TRIPLANE TRACTION OF THE SPINE
We invite you to take advantage of the only Lower Silesian traction treatment of the lumbar or cervical spine performed on a special 3D traction table designed for this purpose. The traction of the spine is the distance between joint surfaces of neighboring vertebrae. Increased intervertebral space results in reduced pressure on irritated spine structures and re-hydration (rehydration) of intervertebral discs. The analgesic effect achieved during the procedure is recommended in acute painful conditions of the spine, especially in the case of intervertebral disc hernias, exacerbation of degenerative changes in the spine.
Performing the procedure:
The procedure is performed in a lying position on the stomach or back. Thanks to the possibility of correction of the table in many planes, the patient is placed in the position for him as painless as possible during the procedure. Taking into account the medical indications and the clinical condition of the patient, the physiotherapist selects the parameters of traction forces acting on the spine. The average duration of the treatment is in the range of 20 - 40 minutes. The series of 10 tractions used twice a week is able to release pressure and swelling of the root, reducing the dose of painkillers, which can be achieved after the first treatment.
