Neck pain is not a one size fits all issue. It has dozens of different causes, as well as dozens of different treatments. When the pain becomes moderate to severe, many people are prescribed narcotic pain relievers. These can be effective for the majority of people, but at the same time, they can carry with them great risks and adverse effects.
Neck traction is another increasingly popular choice and it is safe and effective. Knowing the differences between these can help you make the best choice to alleviate your neck pain.
Narcotic Pain Relievers For Neck Pain Relief Are Effective, But...
Narcotic pain relievers can be prescribed for acute neck pain that is moderate to severe. In less common cases, this type of drug may be prescribed for chronic pain. These types of drugs work upon specific spinal cord and brain receptors to reduce pain, as well as your emotional response to it.
Most people do find these drugs effective, but in many cases the side effects and addiction potential can outweigh the benefits.
Many Risk Factors With Narcotic Pain Relievers One of the biggest concerns with this type of drug is the addiction potential. Narcotic are controlled substances derived from opiates, making the addiction potential high. When you take these very short term and exactly as prescribed help to reduce the risk.
There is also the risk of overdose with these drugs. When taking these, one must be severely careful to only take it exactly as prescribed to avoid overdose.
Side effects are another major concern for many people taking narcotic pain relievers. Some of the most common side effects include: 1. Drowsiness, 2. Constipation, 3. Nausea and vomiting, 4. Feeling lightheaded, faint or dizzy.
These generally resolve after a short period of time, though, they can be quite uncomfortable.
Some of the more common side effects that require emergency medical attention include difficulty breathing, confusion, seizures, severe weakness or drowsiness, increased sweating and changes in your heartbeat. This is just a short list.
Narcotic pain relievers also have the potential to interact with other medications, natural and alternative remedies and medical conditions.
These drugs can certainly help to alleviate neck pain, but they will not help to promote healing. They simply mask the pain so that you can attempt to function normally.

One of the biggest benefits of neck traction is that it is natural. You do not have to take any drugs or worry about side effects.
There are no restrictions after you do traction. Narcotic pain relievers have a high potential for side effects, especially those that are most common. Narcotic pain relievers can also restrict what you can do. For example, if you take them and feel drowsy, you must avoid potentially hazardous activities, such as driving.

With traction, you simply need to set aside two 15-minute sessions per day. These can be done whenever you want with a neck stretcher. Also unlike narcotics, you can do neck traction with ChiSoft neck stretcher a little more often if you need to. Taking an extra pill or two can result in severe side effects, or even overdose. There are no negative consequences to adding an extra one or two traction sessions.
Neck traction is effective and safe in alleviating neck pain and stiffness. Most people notice pain relief within the first few minutes of treatment. This also wins over drugs because these often take at least 20 or 30 minutes to be digested and start working.
How Does ChiSoft® Neck Stretcher Helps Relieve Neck Pain? Neck traction not only works to relieve pain and stiffness in your neck, but it also helps to promote healing. When you are using ChiSoft neck stretcher, your neck and the surrounding muscles are being gently stretched. This allows anything that is being pinched – such as a nerve – to become free.
If your issue is a herniated disc, this stretching can help to give the disc enough room to move back into place and heal. Doing traction with ChiSoft neck stretcher regularly can help to heal issues, such as a pinched nerve or herniated disc, over time.
