Since 1982 more than 40,000 health care providers have chosen the Saunders Cervical Traction Device to use in their clinics. But when their patients tried to use seated over-the-door traction at home, they…

Couldn't relax (traction applied while sitting has been shown to cause higher levels of muscle activity than supine traction, making the traction less effective)
Risked aggravation of the TMJ or "jaw joints" (because of forces applied to the jaw through the chin strap)
Were uncomfortable (many patients had to return to the clinic for more costly cervical traction)

The Cervical HomeTrac

Provides traction in a natural, relaxed positon at a 15 degree angle
Directs traction forces toward the occiput (the back of the head) thereby preventing compression of the TMJ through the chin
Offers a comfortable and cost-effective option to continuing clinical traction treatments
