Controlled Traction for Selected Patients
Spinal traction may be considered as an adjunct to conservative care for selected patients. Recommendations depend on your symptoms, history, examination findings, and relevant precautions.
What is Spinal Traction?
Spinal traction uses controlled manual or mechanical force to gently distract selected areas of the spine.
For appropriately screened patients, it may help reduce symptoms, improve comfort, or support mobility. The method used depends on the patient's assessment and treatment plan.
Why Choose Spinal Traction at Snyder Chiropractic Centers?
Dr. Snyder determines whether traction is appropriate after reviewing your history and examination. Treatment may be combined with exercise, stretching, or other suitable conservative care.
Your response is monitored, and treatment is modified or discontinued when appropriate. Traction does not guarantee correction of spinal alignment, disc healing, or permanent relief.
