Physiotherapy traction is a therapeutic technique used to relieve pressure on the spine and joints. It involves applying a controlled pulling force to stretch soft tissues and separate joint surfaces. Traction is commonly used to treat conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, neck pain, and lower back pain. It can be performed manually by a therapist or mechanically using specialized equipment. By reducing compression on nerves and improving blood circulation, traction helps decrease pain, muscle spasms, and stiffness. This treatment is often combined with exercises, posture correction, and other physiotherapy modalities to enhance recovery and restore mobility safely and effectively.
