I have found inflatable neck traction very useful for neck radiculopathy cases. A cheap source is available on ebay

I have gotten these in for patients – they are prompt. You can get these from Dr. Ho and hence off the shopping channel but they are much more expensive for virtually the same thing (though he adds a cd on necks).
I have one lady get a scandinavian made unit which looked much more “industrial” in build. Has anyone had any experience with these devices they would like to share?
Addendum – these inflatable traction devices can be now bought at Broad St. & 14 Ave Shoppers and Canadian Tire under “Dr. Ho’s” products
