Intersegmental Traction

It works by gently releasing and relaxing the muscles parallel to the spine (Paraspinal muscles), thus reducing muscle spasms and fascial adhesions and improving the range of motion. The main goal of this therapy is to speed up healing from certain types of back injuries by helping the intervertebral disc to receive nutrients from systemic circulation upon spinal joint motion, helping tremendously after a car accident (if there is no vertebral fracture), poor posture or back muscles spasms. Ask our doctor if you qualify for this treatment.
