Spinal Traction Therapy: Relief for Back Pain in Arlington
Spinal traction is a non-invasive, gentle technique used to decompress the spine by carefully stretching and separating the vertebrae. This creates space between the discs and joints of the spine, relieving pressure on compressed nerves, reducing pain, and improving mobility.
At Arlington PT, spinal traction is an effective option for patients dealing with lower back pain, disc herniations, sciatica, and other conditions caused by compression in the lumbar spine.

Understanding How Spinal Traction Works for Pain Relief
During a spinal traction session, the patient lies comfortably on a specialized table while a gentle mechanical force is applied to the lumbar spine. The traction creates a decompression effect that draws bulging or herniated disc material away from nearby nerves, reduces joint pressure, and promotes the flow of nutrients into the disc space to support healing.
