During traction therapy, a controlled distraction force is applied to the spine, creating negative pressure within the disc. This effect draws herniated material back toward the disc center, relieves nerve compression, and encourages hydration and healing of disc tissue.
Spinal traction at Dr. Verg uses mechanical traction equipment and hands-on techniques, allowing precise control of force direction and magnitude. The treatment is very comfortable — many patients feel immediate relief as pressure lifts off the affected nerves.
