How Traction Therapy Works

Traction therapy aids in stretching and relieving pressure in your spine from your neck to your lower back. Traction therapy lightly stretches the back to release the pressure created by compressed spinal discs. As the spine is softly stretched, the spinal discs create a suction pattern that allows fluids and minerals to reenter the disc areas. This allows the body to improve its ability to heal itself. Individuals with spinal conditions experience significant benefits from traction therapy since traction is focused on releasing the pressure that causes pain in the spine.
