Pelvic Traction

Pelvic traction is a non-invasive orthopedic physical therapy method that applies a continuous or intermittent pulling force to the lower back and pelvis. It is primarily used to decompress the lumbar spine, relieve compressed nerve roots, and alleviate severe lower back pain.By counteracting the body’s vertical weight, pelvic traction widens the microscopic spaces between the lumbar vertebrae. This reduces pressure on bulging discs and relaxes tight, spasming lower back muscles.
