Lumber and Cervical Traction

Lumber and Cervical Traction

Lumber and cervical traction are two forms of therapy used to treat specific spinal conditions. Lumber traction involves the application of a pulling force to the lower back to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. This technique is commonly used to alleviate pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs and sciatica. On the other hand, cervical traction applies a gentle pulling force to the neck to stretch and decompress the cervical spine. It is often used to treat conditions like cervical radiculopathy and neck pain. These therapies are typically carried out under the guidance of healthcare professionals and may help improve symptoms and promote healing in specific spinal issues.
