ABOUT TRACTION THERAPY

The TX traction unit provides traction and mobilization of skeletal 
structures and skeletal muscles.

The TX traction unit may be used to relieve peripheral radiation/sciatica 
and pain associated with:

• Protruding discs   

 

• Spinal root impingement

• Bulging discs 

 

 

• Hypomobility

• Herniated discs 

 

 

• Degenerative joint disease

• Degenerative disc disease 

 

• Facet syndrome

• Posterior facet syndrome 

 

• Compressions fracture

• Acute facet problems 

 

• Joint pain

• Radicular pain 

 

 

• Discogenic pain

• Prolapsed discs

The TX traction unit achieves these effects through decompression of 
intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning.

Traction is contraindicated for the following:

• Structural disease secondary to tumor or infection
• Patients with vascular compromise
• Any condition for which movement is contraindicated
• Patients with acute strains, sprains, and inflammation which would be  
  aggravated by traction therapy
• Patients with joint instability of the spine
• Pregnancy
• Osteoporosis
• Hiatus hernia
• Claustrophobia
