The Theratrac Glide Cervical Traction Unit (by PMT) is a top-of-the-line cervical traction device.
The Theratrac Glide focuses on healing any neck pain while maintaining user comfort.
The traction system utilizes cables connected to a track which smoothly moves your head up and down. The user can control the amount of traction by using the dial attached to the device. This unit is similar to the Saunders Cervical Traction Device yet costs much less which is a win:win.
Compared to over-the-door and inflatable traction devices, the Theratrac Glide does not constrict your head and neck because of the adjustable foam neck pads.
The Theratrac Glide Cervical Traction Unit alleviates neck tension, tightness, and pain while delivering it with maximum user comfort. The Cervical Traction system is operated by an easy to use dial which controls the cable system to increase or decrease head elevation smoothly. The cable system always ensures a comfortable transition because the neck is at a 30-degree angle and is not constricted in any way, unlike an over-the-door or inflation system.
The neck pad width can be adjusted to fit the unique shape of your body by twisting the knobs on the sides of the device. While using the device, lay in a supine position flat on your back and it is recommended to have your legs elevated.
Cervical traction is a technique used to gently pull your head from the neck to reduce pressure on the spine. It’s a safe alternative for eliminating neck pain as opposed to using surgeries and drugs. You can use it at home or as part of therapy treatment.
It’s a highly effective technique that’s easy and fast-acting. In this article, we explain everything you need to know about this technique.
Cervical traction devices such as the TheraTrac Glide Traction Device alleviate pains from the neck region. Some of the conditions associated with the cervical region include sprains, pinched nerves, herniated discs, spasms, cervical spondylosis, and pain in joints.
Cervical traction works by stretching the muscles and the spine, relieving pain and pressure. The main benefits of this technique include:
The three main types of cervical traction include:
Manual cervical traction is the manual pulling of the head from your neck. A physiotherapist usually does it as you lay down on a table. They gently pull your head and hold it at one position before releasing and repeating the same process. Your physiotherapists repeat this process until the proper adjustments are made.
Like manual cervical traction, mechanical cervical traction is also performed by a physiotherapist. But, this type uses a harness that’s attached or hooked to a system of weights. The machine applies traction force to pull your head from the neck or spine.
Over the door cervical traction is for home use. It has a harness connected to a pulley system that goes over a door. This traction device can be used while sitting, standing, or lying down.
The Theratrac Glide Cervical Traction Device is among the best traction devices in the market. It’s designed with easy-to-use features, making it an excellent device for any person. Its primary purpose is to realign the spine and neck using the traction method.
The device has a pressure gauge that’s easy to read and measures in both kilograms and pounds. You can adjust it in three different angles to ensure you get the best position effective for your healing. It comes assembled, meaning you don’t have to waste time reading the manual or trying to understand how to assemble it.
The neck wedges of the cervical traction device can adjust to any neck size with just a turn of the knob to either side. Additionally, it has a carrying case, a head strap sleeve, and a user’s guide to ensure every user gets the best results.
Persons with the following conditions can use the cervical traction device:
It’s crucial to note that persons with the following conditions shouldn’t use the traction device:
Be sure to consult your doctor or physiotherapist before using this product.
Designed with your utmost comfort and rehabilitation in mind. This compact and lightweight device effectively stretches and re-aligns the neck and spine with the assistance of a pump to achieve the perfect traction specific to your preferences. This device is entirely user-controlled with an easy-read gauge measuring units in both pounds and kilograms, as well as 3 adjustable angles (15, 20 and 25-degree angles); ensuring a personalized healing experience for each patient. The device comes already assembled and no further assembly is needed.
Here are the steps to follow when using the Traction Device. The steps are divided into three main stages: preparation, applying, and cleaning the cervical traction.
In the first stage, find a comfortable place, preferably a firm surface and lie down. Separate the wedges as you adjust them to ensure your neck is placed between them. Then, loosen the head strap and set the device to an angle recommended by your doctor. Finally, use a timer to help you get the best results as per your treatment.
In this stage, lie down in a comfortable position such that your neck is in between the neck wedges and your head on the head pad. Note that as you settle your body into the device, the wedges may slightly adjust or rotate. Be sure to adjust the wedges by turning the knobs to ensure your neck has no discomfort.
Fit the headband by securing it tightly around your head and over your forehead. Lastly, switch on the harness pump and apply traction.
