How Can Traction Improve Posture?
As the only known conservative method used to restore normal curves to the spine, traction is a necessary and important part of your chiropractic care. It is simply a sustained force applied to the spine in a specific direction for the purpose of restoring normal spinal position, similar to orthodonture.
These traction forces are necessary to reduce abnormal spinal curvatures and correct abnormal postures, and will provide increased stability to damaged spines. To ensure proper application, safety and effective care, spinal traction should only be applied by a practitioner certified in CBP® or Clinical Biomechanics of Posture®.
