Neck Traction Devices
A neck traction device gently stretches the neck to create space between the vertebrae, easing pressure on the discs and nerves and relieving stiffness and tension. mLab's Neck Cloud uses your own body weight and a curved base - no motors - for sessions of just 5-10 minutes at home, for drug-free neck relief.

How to choose a neck traction device
Neck traction devices range from simple foam wedges to inflatable collars and door-mounted units. When choosing a neck traction device, consider:
- Type - body-weight curved devices are simple and need no pump or motor
- Session length - most home devices are used for 5-10 minutes at a time
- Comfort - a supportive, contoured shape makes daily use easier to keep up
- Ease of use - no straps, pumps or batteries means you will actually use it
Frequently asked questions
Do neck traction devices work?
Neck traction devices can relieve neck stiffness and nerve-related pain by gently creating space between the vertebrae, which eases pressure on discs and nerve roots. Research suggests traction helps many people with neck tension and pinched-nerve symptoms. Home devices like the Neck Cloud use body weight for short sessions and work best as part of good posture and gentle movement.
How long should you use a neck traction device?
Most people use a neck traction device for 5-10 minutes per session, once or twice a day. Start with shorter sessions of 2-5 minutes and build up as your neck adjusts. Never force the stretch or exceed 15 minutes, and stop if you feel dizziness, numbness or sharp pain. Consistency over several weeks matters more than long sessions.
Are neck traction devices safe?
Home neck traction devices are safe for most people when used gently and for short sessions. Stop and check with a doctor if you feel increasing numbness, weakness, dizziness or sharp pain. Avoid traction if you have had recent neck surgery, a fracture, severe osteoporosis or certain spinal conditions without medical advice first.
A quick, honest note. The Neck Cloud eases everyday neck tension but is not a treatment for a diagnosed spinal condition. Use gently, and avoid traction and see a doctor if you have had recent neck surgery, a fracture, severe osteoporosis, or if symptoms worsen with use.
