Discover relief and renewed mobility with personalized, non-invasive spinal traction in Seymour, IN.
Persistent back pain, limited mobility, and discomfort from spinal issues can make everyday life difficult. At Progressive Physical Therapy, spinal traction therapy provides a controlled, non-invasive option to help relieve pressure on spinal structures and support healthier movement.
Your therapist begins with an individualized assessment and tailors treatment to your specific needs. Traction may be performed with specialized mechanical devices or manually, using carefully controlled forces directed to the areas that need attention.
Treatment is designed to decompress and support the spine while helping you move with greater comfort and confidence.
Traction targets specific spinal segments to help alleviate pressure on compressed nerves, discs, and surrounding structures.
A goal of treatment is to help pain or discomfort move away from the extremities toward the spine, indicating improved alignment and decompression.
Creating negative pressure within spinal discs can promote diffusion of nutrients and fluids into the disc space while reducing stiffness and supporting flexibility.
Spinal traction may be used as part of a customized physical therapy plan for conditions associated with disc herniation, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression.
Reducing pressure on spinal structures can help alleviate pain and make daily activities more comfortable.
Decompression may reduce symptoms related to nerve pressure, including numbness, tingling, and weakness.
Your treatment is adjusted for your condition and comfort, without surgery, medication, or invasive procedures.
Your physical therapy sessions may include an assessment of your condition, techniques to improve mobility and flexibility, individualized exercise, and education about posture, body mechanics, and injury prevention. Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on your condition and the techniques used.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your spine and does not restrict movement. Your comfort is a priority: tell your therapist if you feel uncomfortable at any point so the traction force or treatment plan can be adjusted.
We also provide guidance on self-care, proper body mechanics, and strategies that support long-term spinal health.
Spinal traction can be combined with other evidence-based physical therapy approaches as appropriate for your goals.
Hands-on treatment can help address painful musculoskeletal injuries, postural dysfunction, and mobility restrictions.
Individualized exercise helps build strength, restore movement, and support your return to daily activities.
Education about posture, positioning, and body mechanics can help protect your spine beyond the clinic.
