Doctor's answer:
Children's cervical vertebrae are prone to dislocation after external force or sprain, mostly partial dislocation. It is recommended to check at a regular hospital. If it is indeed dislocated, cervical traction or surgical treatment can be performed. Through the balance between traction force and countertraction force, the head and neck are relatively fixed in a physiological curve state, gradually correcting the abnormal cervical curve. However, its efficacy is limited and only suitable for mild cervical spondylosis of the nerve root type. Additionally, traction is prohibited during the acute phase to prevent exacerbation of local inflammation and edema.
