| Having a pinched nerve in your neck (a cervical radiculopathy or neck pain) is a pretty common condition, especially for those who are sitting behind computers every day. It's often painful, and sometimes disabling. Though some cases of pinched nerves may eventually need surgery, the vast majority doesn't. Pain in the shoulder or arm that can be caused by tilting or turning the head in a particular way is likely due to a pinched nerve in the neck. Just as you can feel pain down your arm by hitting the funny bone (ulnar nerve) in your elbow, shoulder and/or arm pain is often caused by neck problems. It is usually possible to start treatment of neck pain at home. One of the most helpful neck pain treatments is cervical traction (with PMR® Air traction neck brace). All you need is an air neck traction device. For decades, air neck traction has been applied widely for neck pain relief of neck muscle spasm or nerve root compression. Neck Traction is a technique in which a force is applied to a part of the body to reduce paravertebral muscle spasms by stretching soft tissues, and in certain circumstances separating facet joint surfaces or bony structures. Additional pounds for neck traction is usually utilized in the hospitals or clinics for temporary use and in certain situations and under observation with occasional imaging, making sure of not to de-stabilize the spine. Studies have shown that neck traction must be constant so that the muscles may tire and the strain falls on the joints. It generally takes 2 minutes of sustained traction before the intervertebral spaces begin to widen. PMR® Air Traction Neck Brace
