General information

During this procedure, the distance between the joints and vertebrae increases (the opening between them widens).

There are several ways to perform this methods:

• horizontal – performed in a hammock position or on an inclined surface;
• vertical – performed in the direction from bottom to top or from top to bottom.

Belts with weights are attached to a special chair, which perform the traction.

This procedure allows you to increase the distance between the vertebrae, remove tension between them, eliminate pinched nerves and blood vessels, and stop the inflammatory process in this area. Blood circulation also improves, pain sensations are reduced.

This technique will be more effective when carried out in combination with other therapeutic procedures: different types of massage, health gymnastics under the supervision of an instructor.

Before undergoing this manipulation, a consultation with a neurologist and an X-ray examination are required.

The effect is noticeable after the first session. To achieve maximum and long-lasting effect, it is necessary to undergo a full course of therapy, which includes an average of 15 to 18 sessions.
