Full Function Spinal Traction

Chronic back or neck pain can be debilitating, limiting your mobility and impacting your daily life. But there's hope! At Full Function Remedial Therapies, we offer spinal traction as a safe and effective, non-invasive treatment option to help you find lasting relief.

​

What is Spinal Traction and How Does it Work?

Imagine a gentle, controlled stretch for your spine. That's the essence of spinal traction. We utilise a computer-aided traction table that applies a precise force to gradually decompress your spinal joints. This creates a negative pressure within the discs, achieving several key benefits:

  • Retraction of Bulging or Herniated Discs: Over time, discs in your spine can bulge or herniate, putting pressure on nerves and causing pain. Traction helps draw that disc material back into place, relieving nerve compression.

  • Reduced Pressure on Pinched Nerves: When a disc bulges or herniates, it can pinch nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling. Traction helps alleviate this pressure, leading to pain reduction and improved function.

  • Promotion of Disc Rehydration: Healthy discs are well-hydrated, acting as cushions between your vertebrae. Traction can encourage the influx of fluids into the discs, improving their overall health and function.

 

The Benefits of Spinal Traction

  • Reduced Back and Neck Pain: Experience significant relief from pain, including radiating discomfort to shoulders, legs, or arms.

  • Improved Posture: Poor posture is a major contributor to back pain. Spinal traction can help correct postural imbalances, promoting better spinal alignment and reducing pain.

  • Enhanced Mobility: As pain subsides and your spine decompresses, you'll likely experience increased flexibility and a greater range of motion.

  • Non-invasive Treatment: Unlike surgery, spinal traction offers a safe and comfortable alternative for managing back and neck pain.

 

Is Spinal Traction Right for You?

While many people experience back pain at some point, chronic or radiating pain could indicate a disc issue. Spinal traction boasts a proven track record of success, with research showing a 71% to 89% success rate.

​

Personalised Treatment Plans

At Full Function Remedial Therapies, we believe in a personalised approach. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs and condition. A typical program involves 12-20 sessions over 4-6 weeks, though this may vary depending on your individual case.  The good news? Many patients experience pain relief within the first few sessions!

​

What to Expect During Your Spinal Traction Treatment

You'll be fully clothed and comfortably positioned on a motorised table during your session. A safe and secure harness will be used to gently apply the traction force. The process is painless and relaxing.
