Lumber Traction

What is Lumbar Traction?

Lumbar Traction is a therapeutic technique used to relieve lower back pain by gently stretching the lumbar spine. This controlled decompression helps reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves, making it effective for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and lumbar spondylosis. By increasing the space between vertebrae, lumbar traction promotes better circulation, reduces inflammation, and encourages natural healing. It is typically administered using a traction table or mechanical device under the supervision of a trained physiotherapist. Safe and non-invasive, lumbar traction is a drug-free method that helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore spinal alignment.

Conditions Treated with Lumbar Traction

Lumbar traction is beneficial for a variety of lower back and spine-related conditions, including:

  • Lumbar disc herniation or bulging discs

  • Sciatica (pain radiating from the lower back to the legs)

  • Lumbar spondylosis (degenerative disc disease)

  • Chronic lower back pain

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Postural back pain

  • Facet joint dysfunction

A typical session lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to therapy.

Most patients start to experience relief within 5 to 10 sessions. However, the number of sessions may vary based on the severity and duration of the condition.
