Traction therapy involves applying a pulling force to the spine, affecting the spinal joints and stretching the surrounding tissues.
Benefits of Traction Therapy
- Stretches Muscles to Reduce Spasms: Relieves muscle tightness by gently stretching the muscles around the spine.
- Reduces Pressure on Spinal Joints: Alleviates pressure on the joints of the cervical or lumbar spine.
- Relieves Spinal Nerve Compression: By creating more space between the vertebrae, it reduces pressure on the spinal nerves.
- Decreases Pressure on Intervertebral Discs: Expanding the space between vertebrae helps reduce the protrusion of spinal discs.
