Traction Therapy

Traction Therapy

Traction Therapy is a specialized treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine and other joints by gently stretching and elongating the affected areas. This therapy involves using mechanical devices or manual techniques to apply a controlled, sustained force that creates space between the vertebrae or joints.

How Traction Therapy Works

1. Spinal Decompression

How It Works:

By applying a controlled force to stretch the spine, traction therapy creates space between vertebrae, relieving pressure on compressed discs and nerves.

Effect:

Decompression increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to the discs, promoting faster healing and recovery in injured areas.

By gently stretching the spine, it helps correct misalignments, improving posture and reducing strain on surrounding muscles.

Spinal decompression relieves pressure on compressed discs and nerves, reducing pain and discomfort in the spine.

2. Improved Alignment

How It Works:

Traction helps realign the spine by correcting misalignments caused by injury, poor posture, or degenerative conditions, which can help reduce pain.

Effect:

With improved alignment, joints and muscles function more efficiently, leading to greater flexibility and range of motion.

Proper alignment improves overall posture, reducing the risk of chronic back and neck issues.

Correcting spinal misalignment reduces strain on nerves and muscles, alleviating pain and discomfort.

3. Reduction of Nerve Pressure

How It Works:

Stretching the spine reduces the pressure on pinched nerves, alleviating pain, numbness, and tingling sensations associated with conditions like sciatica.

Effect:

Relieving pressure on pinched nerves reduces pain, especially in conditions like sciatica and herniated discs.

Decreased nerve compression helps restore normal sensation, reducing numbness and tingling.

By reducing nerve pressure, movement becomes easier and less painful, improving overall mobility and function.
