What Is It?
Mechanical Traction is a process that uses a special table to gently stretch and relax your spine. This controlled pulling action helps to open up joint spaces between spinal discs, increase blood flow to affected areas, enhance nutrient absorption in spinal discs, and reduce pressure on nerves.
Your 10-Minute Transformation
During your 10-minute session, you’ll feel a series of gentle pulls and releases. Dr. Brad explains, “It’s going to feel like a big stretch for about 40 seconds, followed by 20 seconds of relaxation. This cycle repeats throughout the session.”
Many patients report immediate relief, while others notice improvements shortly after their session. Some temporary soreness, similar to post-workout muscle fatigue, is normal and typically subsides within a few minutes.
A Range of Benefits
This therapy offers numerous benefits, including improved joint motion, enhanced circulation, muscle relaxation, reduced spasms, decreased swelling, better disc hydration, and passive exercise for spinal muscles. It also complements other therapies, promoting faster healing and recovery.
Chiropractic + Traction
Based on your individual situation, Dr. Brad will often combine this therapy with chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy exercises, and other advanced modalities for optimal results. He typically recommends traction after your adjustment to maximize its benefits.
