Traction Therapy

Questions

• What is Traction Therapy?

  One type of decompression treatment called traction therapy is used to relieve pressure on the joints and spine. In order to reduce pain, enhance alignment, and accelerate the recovery of conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, or joint dysfunction, it entails gently extending the spine or certain joints. Depending on what each person wants, this can be done automatically or manually.

  Depending on the patient's comfort level and diagnosis, Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre employs both manual and mechanical traction treatments.

• How does Traction Therapy work?

  The way traction treatment operates is by applying a force that separates the damaged joint or spinal segment. Increased blood flow, decreased inflammation, and pain alleviation are made possible by this separation, which lessens the strain on the discs, nerves, and joints. Mobility is also improved and protraction or realignment of protruding discs is encouraged.

  Before recommending any traction-based treatment for our customers, we at Elite perform a comprehensive evaluation of the spine and joint alignment.

• What conditions can benefit from Traction Therapy?

  Patients who benefit most from traction treatment include those with:

  1. Bulging or herniated discs

• Is Traction Therapy painful?

  No, receiving traction therapy shouldn't hurt. The majority of patients report feeling a little pulling or stretching.
