What is Mechanical Traction?

Mechanical traction relies on a motorized device that appies gentle, consistent, and intermittent pulling force with the purpose of separating vertebrae, relieving pressure on discs and nerves.

Common conditions that mechanical traction alleviates includes:

• Degenerative Disc Disease

• Herniations

• Sciatica

• Chronic Neck / Back Pain

This process is often paired with a chiropractic adjustment either before or after it is performed. There is no therapeutic benefit as to when the adjustment is performed, it is up to patient preference. In total, with the adjustment, you appointment can take up to 45 minutes (lower back) or 35 minutes (neck). If you would like to know more about chiropractic adjustments, click the button below.
