  3. 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. • Back Pain • Neck Pain • Arm or Leg Pain • Radiculopathy or Nerve Root Damage • Sciatica • Herniated Disc • Degenerative Disc Disease • Osteoarthritis • Generalized Hypomobility • Spinal Stenosis

  4. 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.
