Spinal Traction Therapy

About Spinal Traction Therapy

Spinal traction is used as a treatment option to help with spinal conditions involving nerve root compression, acute muscular spasm and osteoarthritic discogenic conditions

This gentle, controlled stretching technique helps to reduce pressure within the intervertebral discs, relaxes tense muscles, relieve compression and irritation of the nerve roots and improves circulation.

By easing mechanical compression, it may help relieve irritation of nearby nerve roots and reduce associated symptoms such as pain, stiffness, or radiating discomfort.
