Spine Traction Therapy for Herniated Disc Relief

Herniated discs and sciatica can cause severe back pain, making daily activities difficult. At Advanced Physio Plus, we offer effective, non-invasive spine traction therapy to alleviate pain and restore mobility. This treatment relieves pressure on the spinal discs and promotes long-term rehabilitation. 

Spine traction therapy, also known as spinal decompression, is a well-established physiotherapy technique used to relieve pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs and sciatica. At Advanced Physio Plus, we use this therapy to help patients restore comfort and function. We incorporate it into comprehensive treatment plans to achieve the best results. 

How Spinal Traction Works 

Spinal traction involves gradually extending the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. Our physiotherapists use sophisticated equipment to apply controlled traction between the vertebrae. This allows herniated discs to retract, which lowers discomfort to the surrounding nerves. This process relieves pain, increases blood flow, and stimulates the delivery of nutrients to spinal tissues, all of which contribute to natural healing. Traction helps patients with sciatica by decompressing pinched nerves and relieving radiating leg pain. The painless procedure lasts about 20-30 minutes, and many patients report feeling better after just a few treatments. 

Treatment Benefits for Herniated Discs and Sciatica 

Spine traction is especially beneficial for treating herniated discs because it reduces bulging discs and relieves pressure on spinal nerves. This provides significant pain relief, especially for lower back pain caused by disc problems. For sciatica, traction reduces inflammation and nerve compression, alleviating symptoms such as leg tingling or numbness. Patients often report increased mobility and reduced pain, enabling them to resume normal activities. This therapy reduces the need for invasive procedures, such as surgery, by providing a safe, non-invasive alternative. 

Integration With Other Therapies 

At Advanced Physio Plus, we enhance the effectiveness of spine traction by combining it with other physiotherapy treatments. Tailored exercise regimens strengthen the core to support the spine, and manual therapies such as massage and joint mobilization relieve further tension. Patients with herniated discs may follow a traction regimen along with strengthening exercises to prevent recurrence. This technique provides immediate relief and promotes long-term spinal health. Many patients experience considerable pain and mobility benefits when traction is used as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy.
