CERVICAL / LUMBER TRACTION
Request Appointment
Are you experiencing symptoms that may benefit from cervical traction/ Lumber traction?
Both cervical traction and lumbar traction are effective techniques, albeit with distinct applications. Cervical traction involves applying gentle force to stretch or pull the head away from the neck, while lumbar traction gently gaps the pelvis from the lower back. These methods manipulate the spine to provide relief.
We're pleased to provide both cervical and lumbar tractions. If you think cervical traction could benefit you, don't hesitate to reach out.
We accept mostly all insurance and offer same-day scheduling if required. Call

What is cervical traction?
Cervical traction is a therapeutic technique used to relieve pressure on the cervical spine (neck) by gently stretching or pulling the head away from the neck. This method aims to create space between the vertebrae, which can help decompress spinal structures, reduce nerve compression, and improve blood flow to the affected area. Cervical traction is commonly used to alleviate symptoms such as neck pain, radiating arm pain, numbness, and tingling caused by conditions like cervical disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, cervical stenosis, or muscle tightness. It can be administered manually by a physical therapist or healthcare provider using their hands or mechanically using traction devices such as over-the-door traction, pneumatic traction, or traction tables. Cervical traction should be performed under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
