Therapy information
The recognised spinal traction therapy effects relief to the spine and surrounding tissue. Reducing pressure on the intervertebral foramen (IVF) relieves the intervertebral discs and soothes irritated nerves. Conventional methods are mostly based on traction forces on the vertical plane, which in combination with the strong physical stressing of the patient, may cause psychogenic muscle tension and blood stasis. By contrast, horizontal traction provides patients with a pleasant treatment alternative, permitting both exact metering and pulsed or dynamic intermittent traction relief.
A combination of traction and high frequency therapy can achieve cumulative and potentiating effects.
Selected use cases
Traction therapy is beneficial within a broad range of applications, including, but not limited to:
- Disc herniation with radiculopathy
- Facet joint syndrome
- Radiculopathy
- Disc herniation without radiculopathy
- Radicular syndrome
- Spondylarthrosis
