The difference between occipital traction and skull traction
The differences are as follows:

1. Action position: The traction of the pillow belt mainly acts on the jaw bone and cervical vertebra. By adjusting the position of the jaw bone and cervical vertebra, the pressure and pain in the neck and skull region can be relieved. Cranial traction mainly acts on the skull. By exerting force on the skull, intracranial pressure, cervical intervertebral space and spinal fluid circulation can be improved.

2. Usage: Occipital traction is usually used to treat neck and head injuries, such as cervical spondylosis and cervical fracture.

3, weight: the weight of the jaw pillow belt traction generally needs to be guaranteed within 3 to 4kg. If the traction weight is too heavy, complications such as skin pressure sores may occur.
