What is traction?

At Get Better Physical Therapy, we prioritize a multifaceted approach to healing, incorporating various treatment techniques including traction. Traction is a therapeutic method used to stretch and mobilize specific parts of the body, typically the spine. By applying a gentle yet sustained force, traction helps in separating the vertebrae, subsequently relieving pressure on nerve roots and alleviating discomfort associated with compressed joints. This therapy is especially beneficial for patients experiencing conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, and degenerative disc disease, aiming to restore alignment and promote optimal functionality.

How traction can help you Get Better!

Integrating traction therapy into your personalized treatment plan at Get Better Physical Therapy can significantly enhance your path to recovery. By alleviating spinal compression, traction aids in reducing pain, promoting proper alignment, and improving mobility, thereby contributing to better overall spinal health. The relief from pressure allows your spine to align naturally, enabling improved movement and reducing the likelihood of further injury. Our team of skilled therapists is proficient in administering traction therapy tailored to your individual needs, ensuring a comfortable and effective experience. Step into a world where every therapy session at Get Better Physical Therapy is a stride towards pain relief, improved mobility, and a healthier, more active lifestyle!
