Cervical & Lumbar Traction Therapy

If you’re experiencing pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates from your neck or lower back, it could be due to pressure on your spinal nerves. Spinal traction is a safe, non-invasive therapy that uses controlled mechanical force to gently stretch the spine.

This process creates space between the vertebrae, which can help retract herniated or bulging discs, relieve pressure on pinched nerves, and allow vital nutrients and oxygen to flow back into the spinal discs for healing.

How Traction Therapy Provides Relief

Traction works by addressing the root cause of your pain—spinal compression.

Creates Space: Gently separates the vertebrae, reducing pressure on discs and nerves.
Promotes Healing: Negative pressure within the disc can help retract bulging material and improve circulation of healing nutrients.
Relieves Nerve Pressure: By opening up the spinal canals, traction directly alleviates the compression on pinched nerves that causes radiating pain.
Restores Mobility: Reduces stiffness and improves the range of motion in your neck or back.

Our Spinal Traction Services

We offer two specialized forms of traction to target your specific area of pain.

1. Cervical Traction: For Neck Pain & Related Symptoms
This treatment gently stretches your cervical spine (neck) to address conditions like:

Cervical Herniated Disc
Pinched Nerves (Cervical Radiculopathy)
Neck Arthritis & Degenerative Disc Disease
Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the shoulders, arms, or hands

2. Lumbar Traction: For Lower Back & Leg Pain
This treatment targets your lumbar spine (lower back) to provide relief for:

Lumbar Herniated or Bulging Discs
Sciatica and Leg Pain
Spinal Stenosis (Narrowing of the Spinal Canal)
Facet Joint Syndrome
General lower back pain and stiffness

Our Comprehensive Traction Therapy Process

At Amarantine Clinic, we ensure your treatment is safe, comfortable, and tailored to your unique needs.

Step 1: In-Depth Spinal Assessment
Our professionals will conduct a thorough examination, which may include assessing your posture, range of motion, muscle strength, and reflexes to pinpoint the source of your pain and determine if traction is right for you.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan
We will customize the traction therapy based on your condition—setting the precise amount of force, angle of pull, and duration for maximum effectiveness and comfort.
Step 3: Guided Traction Session
You will relax on a specialized traction table as the machine applies a gentle, rhythmic pulling force to your spine. The process is pain-free and often provides a sense of relief and release.
Step 4: Integrated Rehabilitation
Traction is most effective as part of a complete plan. We often combine it with other therapies like EMS to relax tight muscles or TENS for immediate pain relief, followed by prescribed exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and prevent future issues.
