Traction / Decompression

Posted by Total Rehab Solutions on September 11, 2023

Traction AKA Spinal Distraction or Decompression Therapy has been used in Physical Therapy & Chiropractic for many years. Decompression systems involve using a multi section adjustable traction table interfaced with a traction machine. Most packages include belts or harnesses for the thoracic and lumbar spine, positioning bolsters and for those who treat necks a cervical traction attachment (typically a Saunders cervical attachment)is available as well. Systems range from basic to highly sophisticated. More advanced systems included tables that have much more adjustability and traction units that have onboard protocols and virtually limitless adjustability. Chattanooga is one of the premier manufactures in this space and they offer great basic systems with the Galaxy traction tables paired with the TX traction package all the way to the top of the line Triton DTS 6E Electric Decompression table with the Triton DTS Advanced Accessory package (#8250)
