks itself as persistent headaches, shoulder tension, or even numbness in the arms. If you've been searching for a solution that goes beyond pills and temporary fixes, the DDS MAX Cervical Traction Collar offers a clinical-grade, non-invasive path to relief.

 

The Science: Why Does My Neck Hurt So Much?

 

The neck (cervical spine) supports the full weight and movement of your head. Pain is often caused by nerve root compression—where discs bulge or vertebrae shift, squeezing the nerves that run down your arms and up into your head.

Cervical traction works by gently and gradually stretching the neck, which creates space between the vertebrae. This reduces pressure on the pinched nerves and allows blood and nutrients to flow back to the discs, promoting long-term healing.

 

Why Choose DDS MAX Over Traditional Solutions?

 

Unlike bulky or inconvenient over-the-door traction devices, the DDS MAX is completely mobile and easy to use.
