Cervical and Lumbar Traction

About the Treatment

Cervical and lumbar traction therapy is a mechanical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine and compressed nerve roots. It is commonly used for herniated discs, sciatica, neck pain, back pain, spinal soreness, and muscle spasms.

How it works

Using computerized traction tables, gentle, controlled pulling forces are applied to the neck (cervical) or lower back (lumbar). This traction creates micro-spaces between the vertebrae, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and intake nutrients, relieving nerve compression and pain.

Mechanical cervical and lumbar traction therapy works by applying computerized, controlled pulling forces to the spine. This gentle elongation increases the spaces between vertebrae, creating a negative intradiscal pressure (a vacuum effect). This vacuum draws the bulging or herniated disc material back toward its center, taking pressure off compressed nerve roots and relieving symptoms like shooting leg pain (sciatica).

Traction is highly effective for patients suffering from lumbar or cervical disc herniations, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves (radiculopathy), spinal stenosis, chronic muscle spasms, and general spinal soreness. It is a key element of non-surgical spine and disc treatment programs.

No, traction therapy is not painful. The computerized traction table cycles through progressive tension phases, allowing muscles to adapt without guarding or spasming. Most patients describe a feeling of deep relief and decompression in their neck or back, and find the session highly relaxing.
