What is Cervical Traction?
A highly effective method of applying a distraction force used to relieve neck pain for individuals suffering from arthritis, herniated and/or bulging discs, cervical muscle strains and spasms.
Cervical Traction works by gently pulling the head away from the neck. By doing so:
-The muscles begin to relax and gradually stretch, along with ligaments around the spine.
-The intervertebral space expands, which brings blood flow, circulation, and nutrition to the areas which were being compressed.
-Increased circulation helps to oxygenate muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments, which leads to decreased pain and increased mobility.
-Pinched nerves are released. Herniated and bulging discs reduce. Pressure is relieved.
What makes The Neck Hammock different?
In the past, individuals could only receive traction at a physical therapist’s office, but these visits are often time consuming, inconvenient, and costly. Today, there are many at-home cervical traction devices, but most are complex, cumbersome, bulky, expensive, and potentially injurious. What is needed is an easy to use, compact, non-marring, effective traction device that minimizes discomfort and avoids potentially injurious stresses, while giving the patient ultimate relaxation and pain relief.
And that’s how and why The Neck Hammock was created!

A+ Product that can be Useful for any Manual Therapist As a student in a doctor of chiropractic program, I sit in a chair upwards of 7-9 hours a day. After using the neck hammock for a time period of 15 minutes during a break hour, after school, before I go to bed, my body feels rejuvenated. My neck is frequently in a flexed position for a greater majority of the day, so having an apparatus that does cervical traction has been absolutely incredible. Like the company says on the website, this product does not replace manual therapy, but it most…
Best Decision EVER!!! Straight Magic Length:: 0:22 Mins Alright….truthfully this thing is straight magic! I work 9 to 5 at a computer and afterwards I head to kickboxing and it has been doing a number on my neck and back. I have been using the Neck Hammock for a few days now and honestly this thing is a game changer. I can feel less tension in both my neck and my back. I just told my mom to go buy one because I know this will make a big difference for her as well. I think everyone can relate to stress…
I would give it 5 stars if there’s an instruction on where my head/neck should rest on I am pretty impressed by the product. However, I can only give it 4 stars because I don’t find any information about where my head/neck should rest on the device. I checked the included documentation and the official website. Yes, there are pictures and videos, but each person’s body is different and it would be a lot more helpful if the company explicitly instructs user where our head/neck should rest on.
