A portable traction device can include a sling that is sized to cradle a user's head. The sling can be associated with an anchor that is positioned a height above the floor when the portable traction device is in use. A tensile force vector between the anchor and the sling allows for cervical traction. The portable traction device can additionally include one or more flexible straps between the anchor and the sling that can differentially regulate the amplitude of the tensile force vector by stretching.

A sling of a portable traction device cradles a user's head and includes a pair of shock cords attached at opposite ends of the sling. The ends of the shock cords opposite shock cords are anchored is anchored to a structure, such as a closed door at the hinged side of the door, between the door and door frame, using an anchor, at a height, to generate a tension vector at an acute angle relative to the floor. The tension applies cervical traction.
A portable traction device can include a sling that is sized to cradle a user's head primarily at the back and lower part of the skull. The sling can be associated with flexible elastic tethers that are, in turn, associated with an anchor that is positioned a height above the floor when the portable traction device is in use. A tensile force vector between the anchor and the sling allows for cervical traction. The sling can additionally be associated with speakers and/or resonant actuators and can be simplified to increase portability and ease of use.

Traction apparatus for medical purposes, namely, a cervical traction apparatus that provides traction to the muscles of the neck, decreases compressive forces in the neck, and relieves pressure off the discs residing between the vertebrae in the neck; Physical therapy and cervical traction apparatus for reducing neck pain and headaches; Physical therapy and cervical traction apparatus for improving posture
A sling of a portable traction device cradles a user's head primarily at the back and lower part of the skull. The sling is attached to at least one shock cord. The at least one shock cords is also anchored to a structure, such as a closed door at the hinged side of the door, between the door and door frame, using an anchor, at a height, to generate a tension vector at an acute angle relative to the floor. The tension applies cervical traction.
