Traction

Traction is used to reduce pain related to protruding and herniating discs, degenerative disc disease, facet joint disorders, spinal root impingement, compression fractures and more.

What is Traction Therapy?

         Traction Therapy is a non-surgical traction based treatment outcome for herniated or bulging discs in the neck and lower back. Anyone who has back, neck, arm or leg pain may be helped by traction therapy.

What makes Traction so effective?

     Doctor skill combined with the table and computerized traction head are the keys. Proper assessment, correct positioning and the use of pre-programmed patterns of distraction and relaxation may reduce disc pressure allowing necessary nutrients to enliven and accelerate disc healing.

To reduce inflammation and assist in the healing process, supporting structures are treated with passive therapies such as ice, heat, and muscle stimulation, chiropractic adjustments (as indicated) and/or active rehabilitation in order to strengthen the spinal musculature.
