Traction-Massage
In chiropractic traction-massage, the patient sits comfortably in a relaxing traction-massage chair. A system of rollers then moves up and down the spine, gently stretching the spinal joints and massaging the muscles of the back. Traction-massage is performed either before or after an adjustment to relax the spine, making the adjustment easier to perform or to relax the patient to experience a more comfortable, and more beneficial adjustment.Many chiropractors also use more traditional traction in which traction devices are applied to elongate areas of the spine. This treatment helps separate the vertebrae resulting in disc decompression, reduced nerve root pressure, and decreased pain.
