The EverTrac Cervical Traction Device represents a significant advancement in home traction technology through its innovative Direct Cable Technology system. Unlike pneumatic devices that rely on air pressure, this mechanical traction unit uses a direct cable mechanism to deliver precise traction force rated up to 50 pounds without the risk of air leakage that can compromise treatment consistency. The system operates through a simple turning mechanism where users rotate the traction knob approximately 1-2 times to achieve their prescribed traction force, with an integrated scale providing visual confirmation of the applied pressure. This technology directs tractional force specifically toward the occiput (back of the head), effectively reducing strain on the jaw and neck while maximizing cervical decompression. The device is particularly beneficial for treating musculoskeletal or neurological impairments of the cervical spine, including conditions such as nerve root compression, muscle tightness around the neck area, headaches, and upper back pain.
Clinical applications include relaxing muscle spasms, decompressing spinal structures, and relieving chronic neck discomfort. The mechanical design ensures consistent performance over time without the maintenance requirements of pneumatic systems, and the quick-release button allows for immediate cessation of traction when sessions conclude. While the device lacks the multiple angle adjustments found in some premium pneumatic models, its precision force control and reliability make it suitable for users requiring exact traction levels as prescribed by healthcare providers. The absence of air as the driving medium eliminates concerns about gradual pressure loss during extended treatment sessions, ensuring therapeutic effectiveness throughout the recommended 20-25 minute duration typically required for measurable vertebral separation.
