How Cervical Traction Works
When it comes to neck pain, many Americans know the struggles that come with it. If neck pain is negatively affecting your life, University Chiropractic has many treatment options to help you while avoiding surgery and prescription drugs. Relief is possible with natural chiropractic treatments, including cervical traction.
This technique relieves pain by expanding the space between the cervical discs. During the procedure, the patient doesn’t experience any discomfort and will feel the spine gently stretching. This movement causes a vacuum effect within the disc, drawing back displaced disc material to help relieve pressure on nerves and replenish the spine with essential nutrients, fluids, and oxygen to help heal the damaged disc. The great thing about this therapy is that there is no recovery time.
So, if you suffer from chronic or acute neck pain, then cervical traction at University Chiropractic may be the best treatment for you. Call our Palo Alto office today to schedule a consultation. You’ll be one step closer to living pain-free.
