Reclaim your comfort and mobility with the Saunders Cervical Home Traction Device. Designed to deliver clinical-grade relief in the privacy of your own home, this device offers a powerful solution for those managing chronic neck pain, stiffness, or injury. Instead of relying solely on frequent clinic visits or invasive procedures, you can take control of your treatment plan with a system engineered for safety, precision, and ease of use.

Setting up your treatment is intuitive and requires no assistance. The patented self-adjusting neck wedges ensure a personalized fit every time, while the simple "click in place" pump mechanism allows you to start your session in seconds. You remain in complete control of the traction force thanks to an easy-to-read pressure gauge, and a built-in blow-off valve acts as a safety guard to limit the amount of force applied. Compact and portable, this device ensures you never have to miss a treatment, even when traveling.

Key Features and Benefits

Clinical-Grade Therapy at Home: The innovative design replicates the angle and force of clinical traction, promoting consistent treatment and faster recovery without the cost of continuous office visits.
Precise Force Control: The patented pneumatic pump system ensures reliable force accuracy and leak-free performance. An easy-to-read gauge puts total control in your hands, allowing you to monitor pressure at all times.
Enhanced Safety Mechanisms: A blow-off valve automatically limits the amount of force that can be applied, ensuring safe operation during every session.
Customized Fit: Patented self-adjusting neck wedges rotate to provide a perfect, secure fit for various neck sizes, maximizing comfort and effectiveness.
User-Friendly Design: Quick and simple patient set-up enables you to perform home traction without assistance. The "click in place" pump makes preparation effortless.
Portable Convenience: The device is lightweight and comes with a carrying case, increasing compliance by allowing you to maintain your treatment schedule anywhere.
Alternative to Surgery: For many patients, consistent use of this device serves as a proven, non-invasive alternative to surgical intervention.
Improved Range of Motion: By gently stretching the muscles in your neck and upper back, cervical traction can help improve flexibility and range of motion in these areas. This can be particularly beneficial for those with desk jobs or sedentary lifestyles that often lead to stiffness and tightness in these muscle groups.
Enhanced Posture: Maintaining good posture is vital for overall health and well-being. Using a cervical traction device can help correct postural imbalances caused by poor posture habits or injuries.

Safe and Controlled Home Therapy

Safety is paramount when performing traction therapy on your own, and the Saunders device is engineered to prioritize your well-being. Unlike some over-the-door traction units that can strain the jaw, this device directs traction forces to the back of the head, preventing uncomfortable compression of the TMJ (temporomandibular joint). You remain in total control of the treatment intensity thanks to an easy-to-read pressure gauge and a built-in blow-off valve that limits the amount of force applied, ensuring you never exceed safe limits.

TMJ Protection: Forces are applied to the occiput (back of the head) rather than the chin, eliminating jaw compression.
Precision Control: Hand-held pump with an integrated pressure gauge allows for accurate force monitoring.
Safety Valve: Blow-off valve feature prevents excessive force application for worry-free use.
Surgery Alternative: Provides a non-invasive, proven management option that may help some patients delay or avoid surgery.

The Headmaster Collar is a versatile and effective tool that can be used for a variety of conditions related to the cervical spine. In addition to its use in treating whiplash and chronic neck pain, it has also been shown to be beneficial for patients with degenerative disc disease, cervical radiculopathy, and other cervical spine disorders.

Indications for Use

This device is designed to assist in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions affecting the neck. It serves as a powerful tool for those suffering from:

Osteoarthritis: Alleviates pressure caused by degenerative changes in the spine.

Preventing Neck Pain

In addition to treating existing neck pain, it is important to take preventive measures to avoid future discomfort. Here are some tips for preventing neck pain:

Maintain good posture: Sitting and standing with proper alignment can help prevent strain on the neck muscles and spine.
Use ergonomically designed furniture: When working at a desk or using a computer, it is important to have a chair and desk that are designed to support your body and promote good posture.
Take frequent breaks: It is recommended to take short breaks every 20-30 minutes when sitting for long periods of time. During these breaks, stretch and move around to alleviate tension in the neck muscles.
