Traction Therapy in Las Cruces
Traction therapy is a safe, comfortable treatment that gently stretches your spine to relieve pressure on nerves, discs, and joints. At Smith Wellness, we incorporate traction therapy into personalized care plans for patients suffering from neck pain, back pain, herniated discs, and other spinal conditions. This non-invasive approach helps create the space your spine needs to heal while reducing pain and improving mobility.
How Traction Therapy Works
During a traction session, you’ll lie comfortably on a specialized traction table while the device applies gentle, controlled stretching to your spine. This mechanical stretching may help reduce pressure within the spinal discs, improve fluid movement to the area, and relieve pressure on compressed nerves.
Relief for Neck and Back Pain
Traction therapy may help address mechanical factors that contribute to spinal pain. By gently separating the vertebrae, it can reduce compression on nerve roots that may be causing radiating pain, numbness, or tingling down your arms or legs. The stretching may also help improve joint mobility and reduce muscle spasms that occur when your body tries to protect an injured area.
Conditions That Benefit from Traction
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Pinched nerves
- Spinal stenosis
- Post-injury spinal stiffness
Integrated Treatment Approach
Traction therapy isn’t offered as a standalone service at Smith Wellness—it’s part of your comprehensive chiropractic care plan. Dr. Smith strategically combines traction with adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and rehabilitation exercises to maximize your results. Traction therapy may be included in your visits when appropriate, and some patients choose to incorporate it regularly into their care.
A Comfortable, Relaxing Experience
Most patients find traction therapy deeply relaxing. The gentle stretching sensation is soothing rather than uncomfortable, and many people notice immediate relief from muscle tension and pain during the session.
