Gentle Decompression for Lasting Relief
At Equilibrium Clinics, we offer Spinal Traction Therapy using a specialized traction table to safely
and effectively decompress the spine. This non-invasive technique is part of our physiotherapy
services and is especially helpful for those experiencing back, neck, or nerve pain.
What is Spinal Traction?
Spinal traction is a form of decompression therapy that gently stretches the spine. This movement
relieves pressure on the discs and nerves, improves spinal alignment, and supports the natural
healing process. Its a science-backed way to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore balance to
your body.
How Does It Work?
Using our advanced traction table, your physiotherapist applies a controlled, gentle pull to your
spine. This can be done manually or mechanically, depending on your needs. The goal is to:
- Reduce pressure on compressed nerves
- Improve circulation and nutrient flow to spinal structures
- Ease pain caused by disc bulges, sciatica, and degenerative conditions
Each treatment is tailored to your body and comfort level, and sessions usually last 1530 minutes.
What Conditions Can It Help?
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
- Pinched nerves
- Spinal stenosis
- Chronic neck or back pain
Your physiotherapist will determine if traction is right for you during your assessment.
What to Expect
