Method for treating a user's back or neck using a traction system

1. A method for treating a user's back, a user's neck, or combinations thereof, the method comprising the steps of:

a. inserting a traction device into a pouch of a fabric garment, wherein the traction device comprises a traction head; a traction body; and a centralizer disposed within a first hole of the traction head and a second hole of the traction body, and wherein the centralizer connects the traction body with the traction head;

b. disposing the fabric garment over a user;

c. adjusting a position of the traction device within the pouch so that the traction device is disposed proximate a spine of the user;

d. engaging the traction device with a surface; and

e. applying a pressure to the traction device using the user's back, wherein the traction device provides a therapeutic pressure to the user's back, to the user's neck, or to combinations thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surface is a bed.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of using the traction head and the traction body having different indention load deflections.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising using the traction head and the traction body which are both cylindrically shaped and have identical diameters.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising using the traction head with a diameter different from a diameter of the traction body.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of applying the pressure for a predetermined time interval.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined time interval is from five minutes to thirty minutes after awaking from a sleep.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a message portion on the traction device or on the fabric garment.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

a. using a pressure sensor to measure the pressure applied by the user's back;

b. using a time sensor to measure a usage time by the user; and

c. providing an alert using an alarm in communication with the pressure and time sensors, wherein the alarm provides an alert to the user:

i. when the pressure is greater than a preset pressure limit;

ii. when a usage time is greater than a preset time limit; or

iii. combinations thereof.

10. A method for treating a user's back, a user's neck, or combinations thereof, the method comprising the steps of:

a. disposing a traction device within a pouch of a removable fabric chair cover; inserting a traction device into a pouch of a fabric garment wherein the traction device has a traction head and a traction body, and wherein the traction device comprises a centralizer disposed within a first hole of the traction head and a second hole of the traction body, and wherein the centralizer connects the traction body with the traction head;

b. disposing the removable fabric chair cover over a chair;

c. allowing a user to sit on the chair;

d. adjusting a position of the traction device within the pouch so that the traction device is disposed proximate a spine of the user; and

e. applying a pressure to the traction device using the user's back, wherein the traction device provides a therapeutic pressure to the user's back, the user's neck, or combinations thereof.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the step of applying the pressure for a predetermined time interval.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising disposing a message portion on the traction device or on the removable fabric chair cover.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the steps of:

a. using a pressure sensor to measure the pressure applied by the user's back;

b. using a time sensor to measure a usage time by the user; and

c. providing an alert using an alarm in communication with the pressure and time sensors, wherein the alarm provides an alert to the user:

i. when the pressure is greater than a preset pressure limit;

ii. when a usage time is greater than a preset time limit; or

iii. combinations thereof.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the traction head is a shearable traction head and the traction body is a shearable traction body, the method further comprising the steps of:

a. cutting the shearable traction head to a custom size to fit the user;

b. cutting the shearable traction body to a custom size to fit the user;

c. disposing the shearable traction body within the pouch; and

d. applying a pressure to the shearable traction body and the shearable traction head using the user's back, wherein the shearable traction body and the shearable traction head provide a therapeutic pressure to the user's back, the user's neck, or combinations thereof.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the step of using the traction head and the traction body having different indention load deflections.
