Vertical Traction Therapy in Idaho Falls
At Summit Spine and Sport Chiropractic , we offer vertical traction therapy using the ProtecSpine spinal decompression device. This type of floating manipulative therapy (FMT) reduces intervertebral disc pressure by either lifting or suspending the body.
This modality supplies nutrition to the discs and uses continuous compression and decompression within the discs. With FMT, we can provide different types of movement therapy for the low back, hips, legs, and neck.
Who Can Benefit?
This service is ideal for anyone with nonspecific back or neck pain. The therapy gets good results with many conditions, including the following:
- Spondylosis
- Central canal stenosis
- Osteoporosis
- Sciatic pain
- Sacroiliitis
- Lumbago (including with sciatica)
- Neck and shoulder issues
- Numbness and tingling into the hands.
What to Expect
We will place and secure you into the chair and ensure you’re comfortable. Then we will go through a series of progressing levels of decompression until you’re in the proper position for the therapy needed.
You’ll be taken through some general ranges of motion and get some rapid release on the muscles using a massager. When we get you out of the chair, the goal is that you’ve achieved significant pain relief and improvement in motion and function, whether you have a cervical or lumbar issue.
