Cervical traction is not the proper treatment for this
Next Steps
Instead have a hot pack in the area of pain for about ten to fifteen minutes and after that perform some neck stretching and retraction exercises with chin tucks
Health Tips
Also, don't use too thick or thin pillow
Take a towel and roll it then place the roll at the edge of your pillow such that your neck rests on the roll and head on the pillow
This should help...
