Doctor-Invented,
Patient-Approved
Dr. Jeff Fisher, after suffering an acute spine-related sports injury, realized he needed a convenient, effective cervical traction device he could use at home. So, he got to work inventing what is now the Fisher Traction Neck Traction Device. Dr. Fisher believes in accessible, simple, and effective pain relief, and his devices are built to give patients all that and more from the comfort of their homes.

The Fisher Traction Story
Invented by Dr. Jeff Fisher, a chiropractor with over thirty years of experience, the original Fisher Traction device was intended to provide easy, accessible traction relief that patients could take with them on the go. Today, Fisher Traction produces both neck and spinal traction devices according to that same philosophy.
The Fisher Traction Difference
Fisher Traction devices are easy for both patients and professionals to set up and use almost anywhere. Fisher devices are small enough to fit in one hand and light enough for effortless transport, while still providing all the benefits of bulkier, more expensive traction products and tables.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Fisher Traction for? What kind of issues can it help solve?
A: Fisher Traction can be used by anyone. Using the device (without pain or discomfort) helps maintain a healthy spine which can prevent possible degeneration and shrinking of the spine in the future. Those with herniated discs, pinched nerves, sedentary lifestyle, muscle tightness and issues with posture, can all benefit from the pain-relieving and aligning abilities of the Fisher Traction devices.
Q: How does Fisher Traction work?
A: Fisher Traction provides decompression of the spine using traction (the pulling force). Every Fisher Traction device comes equipped with the patented negative g-force technology bungee, allowing the neck and back to be stretched safely, the Release Strap, allowing for successful decompression, and a comfortable harness for both the back and the neck. The intermittent pulling of the release strap, allows the discs to absorb the spinal fluids that entered during the stretching phase, resulting in long term decompression.
Q: How does Fisher Traction compare to other traction devices?
A: Fisher Traction uses traction in order to restore the back and neck's natural curvature of the spine. Other traction devices pull the spine straight, or pull the head forward, causing a reversal of the natural curve. While using Fisher Traction, the device pulls at a 30-degree angle, which is optimal for the strongest and safest pull, while supporting the neck's natural curvature during traction. Other traction devices on the market pull at a harmful 50 degrees, pushing the head forward and making that device potentially dangerous and harmful to the user.
Q: What is the difference between traction and decompression?
A: Traction is any pull-force applied to the body attempting to stretch or separate pinched or compressed areas. Traction is typically applied in a fixed force or a gradual increase in force followed by a gradual decrease in force. Decompression is the desired outcome. It is accomplished through traction applied by varying degrees of a pull-force over time followed by a short resting period to allow the rehydration of the discs with fluid.
Q: Why is traction beneficial?
A: The benefits of spinal traction are numerous including pain relief, proper spinal alignment, posture, and decompressed joints. Spinal traction stretches and separates the muscles and bones in the back and neck to combat the effects of gravity.
