Management of cervical radicular syndromes can involve surgical or conservative approaches. Evidence suggests that while surgery may provide faster pain relief compared to physical therapy or hard-collar immobilization, there is minimal difference in long-term outcomes (Carragee EJ, et al. 2010). Cervical traction therapy, often part of rehabilitation programs, applies a distracting force to the cervical spine to relieve nerve root compression caused by intervertebral discs. … Continue reading Evaluating the Efficacy of Cervical Traction: Optimal Positions, Angles, and Techniques for Managing Cervical Radicular syndromes
