Traction can be done by hand or machine. Traction is used on neck and backs, hips
and peripheral joints such as shoulders, wrists fingers and toes.
Traction is used to release trapped or compressed spinal nerves in the neck and back and is done mechanically.
Manual traction can be done to stretch frozen shoulders, stiff small joints on wrists,
hands and feet. Traction helps to improve movement, decompresses and so
reduces pain and restores function. |
