Traction Therapy in Mukilteo

Whether you’re struggling with a herniated disc, sciatica, back or neck pain, or another musculoskeletal issue, experience lasting relief and enhanced mobility through the innovative use of traction therapy at Back To Health Chiropractic.

What Is It?

Traction therapy is a specialized treatment similar to decompression therapy. Using a state-of-the-art mechanical table, we apply a gentle pulling force to your spine, creating space between the vertebrae. This process can help alleviate pressure on discs, reduce pain, and improve overall mobility.

What to Expect

During your session, you’ll lie comfortably on our traction table. The table then applies a controlled, gentle pull to either your cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) region, depending on your specific needs.

This pulling motion creates space between spinal joints, reduces pressure on intervertebral discs, alleviates nerve compression, and promotes better spinal alignment.

Who Can Benefit?

Traction therapy can be particularly beneficial for patients experiencing the following:

  • Disc bulges or herniations
  • Chronic neck or lower back pain
  • Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
  • Discomfort from prolonged sitting
  • General spinal compression
