How to do traction of the cervical spine? What are the ways to do this?

Introduction: Most people will have cervical spine problems because of work, and most people are also very troubled about cervical spine problems, because once the cervical spine problems are serious, they will compress people's nerves and cause pain problems, so that people can not carry out normal life. For the cervical spine, the ** method is mainly used to pull the cervical spine.

Below, let's take you through several methods. <>

1. Introduction to the traction cervical spine.

Presumably everyone knows about cervical spondylosis, but they don't know much about the practice of traction of the cervical spine. Let's answer your doubts one by one. The most advanced method of traction of the cervical spine is mainly by using the gravity of the body to pull the patient's head in the opposite direction, so as to make the neck reach a certain strength, so as to form a kind of pressure on the cervical spine, and also make the cervical spine better relieve pain, so that those with cervical spondylosis can further get the first and recover.

Second, traction cervical spine ** method.

In fact, for traction of the cervical spine, traction can be carried out in many ways, and this traction method can be more effective in the patient's cervical spine problems, so that the patient can get the **. First of all, the patient can use the traction belt to pull the cervical spine, but during the traction process, the patient should remember not to overdo it, as this may cause injury to the cervical spine. Secondly, patients can also carry out traction on the cervical spine by purchasing a traction ring, which can be better controlled by themselves and better reduce cervical spine pain compared to the traction belt.

Finally, if there is a serious problem with the cervical spine, this requires the patient to go to the hospital for a professional **. <>

3. Summary of experience in cervical traction.

As one of the common diseases in our daily life, cervical spondylosis is not a major disease, but it can have a deep impact on people's daily life, and once the cervical spine hurts, it will make everyone unmotivated to work. This requires us to pay attention to our sitting posture at all times in our daily life to prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.

The first is to be able to sit in a position and do this while sitting.

The second type can also be used for recumbent traction, which can be done while lying there.

Finally, oblique traction, also known as semi-recumbent traction, can be performed. All three of these are very good, and they can also be used to properly ** our spine.

This can be towed in a professional place, and it can be carried out by seat traction, recumbent traction, or oblique traction, semi-recumbent traction, a total of 4 methods.

You can use sitting traction, you can choose recumbent traction, you can also use external force for traction, you can also use exercise for traction, and you can also wear related instruments.

You should go to the hospital and have the doctor teach you how to do it. You can use an air ring, or you can use a traction pillow, or you can go to a regular hospital.

Problem description: If you are sitting for cervical traction, you have questions about your sitting posture and whether the instrument and the head should be pulled at an angle or vertically. I hope that those who know will give, thank you!

Analysis: a) Traction.

1.Indications Cervical traction is often the preferred choice for radiculopathy, cervical, and sympathetic cervical spondylosis**. However, cervical myelopathy with obvious spinal cord compression and patients with obvious or segmental cervical instability should not be used.

2.Methods of cervical traction Generally, cervical occipital traction belt is used for cervical traction.

1) Posture: * You can take a sitting or lying position, for convenience, take a more stable sitting position, so that the neck is tilted forward from the longitudinal axis of the torso about 10°-3o° to avoid overextension. The patient is asked to fully relax the neck, shoulders, and entire body muscles.

The traction position should be comfortable for the patient and adjusted as appropriate if uncomfortable. In patients with vertebral artery disease, the anterior angle should be small, and in patients with cervical myelopathy, it is advisable to adopt a nearly vertical posture and avoid forward flexion and traction.

2) Traction weight and duration: The commonly used traction weight varies greatly, from 1 10 to 1 5 of the patient's own weight, most of them use 6-7kg, and a smaller weight is used at the beginning to facilitate the patient's adaptation. At the end of each traction, the patient should have a significant neck stretching sensation without any particular discomfort, and if this sensation is not obvious, the weight should be increased as appropriate.

Each towing session usually lasts 20-30 minutes. The traction weight and duration can be combined differently, generally the traction weight is larger and the duration is shorter, and the traction weight is smaller.

3) Traction frequency and course of treatment: Generally, traction is 1-2 times a day, and there are also 3 times a day, 10-20 days for a course of treatment, which can last for several courses until the symptoms are basically eliminated.

4) If the effect of sitting traction is not effective, or the patient has severe symptoms or is weak and unable to sit for a long time, supine traction can be used. Maintain a proper posture with a pillow pad, and the traction weight is generally 2-3kg. Continuous traction for 2 hours is followed by a 15-minute rest before traction for a total of 1o-14 hours per day.

5) Intermittent traction can be carried out with electric traction equipment, which is believed to be beneficial for muscle relaxation and local blood circulation. Generally, it is traction for 2 minutes, relax or reduce the traction weight for 1 minute, and repeat for about half an hour.

1. Cervical traction method.

1. Sitting traction: In the process, it will be adjusted according to the specific situation of the patient (age, gender, physique, lesion location, severity of the disease, reaction, etc.). Traction angle:

Forward flexion (cervical forward flexion 10 30) neutral position (forward flexion 0) posterior extension position (posterior extension 5 10) Traction weight: The traction weight is best when it exceeds the head weight, which is roughly 10% of the total body weight of normal adults and 5% of the body weight of the elderly and frail, and gradually gain weight. The towing time is 10-30 minutes each time.

2. Traction in the recumbent position: the continuous traction weight is 5% 10% of the body weight, 20 30 minutes each time, and the weight of continuous traction (also known as long-lasting traction) starts from 2 3kg and gradually increases to 4 5kg. Traction time is more than 6 hours, 10 15 minutes of rest is required for every 2 hours of traction, traction **2 3 days or after symptom relief, the weight can be gradually reduced to 2 3 kg and the traction time can be shortened, and the traction can be maintained to consolidate the efficacy.

3. Electric cervical traction: the patient is in the sitting or supine position, the setting principle refers to the sitting position and the lying position of heavy hammer traction, the traction weight is equivalent to 10% of the patient's body weight, and the time is within 10 30 minutes whether it is continuous traction or intermittent traction. Generally 15-20 minutes.

Intermittent traction weight can be slightly increased, can be increased from about 10kg, the maximum can not exceed 20kg, when the symptoms are reduced to maintain or gradually reduce the weight, traction time and intermittent according to the principle of 3:1 or 4:1 set traction**15 20 minutes, 10 days for a course of treatment, generally 1 2 courses of treatment.

In addition, it is possible to carry out unarmed sitting traction and freehand lying traction.

Cervical traction devices on the market can be purchased in the home, which is suitable for patients with mild cervical spondylosis.

2. Lumbar traction method (pelvic hammer traction).

Make the patient lie supine on the ** bed, the calf is raised, the hip is flexed and the knee is about 90 degrees, and the pelvic traction belt fixes the hip (above the iliac crest) The two ends of the traction belt are connected with the traction rope, respectively, and the height of the two pulleys is about 15 20cm away from the bed surface through the pulley device installed at the foot end of the bed, and the distance is similar to the width of the human body.

Generally the towing weight on each side is 7 15kg. Start with 7kg on each side for the first tow and gradually increase to the right weight. For every 1 hour of traction, take a 20-minute break.

After the patient adapts, the duration of traction is gradually extended, and the traction is stopped at night to facilitate sleep. Combined with the upper joint loosening technique (lumbar joint), the spinous process is pressed vertically, the spinous process is pushed laterally, the transverse process is pressed vertically, and the rotation is swung up.
