Traction Machine

Traction Machine Unit

It is used to relieve pain and restore muscle function by mobilizing muscles, ligaments and joints. Physiotherapy Traction machines are clinically proven to be effective in pain treatment, particularly for cervical and lumbar pain. Physiotherapy treatment using a Traction Machine helps in reducing disc pressure, relax muscles, relieve nerve root compression and improve blood flow. Most often, traction uses devices such as weights and pulleys to put tension on a displaced bone or joint, such as a dislocated shoulder. The tension helps put the joint back in position and keep it still. Traction is also used to keep a group of muscles (such as the neck muscles) stretched to reduce muscle spasms. Traction is believed to work by relieving nerve compression, decreasing disc compression, increasing disc hydration, improving intervertebral joint mobility. Spinal traction stretches the spine to take pressure off compressed discs. This straightens the spine and improves the body’s ability to heal itself.
