Traction
A Therapeutic Technique to Relieve Pressure on Compressed Nerves and Spinal Discs
About Traction
Traction therapy involves gently stretching the spine or joints to relive pressure on discs, nerves, or thigh muscles. This can be done manually by a physiotherapist at either location, or using a mechanical device that applies controlled, sustained force (downtown location only). By creating space between joints or vertebrae, traction can help reduce pain, improve alignment, and promote healing.
Who It's For / What to Expect
Traction can be beneficial for those with sciatica, herniated or bulging discs, facet disease, pinched nerves and degenerative disc disease. After a thorough assessment, each treatment is customized to your condition and comfort level, ensuring a safe and effective approach to recovery.
Commonly used to treat:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint dysfunction
- Pinched nerves
- Neck and lower back pain
- Joint stiffness and mobility issues
