It does seems to help bring my scalenes and other neck muscles out of bad spasm if done in a slow manner with only light traction.
I think the brand I have is sanders. Medicare paid for it
The cheap device that use a water bag over a door to provide traction are to be avoided according to the PT (Peter Edgelow) that I went to. It's very hard to control the direction of traction in a way that is constructive and does not flare.

What about the inflated ones, where you pretty much put a pillow around your neck secure it then use the inflatable pump to inflate it and takes the weight of your neck and pushes your neck up and shouldrs down.
