Anyone using a pneumatic cervical traction collar?

If you have any type of cord compression or stenosis then be careful.
I have C5-7 herniated disc with spinal cord compression and my pain management doctor recommended using a traction device. After 10 minutes of use and crying from the pain I ended up in the ER with bilateral lower limb paralysis and double vision. I was then informed that these types of devices can move the alignment and cause worsening problems.

I'm going slow and easy. Thank you for your post!

@cheryl46 That's good information to know. Are you still having spine symptoms? Did you find some relief for what was happening?
