Traction

Traction therapy is a type of medical treatment that involves the use of gentle pulling or stretching force to relieve pressure on the spine, joints, or other parts of the body. It is often used to treat conditions such as back pain, herniated discs, and sciatica.

Traction therapy can be performed in several ways, including mechanical traction, manual traction, and inversion therapy. Mechanical traction involves the use of a motorized device that pulls on the affected area, while manual traction is performed by a trained therapist who applies a gentle pulling force to the spine or affected joint. Inversion therapy involves hanging upside down to relieve pressure on the spine.
