Intersegmental Traction

The Intersegmental Traction table is very relaxing and almost feels like a deep massage, but it actually produces several very important effects in the healing of the spine. Intersegmental traction stretches the spinal joints, reduces articular and periarticular adhesions, and is a wonderful supplement to manual adjustments. It also increases circulation to the discs by expanding and contracting disc tissues, and this improves disc nutrition and healing.

In spinal injuries or mechanical problems of the spine, the articulations or joints lose their mobility. Traction stretches the joints which opens the facet joint articulation and reduces pressure of the spinal nerves.

As the spine heals, it must heal mobile and strong to assure that there will be maximum recovery in strength, as well as flexibility of the spine.
