Spinal Decompression
Therapy
Used for decades, mechanical traction has remained a rather primitive modality done with the aid of a simple motorized pull unit. Although other medical equipment became digitized, computerized , modernized and user-friendly, mechanical traction's unsophisticated operating system and cumbersome belting configurations remained largely unchanged. Until now!
Research points to the beneficial effects of traction. It can effectively distract joint surfaces, reduce protrusions of nuclear discal material, stretch soft tissue muscles, mobilize joints. These effects provided many patients with pain relief from spinal dysfunction. The stimulation of sensory mechanoreceptors that occurs with the application of traction may also gate pain transmission.

Intended Use
Spinal decompression can be used to provide temporary relief from pain associated with:
- Protruding discs
- Bulging discs
- Degenerative disc
- Posterior joint syndrome
- Hypomobility
- Degenerative joint disease
