What to Expect
During treatment, your therapist may use manual or mechanical traction to gently stretch the spine. The process is comfortable and relaxing, often described as a light pulling sensation that eases tension and creates space between the vertebrae. Spinal Traction is commonly used for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal degeneration.
