The present invention relates to a cervical spine device.

In general, the cervical vertebrae consist of seven cervical vertebrae supporting the head from the vertebra to the top of the thoracic vertebra.

The cervical vertebrae are curved slightly to the anterior part of the thoracic vertebrae and are standing or standing, especially when they are sitting on a chair for a long time, and the head load is the most. The cervical vertebra is in the normal position due to wrong posture, lifestyle, Dislocations or deviations may cause compression of the intervertebral cartilage between each cervical vertebra, resulting in pain and bad symptoms that may lead to other parts of the body connected to the nervous system.

To correct this abnormally deformed cervical vertebrae, we have been treated with acupressure, massage, acupuncture, moxibustion and so on at the Korean Oriental Medicine clinic. In the hospital, there are physical therapy, traction, Chiropractic, As a result of observing the patients treated, herbal treatment and spinal adjustment therapy and tuning therapy were mainly performed to soften the hardened muscle of the cervical vertebrae and to correct the transverse cervical vertebrae, and traction therapy was performed on the seven basic cervical vertebra from the thoracic vertebra to the cervical vertebra There is a problem that only the pain is caused by traction in a straight line without taking into consideration the steady state of the bending of the bone, and the dislocation of the cervical vertebrae can not be corrected to the normal position.
