Traction & Spinal Decompression

Spinal traction is a therapeutic technique used to apply controlled stretching forces to the spine. This gentle separation of the vertebrae may help reduce pressure on discs, joints, and nerves that contribute to neck or back discomfort.

Cervical traction focuses on the neck and upper spine, while lumbar traction targets the lower back. These techniques are often used in physiotherapy settings and sometimes incorporated into home rehabilitation programs.

Common Conditions Addressed with Spinal Traction

Cervical and lumbar traction devices may be used to support rehabilitation programs for conditions such as:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Degenerative disc conditions
• Nerve compression
• Neck stiffness and tension
• Lower back discomfort
• Spinal joint pressure

Traction helps create space between vertebrae, which may help reduce stress on spinal structures.

Types of Cervical and Lumbar Traction Devices

Within this category you may find several traction devices designed for different applications, including:

• Cervical traction devices for neck decompression
• Lumbar traction devices for lower back support
• Home traction systems used during rehabilitation
• Clinical traction equipment used by physiotherapists

These devices allow controlled traction forces to be applied safely during therapy sessions.

Traction Therapy for Clinics and Home Programs

Spinal traction is commonly used in physiotherapy clinics, chiropractic practices, and rehabilitation centres. Some traction systems are also designed for home use under professional guidance as part of a structured rehabilitation plan.
