A medical group from Russia are receiving Traction physiotherapy in our medical center.
Traction physiotherapy refers to a therapeutic approach to relieving compressive forces within a joint. Fundamentally, what we do is to provide a safe, distracting force to a joint, providing a lot of pain relief and soft tissue stretch to joints such as the back and neck, where there is compression force on them which may cause pain, nerve problems and muscle aches. This therapy is either done manually by our physiotherapists, or the other is done via mechanical decompression support system. They serve difference needs whilst achieving similar purposes: for the relief of compressive forces within joints or soft tissues.
Manual Approach is done by using a gentle stretching, distracting force often applied as treatment at the neck, the back or a joint, done manually by our therapists. It relieves compressive forces on joints and soft tissues in the particular region. It is very gentle, and is very sensitive approach.
Computerized Decompression Traction is done using a machine, calibrated by our physiotherapists according to your neck or back's need. It is mainly used for people with a specific diagnosis, and for people with very severe conditions of the discs within the neck and back. We will prescribe only and whenever deemed appropriate for our patients.
