Traction Therapy
Traction Therapy is many times an Alternative to Surgery

You don't have to live in debilitating pain. Whether you have lower back pain, a pinched nerve, sciatica, neck pain, or a variety of symptoms related to damaged or degenerative discs, as well as syndromes of the lumbar and cervical spine, Traction Therapy may be for you.

This gentle, non-surgical therapy can provide lower back pain relief, sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art therapy for neck pain relief, and bulging or degenerative disc disease.

This is a gentle traction-based procedure that can create a decrease in pressure of the spine due to distraction and proper positioning to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduates to a peak over a period of several minutes.

Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Each patient responds differently to the treatments, so we customize your treatment plan based on individual response to the therapy.

A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization muscles is a vital part of this treatment. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc, but to also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.

Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence. Clinical results of this type of therapy have been very effective and many patients find long-term relief or effective management of their pain when they complete the entire program of treatments.
