Mechanical Traction

Treating Spinal Pain with Mechanical Traction

Mechanical traction is the process of applying controlled force along the axis of a joint to improve mobility and decrease pain.

For many causes of spinal pain, traction can be a gentle and extremely effective solution. The treatment can help relieve pain associated with lower back and neck pain, herniated discs, sciatica, and other disc injuries.

After an initial evaluation, Dr. Freeman will determine if traction is the best strategy to treat the root causes of your pain. As part of our holistic approach, he may incorporate traction with other treatment options, including manual adjustments and therapeutic exercise.
