Leg Traction

Leg traction is a highly specialized orthopedic technique that applies a continuous, controlled pulling force to the lower extremity. It is primarily used to realign fractured bones, reduce painful muscle spasms, and stabilize the lower limb before or after orthopedic surgery.Traction works by counteracting the natural pull of the large thigh and hip muscles. When a bone breaks, these muscles contract forcefully, causing the bone ends to overlap and tear surrounding tissues; traction gently pulls them back into their natural alignment.
