APPLYING TRACTION
1 Lie on your back, positioning your body so the neck wedges cradle the middle or
narrowest part of your neck and your head rests comfortably on the head pad (See
Figure 2 ) The neck wedges should contact your neck midway between the tips of
your earlobes and the top of your shoulders
2 Turn either of the adjustment knobs until the wedges have moved firmly against
both sides of the neck
3 As you settle into the Saunders Cervical Traction device, the neck wedges may
slightly rotate and self-adjust to the contour of your head and neck, or you can
rotate the wedges manually as needed for the most comfortable fit
4 Secure the head strap over your forehead, just above the browline This strap
should fit snugly
5 Apply traction using the pump as described in the next section
