Traction therapy is a type of physical therapy that involves the use of a mechanical device to apply a pulling force to the spine or other affected area. This therapy is often used to help manage chronic pain, improve mobility, and correct spinal alignment.

During a traction therapy treatment, the therapist will position the individual on a table or other specialized device, and will attach the traction device to the affected area. The therapist will then adjust the amount of force applied by the traction device, depending on the individual’s needs and tolerances.
