Chiropractic Traction at Pinnacle Chiropractic
At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we specialize in chiropractic traction: a proven technique for relieving pain, decompressing the spine, and improving overall spinal health.
What is Chiropractic Traction?
Chiropractic traction, also known as spinal or vertebral traction, is a therapeutic technique that applies gentle force or tension to stretch muscles, ligaments, and spinal joints. This process creates space between vertebrae, helping to relieve pressure on nerves, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Traction is commonly used to treat conditions such as:
- Compressed nerves
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Skeletal and muscle disorders
- Car accident injuries
- Chronic back pain
- Chronic neck pain
Types of Chiropractic Traction at Pinnacle Chiropractic
At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we offer both manual and mechanical traction techniques, tailoring each treatment to your specific needs.
Manual Traction
- Hands-on approach where the chiropractor gently stretches the spine using controlled pressure
- May involve inversion therapy, where the patient’s own body weight enhances the traction effect
- Effective for mild to moderate spinal misalignments and muscle tension.
Mechanical Traction
- Utilizes specialized traction tables or devices to provide continuous or intermittent spinal decompression.
- Some computer-controlled systems allow for precise adjustments in force and pressure.
- Can incorporate heat, vibration, or massage for enhanced relaxation and healing.
- Home traction units may be recommended for ongoing therapy under professional supervision.
