What is Traction Therapy?

Traction therapy involves the application of a pulling force to the spine or joints, with the goal of relieving pressure, reducing pain, and promoting healing. This technique can be applied manually by our skilled therapists or with the use of specialized mechanical equipment.

How Does Traction Therapy Work?

During traction therapy, a controlled force is applied to stretch the affected area, which helps to:

• Reduce Nerve Compression: By decompressing the spinal discs and joints, traction therapy can alleviate pressure on nerves, which may help reduce pain and improve function.
• Enhance Spinal Alignment: The gentle stretching can help realign misaligned vertebrae and improve overall spinal posture.
• Increase Mobility: By relieving pressure and reducing muscle tension, traction therapy can help improve range of motion and flexibility.
• Promote Healing: The increased space and reduced pressure can enhance blood flow to the affected area, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Benefits of Traction Therapy

Traction therapy offers a range of benefits, including:

• Pain Relief: Helps alleviate discomfort associated with conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.
• Improved Function: Enhances mobility and flexibility, making it easier to perform daily activities.
• Reduced Muscle Tension: Helps to relax tight muscles and reduce spasms.
• Non-Surgical Option: Provides a conservative treatment option for individuals seeking relief from spinal or joint issues without the need for invasive procedures.
