Lumbar, Cervical & Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression or traction is utilized to treat a variety of mostly chronic lower back and neck disorders. The decompression/traction unit is designed to create a traction force along the long axis of the spine resulting in decompression of certain pre-determined levels of the spine.

Decompression/traction may be used to treat the following:

• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Sciatica or other nerve entrapments
• Disc herniation
• Disc protrusion
• Degenerative disc disease
• Osteoarthritis of the spine
• Spinal stenosis
• Decreased range of motion in the neck or low back
• Pain, numbness, tingling, pins and needles in the arms or legs

On your initial visit your physiotherapist will thoroughly assess you and determine whether spinal decompression / traction is suitable for you.

Along with a specific spinal assessment your physiotherapist will also assess your core and other areas that may be relevant to your symptoms.

If spinal decompression / traction is deemed appropriate, your treatment will also include education, core and postural exercises as well as home exercises.

Should you have any questions regarding spinal decompression or traction please contact us at the clinic and a physiotherapist will be happy to answer any questions.
