Why We Use The Intersegmental Traction or Roller Traction

 

Our Intersegmental traction table or roller table helps in gently re-establishing the normal ranges of the body's spine while relaxing muscles and reducing the muscle spasms. Using the intersegmental traction table daily promotes recovery and healing process from a back injury. 

​

​

• The intersegmental traction table gently elongates postural muscles of the spine in a comfortable and uniform manner so that normal joint movement, mobility and circulation are restored. The patient lies supine or face up on the table which has rollers beneath the surface. These rollers slowly move up and down the length of the spine.

• The roller table can be adjustments to the patient's comfort. The height of the rollers can be increased or decreased for greater or lesser pressure.

• A vibrating feature may be activated which gives a massage effect that many patients find relaxing and beneficial. The treatment helps in increasing blood flow and oxygen to discs, ligaments and muscles which enhances balance, mobility and strength. It also helps restore spinal curves and increases circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid.

• Use of the table helps re-establish the spines normal range of motion in a very gentle and effective manner. 

• The intersegmental traction table can effectively treat bodies of all sizes, shapes and weights including children.