After using the TheraTrac traction device, it’s recommended that you use a disinfectant to clean the surfaces. Avoid immersing the device in water.
Most importantly, if multiple persons use the device, be sure to clean it thoroughly after use. Focus on areas that are in constant contact with your body, such as the neck wedges. You can use a new head pad or strap to avoid sharing.
To maintain the traction device, clean it using suitable disinfectants as recommended by the manufacturer. Also, please place it in a safe place and avoid dipping it in water.
There are various benefits of using the traction device, including:
The traction device comes assembled, which makes it simple to use. It has self-adjusting neck wedges and can rotate to three different angles by just turning a knob. In addition, it has a pressure gauge that’s easy to use, helping patients apply the force required for their treatment.
Using a TheraTrac Glide Traction Device is cost-effective compared to treating neck pain using other treatments such as surgery. It’s an excellent alternative for those who dislike invasive surgeries and treatments. In addition, once you buy it, you can use it for an extended period as long as you maintain it properly.
The traction device is light in weight, making it portable. You can use it in your office, at home, or during a vacation. This is very helpful to patients that have to travel from one place to another due to a job or other personal reasons.
Using the TheraTrac Glide Traction Device can help you alleviate your neck pain at the comfort of your home. It reduces the need to use pain killers now and then, which can be pretty addictive and harmful to your health.
Some of the accessories that come with the traction device include:
Other alternatives you can use to treat your spine or neck pain include:
Neck pain can be pretty uncomfortable, especially since it leads to headaches and can extend to your back and shoulders. Yoga poses can help you get rid of neck pain as long as you master the correct poses. Through yoga, you can learn to release any tension in your body.
If you experience an injury, you can take a day or two to rest the injury. Once it’s relaxed, begin its healing process through stretches. A physiotherapist can come in handy in guiding you on the best stretches to alleviate your pain.
There are times when you might have neck, spine or back pain due to a poor walking posture. It’s essential that you walk up-right to reduce any tensions in your body and stretch your muscles.
While you can buy pain killers over the counter, it’s best to consult your doctor once you start experiencing neck pain. You might be having internal injuries or a concussion, which may not be easy to diagnose. If you experience numbness or prolonged pain, it’s best to visit your doctor.

Family and small business...
We are a small, but mighty staff...
When you can work with your family it blurs the line between having fun and work. Eve (7) is our consummate helper with small boxes. Henson (9) loves to measure boxes, stack them, and occasionally build forts. Jordan is the analyzer and numbers guy. I am an attorney by training, photography lover by choice and all around level-headed problem fixer.
Stacy is a true gem of a human being! If 1000 people where in a room, Stacy would be the #1 most calm under pressure and is also one of the most patient persons you will ever meet. Our customers love the help they receive from Stacy and our customer service reviews show it!
Mary Grace is our absolute all-star at OrthoBracing.com! Customers love her, she has an amazing Spotify play list and she brings lots of laughter (and the occasional British accent) to the office. We are so lucky to have her work alongside us as this business serves more and more people.
I purchased this for use after my knee replacement surgery, and it has been a godsend. It is easy to fill and carry in addition to providing comfort and pain relief while using. It is a definite MUST so don't hesitate to purchase.
Love it! I like the adjustable wraps to hold it in place.
Ordered Fusion to replace a worn out Freestyle brace. The Fusion is substantially more durable and the velcro straps are replaceable, which is a plus because the velcro straps on the Freestyle are worn out and no longer hold. Fit wise the Fusion is fairly adjustable and provides more rigid bracing than the Freestyle. Do not have to adjust the Fusion as much as the Freestyle to acheive the same relief for medial OA. If this one ever wears out, I’ll definitely be replacing it w/ another.
Am using it for my second knee replacement. I knew it would work because I borrowed an ice machine for my last operation. That machine no longer works, so I decided to buy this one. Definitely a necessity as I do not take any kind of drugs. A very positive purchase which I will loan to friends and family.
I ordered this device right before I had rotator cuff surgery. I didn't know what I needed so I waited to the last minute. To my surprise it came in the day before my surgery and has worked perfectly! Thank you so much for the fast, friendly service!
This has been a God-send in relieving the pain after knee replacement surgery. I don’t like strong pain meds so acetaminophen and cold therapy manages perfectly.
