Understanding cervical traction unit
Cervical traction unit is one of the pieces of equipment installed at our Katpadi Road clinic. Technology alone does not fix problems — but paired with a hands-on physiotherapist, the right device speeds up recovery, gives objective feedback, and makes higher-dose training safe.

How Vellore Physio treats cervical traction unit
Precise assessment
Detailed 45-minute assessment covers movement, strength, neurology, function and lifestyle — with a plan you can read.
Family-first
Caregivers are trained in every session. You leave able to continue the work at home.
Time-boxed
Progress is reviewed at 2 and 4 weeks. No open-ended packages, no drip-fed sessions.
Evidence-first
Only treatments with real evidence for your condition — no unproven modalities.
Active rehab
Every session includes movement and loading. Passive-only treatment plans aren't offered here.
Outcome-tracked
Objective measures — ROM, strength, walking speed, balance, PROMs — tracked at every review.
Typical recovery timeline
| Phase | When | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Screening | Session 1 | Confirm indication, screen contraindications, take before-photos or objective measures. |
| Loading | Sessions 2–4 | Start with conservative dosing and build response — combined with hands-on rehab. |
| Progression | Sessions 4–8 | Escalate intensity or complexity based on your response, add task-specific practice. |
| Discharge | Session 8+ | Transition to independent home programme with a review at 4 weeks. |
What the guidelines say
Every piece of equipment at Vellore Physio is chosen because there is peer-reviewed evidence that it improves outcomes when used in the right patient at the right dose. We service equipment on schedule and clinicians complete annual competency reviews.

What Vellore patients say about cervical traction unit care
- Jul 2025
"Compared three clinics in Vellore before choosing this one. What convinced me was that the assessment for my cervical traction unit was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."
Vignesh G.Bagayam, Vellore - Apr 2025
"Post-surgery rehab for cervical traction unit was handled beautifully. Coordinated directly with my surgeon at CMC. Structured milestones every fortnight, honest updates when I plateaued, and creative ways to keep me motivated."
Shalini V.Vellore Fort, Vellore - Sep 2025
"a 19-year-old student here from Thorapadi. Had chronic cervical traction unit for over a year. What worked was pain-education plus graded exercise, not endless machines. Now I sleep through the night and go for morning walks pain-free."
Vasanth T.Thorapadi, Vellore - May 2026
"My father, a diabetic patient in Arcot, was recovering from cervical traction unit. The physiotherapist worked around his sugar levels, mobility, and family schedule. Six weeks in, he is walking without support. Truly patient-centred care."
Lakshmi K.Arcot, Vellore - Jun 2025
"My son's school in Walajapet recommended this clinic for his cervical traction unit. The paediatric therapist made every session fun for him. Parents get a home program too. In 8 weeks the difference is dramatic."
