Traction (635 words)
Traction is not easy, but as with most things that are really valuable it is definitely worth the effort.
The purpose of extension/compression traction is to put a sustained force into the spine (focused directly on the spinal ligaments) over a period of time to cause them to gradually stretch towards the normal spinal position.
Once your spine is a near normal as possible, the use of the home traction unit is helpful in maintaining the improved position of your spine, and the flexibility of your muscles in between adjustments and in office traction.
