WHAT IS MECHANICAL TRACTION?

• Mechanical Traction is a type of decompression
  therapy performed in a clinical setting under the
  supervision of a licensed physical therapist.
  This type of therapy utilizes a variety of spinal
  unloading, decompression and mechanical devices
  to reduce symptoms associated with conditions
  causing spinal compression and/or Hypomobility.

WHAT CONDITIONS ARE TREATED BY MECHANICAL
TRACTION?

• Conditions that involve compression of the spine
  can have painful and debilitating effects on
  those affected. When the vertebra of the spine
  become compressed due to degenerative condition
  or disease, the soft tissue that forms the spine
  can become malformed, strained and/or torn. This
  can cause pressure or pinched nerve endings.

HOW DOES MECHANICAL TRACTION WORK?

• Mechanical Traction relieves pain inducing
  pressure in the spine through mechanically guided
  spinal expansion. During a typical appointment a
  patient will lay on a specialized inversion
  table. This table looks similar to a massage
  table and is equipped with an array of spinal
  decompression tools and mechanisms to the
  spine. A physical therapist will then fit
  attachments such as ropes, slings, and pulleys to
  the patient as part of an individualized
  treatment program to mechanically relieve
  pressure.
