TREATMENT WITH TRACTION TABLES
In modern medicine, spinal traction has been used as a treatment option to relieve back pain caused by herniated, bulging, or protruding discs associated with various injuries and spinal pathologies. Stretching the spine helps reduce pressure on the intervertebral disc, relieves compression and irritation of the nerve roots, and improves sagittal spinal alignment.
