1. Overusing the neck traction device can strain the muscles and ligaments, resulting in post-traction pain. In this case, we recommend reducing the traction time.

2. Discomfort can also be caused by excessive friction on the skin. If pain occurs, we recommend shortening the usage time.

3. Additionally, applying heat to the treatment area before and after use to promote blood circulation can help reduce discomfort.

Diagnosed or Suspected Cervical Spine Conditions:
If you have diagnosed or suspected conditions like cervical spine tumors, tuberculosis, or infections, it's advised to avoid traction.

Severe Disc Problems or Spinal Issues:
If you have a central cervical disc herniation with symptoms like pain, numbness, or dysfunction in both your arms or legs, or issues with bowel and bladder control, cervical traction should be avoided. Patients with cervical myelopathy (spinal cord compression) or severe spinal stenosis should also avoid cervical traction.

Cervical Disc Herniation with Spinal Slippage (Spondylolisthesis):
If your cervical spine has vertebrae that are displaced (spondylolisthesis), traction could make things worse, so it should be avoided.

Poor Overall Health or Serious Health Conditions:
If you're dealing with serious respiratory, circulatory, or other health issues, cervical traction might not be safe for you. Always consult your doctor to make sure traction is appropriate for your health condition.

Osteoporosis, High Blood Pressure, or Heart Problems:
People with significant osteoporosis (bone thinning), high blood pressure, or heart disease should avoid cervical traction. Traction can cause fractures in osteoporotic bones or worsen heart and blood pressure issues.

Increased Neck Pain After Treatment:
If you notice your symptoms worsen or you experience intense pain after using traction, stop immediately and consult with your doctor.

Pregnancy, Children, or Cancer/Tumor Patients:
Pregnant women, children, and patients with cancer or tumors should avoid cervical traction.
