What is Traction?
What is Traction?
Traction therapy is a manual procedure used to relieve pain by reducing pressure in spinal vertebrae. It is performed by applying gentle pressure to the affected spinal area which reduces the pressure on the discs between vertebrae.
What is Spine Traction?
Spinal traction is a form of therapy that is used to treat pressure on the spine. It is a non-surgical procedure that is widely used for the treatment of spine and neck pain.Â
There are two different types of spinal traction:
- Manual therapy involves an experienced therapist who applies controlled pressure by hand on the affected joint to loosen tight muscles. It is a safe and less time-consuming method.
- Mechanical Therapy involves mechanical devices to stretch muscles or spinal vertebrae while you are lying on the traction table. It is a pain-free and safe method.
What does Spinal Traction do?
In spinal traction, the spine is gently stretched and relaxed in a controlled manner. This takes off the pressure from the disc, reduces muscle stiffness, and helps straighten and realign the spine. This also enhances the healing process and stimulates the penetration of restorative nutrients into the disc.

How can you prepare for a Spinal Traction Session?
Before starting spinal traction you have to follow a few steps to make your session effective and easy.
- Consult an experienced therapist who can asses your current condition and will recommend if traction therapy is right for you.Â
- Provide your therapist with your detailed medical history and any previous injuries or surgeries you might have.
- Wear comfortable clothes so that your therapist can easily access the area for traction.
- Keep yourself hydrated before your session. Hydration helps your joints move easily.
- Arrive early on appointment day so you don’t waste your session time if any paperwork is required.
Neck and Lumbar Traction
Neck traction and lumbar traction are specific methods designed to manage pain in the neck or lower back regions of the spine.Â
- Neck Traction: This technique is specifically used to treat issues related to the cervical spine. Traction on the neck involves a gentle force on the neck to stretch vertebrae and soft tissues. This decompresses the nerves, creates spaces between the spinal discs, and improves blood circulation. It treats conditions like pinched nerves, herniated discs, and muscle strains.
- Lumbar traction: Lumbar traction targets your lower back. A controlled stretching force is applied to the spine to pull the vertebrae and discs to loosen tight muscles. It helps to release nerve root impingement and reduces pain. It treats conditions like spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. You can also use a lumbar traction device which can be easily used at home. But always consult your therapist before starting any spinal traction treatment at home.
