Underwater spinal traction

Underwater spinal traction (traction therapy) is one of the methods of spine treatment.

The method of treatment has been used in Russia for more than fifty years. During therapy, muscle spasm is overcome, displacement of the vertebrae, deformation of the vertebral column is eliminated. The course consists of 4-6 procedures (in some cases up to 10 procedures) carried out every other day.

  • Lumboishialgia with static-dynamic disorders in the form of limitation of the volume of movements in the spine
  • Scoliosis of I and II degrees
  • Grade I and II kyphoscoliosis
  • Flattening of lumbar lordosis
  • Root compression
  • Compression radiculopathy
  • Initial manifestations of Bekhterev's disease
  • Deforming spondylosis.

A lesser therapeutic effect is observed with hernias of more than 6 mm.

Contraindications
