Mechanical Traction Therapy

Mechanical traction is a gentle, non-invasive treatment used to relieve pain and improve mobility in the spine and joints. This therapy works by using a specialized machine to apply a controlled pulling force to stretch and decompress specific areas of the body, most commonly the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine). 

Why do we use Mechanical Traction?

Mechanical Traction works by gently separating the vertebrae, which can: 

  • Reduce pressure on compressed nerves 
  • Improve posture 
  • Promote healing of injured tissues 
  • Help with conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease 

The treatment is typically painless, and many patients find it relaxing. It’s often used in combination with other therapies, such as physical therapy or chiropractic care, for the best results. If you’re dealing with chronic back or neck pain, ask us if mechanical traction could be part of your personalized treatment plan.
