Effects of Spinal Traction

Effects

Traction helps in:

• Gliding (Movement of bones) of the inter vertebral joints
• Widening of the inter vertebral foramen (space between vertebral joints)
• Straightening of the spinal curves

• Stretching of the spinal muscles
• Pain relief, by releasing and stretching the tight capsule or ligament, or adherent nerve root
• Mobilizing stiff inter-vertebral joints
• Reducing muscle guarding and spasm
