Abstract:
A sling of a portable traction device cradles a user's head and includes a pair of shock cords attached at opposite ends of the sling. The ends of the shock cords opposite shock cords are anchored is anchored to a structure, such as a closed door at the hinged side of the door, between the door and door frame, using an anchor, at a height, to generate a tension vector at an acute angle relative to the floor. The tension applies cervical traction.

Claim (Index 11):
A portable traction device for providing cervical traction, the portable traction device comprising:\n a sling comprising flexible material and having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a superior edge, and an inferior edge, the sling being elongated and sized to cradle and engage an occipital bone portion of a user's head via at least a frictional portion of the sling disposed between the superior edge and the inferior edge of the sling when the first side extends to a first side of the user's head and the second side extends to a second side of the user's head; a pair of side attachments comprising a first side attachment extending from the first side of the sling and a second side attachment extending from the second side of the sling; flexible elastic tethers comprising first ends and second ends, the first ends being associated with the pair of side attachments; and an anchor operable for selective attachment to an anchoring object at a height above a floor while the portable traction device is in use, the second ends of the flexible elastic tethers being associated with the anchor, wherein the flexible elastic tethers are strained and at an acute angle relative to the floor while the portable traction device is in use, the strained flexible elastic tethers producing a tensile force in a direction of the acute angle.
