Traction

Posted in: Management    Keywords:

Traction is a term for treatments that involve pulling on the spine with weights, motors or gravity to try to temporarily separate the vertebrae. Traction machines are usually used by doctors. Research shows that traction is safe but the effects on low back pain are very short-lived. Other available treatments like medication, exercise, and spinal manipulation therapy are usually better.
