Pelvic Traction

Pelvic traction is used to alleviate low back pain, as well as hip and leg pain associated with some lower back disorders. It can also reduce muscle spasms and aid in achieving proper alignment of the lower vertebrae.

To apply this traction, you will wear a pelvic belt that fits snugly around your hips with long straps on both sides that attach to a spreader bar and a rope and pulley system with weights. The amount of weight used and the frequency of use has been determined by your physician. You should not deviate from this prescribed treatment without his/her authorization.
