Rehabilitation Equipment
Traction Unit
A physical-therapy device that applies controlled traction to the cervical or lumbar spine to increase intervertebral spacing and reduce pressure on nerves.
Core Function Highlights
- Continuous or Intermittent Mechanical TractionA motor or counterweight generates traction that is transferred through ropes and supports such as a cervical harness or pelvic belt. Continuous, intermittent, and progressive modes may be available.
- Conservative Support for Cervical and Lumbar ConditionsIt is commonly used as part of conservative care for conditions such as cervical or lumbar disc herniation and cervical spondylosis. Longitudinal traction is intended to increase intervertebral and foraminal spacing and reduce pressure on nerve roots.
- Multiple Equipment ConfigurationsThe system may be configured as a powered traction table, traction chair, mobile traction system, or traction bench.
