If you've been a patient of Dr. Kayla's for a while, she has probably stressed the importance of doing your daily neck traction at her St Paul MN chiropractic clinic. Cervical traction is an awesome daily "spinal hygiene" exercise that stretches the neck muscles and ligaments, protects your cervical discs, treats cervical herniated disc pain, takes the pressure off the cervical neck nerves, decreases neck pain and headaches, and restores the neck curve. Rehabilitating the curve in the neck is very important as all the nerves to the rest of the body go through the neck area first!

Neck Traction In St Paul MN

Why do people have a reduced neck curve nowadays?? We spend unprecedented and historical amounts of time sitting, working on computers, playing video games, and looking at our phones EVERY SINGLE DAY. Our head weighs as much as a bowling ball so when our head leans forward that stresses and strains the neck and ultimately lead to the loss of the neck curve. So reducing these activities, getting regular chiropractic adjustments, and doing daily neck traction are strongly advised under Dr. Kayla's expert care at Back To Wellness Chiropractic & Nutrition in St. Paul MN!
