A compact cervical traction apparatus having a carriage which is slideable over a base, the carriage carrying a head supporting band and the base supporting a foldable leg. The leg supports a weight and an arrangement of pulleys which provides a mechanical advantage. In an upright position, the leg is perpendicular to the base, while in a folded position the leg is parallel to the base. A pad, hinged to an end of the base for folding, anchors the apparatus during use by the shoulder weight of a patient. In a folded configuration the pad, base, carriage and leg, are all in parallel planes, one above the other.
