Mechanical Traction Therapy for Spinal Relief

Mechanical traction is a chiropractic therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine and promote better alignment. It involves the use of a specialized table or device that gently stretches the spine in a controlled and precise manner. This method may be helpful for patients experiencing back pain, neck pain, sciatica, or disc-related issues.

The purpose of mechanical traction is to create space between the vertebrae, which can help reduce compression on nerves, improve spinal mobility, and enhance circulation to the affected area. By easing pressure on the spinal discs, this therapy may also support the rehydration of disc tissue and contribute to natural healing.

Sessions are typically brief and painless. Some patients experience immediate relief, while others notice gradual improvement with repeated treatments. Mechanical traction is often part of a broader care plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, exercise therapy, and other modalities.