GREAT customer service from Stacey when I inquired about purchasing a system for upcoming hip replacement surgery. Stacey was SUPER helpful in explaining plus made sure I received everything I needed prior to surgery. I HIGHLY recommend this product. I purchased the Kodiak, Intelli-flo hip pad as well as the Intelli-flo knee pad. I'm likely needing knee replacement soon, so am prepared now. It worked beautifully in recovering from hip surgery.
Due to being a kidney transplant patient, I have more difficulty with distal swelling in both legs, so post full knee replacement found me a bit behind the power curve, as they say, with a smaller ice machine (also purchased from Ortho Bracing and we still use it as a back-up, a great value on the DonJoy machine!). I noticed that the ice packs provided by the hospital were Breg, so came back to Ortho Bracing and found this dynamic Breg unit that combined a much larger leg pad with adjustable cooling and compression, a true "win-win" for me! The medical-grade machine at PT was quite painful, but therapists insisted that I needed this type of treatment, and the Breg unit allows me to do home treatment with wonderful results - dramatically reduced bruising, pain, and swelling. Thanks for the extremely fast shipping and fantastic customer service, and for a cooling therapy machine that got me through my 1st post-op consultation with flying colors. My orthopedic surgeon was very pleased to see that we'd gotten the Breg, and my PT wanted full contact information for Ortho Bracing after seeing how well the system was working for my home use! And, the ice bags work beautifully with absolutely no leakage, even though I carry them back and forth from the kitchen to the bedroom or living room for application.
Glad not to have to get ice every day. These bags are great! Last a long time.
This is the second one I have had. Works great. Have used for myself after many surgeries and shared with family for several more. Suggest running a mild bleach solution thru lines/cooling pads before you put them away if you do not have chlorinated city water to prevent mold/mildew in the lines that can clog it up. I think that’s what happened to my first one. Great device and was the best deal from Orthobracing.com.
I have been suffering from neck pain for a while. But before visiting a doctor I decided to give this a try. And it worked. This traction device, used carefully, was able to relieve a good deal of pain and restore mobility. I will still see a doctor but with a much more relaxed state of mind.
Ice bags are working great, as advertised…..So much easier than having to continually buy bags of ice.
I had an issue with my first order and customer service was fantastic!!! They immediately sent replacements, which I received in 2 days. Will definitely order from them again, if the need ever arises!!
My husband had a total shoulder revision. He is not a fan of ice packs that he has used in the past. His Dr recommended an iceman machine which we never heard of so thought we would purchase one. It has been a blessing. My husband actually wants it on his shoulder. The coldness takes away a lot of the burning he has. We are only on day 2 1/2 of using it. We have heard nothing but good things on the iceman machine. We would highly recommend it to any one getting surgery. Thank you so much
Easy to set up and use, and my husband loves the pain control pre-surgery! We use small water bottles that we freeze and then use instead of ice, the system retains the cold water for hours, making repeated cold therapy simple and effective!
Outstanding customer service! The cool compression machine works very well. My surgeon explained that icing with compression heals you much faster than just ice alone. I even purchased a pad for my back; haven't used it yet. Only problem is the difficulty putting on the shoulder pad if you are not large (or mansize). Poor directions from manufacturer on how to apply. Orthobracing had to email me a "Youtube" video because the directions are only printed with pictures on the pad itself. The manufacturer should definitely make a smaller sized women's shoulder pad, or send more velcro straps to help adjust shoulder pad so it doesn't slip off. The ice bags it comes with leak easily; I purchased the large cubes as insurance from another less expensive site.
Easiest way is with the bags though, so when I called them to tell them some were leaking, they shipped me another set of bags immediately.
Really impressed with the customer service! They couldn't be nicer or more helpful.
They realize that we're buying the unit because we're in a lot of pain and need quick relief. I realized that when using the machine I'm in less pain, therefore requiring Less Painkillers! Great machine for at home use without having to pay almost the same price just to rent a more expensive machine. So; differences are; you may pay more to buy this, but you OWN it and the clock isn't ticking. If your surgery was more involved causing a longer recovery time (like mine). Other difference is that you do have to change the ice bags/cubes every six hours, rental has freon so no changing ice bags. Not too messy. I have a metal mixing bowl next to it to put the top in while changing cubes/bags.
I highly recommend the product, and especially this company to purchase it from. Feel better everyone! :)
