Spinal Traction Therapy Dhaka | Disc Herniation & Nerve Pain Relief - AdvanCell

Chronic neck or back pain can cast a long shadow over your life, making everyday movements a source of constant discomfort. When this pain stems from issues like disc herniations, nerve compression, or degenerative changes in your spine, it can feel debilitating, limiting your ability to sit, stand, walk, or even sleep peacefully. The search for effective, non-surgical solutions often leads many to explore advanced physical therapies.

At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we offer Spinal Traction Therapy, a proven and gentle approach designed to alleviate pressure on your spinal discs and nerves. Administered under the careful guidance of our expert physiotherapists, this therapy provides targeted relief, promotes natural healing, and helps you regain the comfort and mobility you deserve.

What is Spinal Traction Therapy and How Does It Work?

Spinal Traction Therapy is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a controlled, gentle pulling force to a segment of the spine. This force creates a negative pressure within the intervertebral discs and helps to separate the vertebrae, relieving compression on nerves and discs.

The Mechanism of Relief: Traction works on several key principles to alleviate spinal pain:

• Disc Decompression: The pulling force creates a vacuum effect within the disc, which can help to gently "pull back" a bulging or herniated disc, reducing pressure on nearby nerves. This negative pressure also promotes the flow of nutrients into the disc, aiding in its hydration and healing.

• Nerve Root Decompression: By increasing the space between vertebrae, traction reduces direct pressure on compressed nerve roots, alleviating symptoms like sciatica, numbness, or tingling.

• Muscle Relaxation: The sustained stretch can help to relax tense spinal muscles and reduce painful spasms.

• Joint Mobilization: Gentle separation of spinal joints can improve their mobility and reduce stiffness.

• Improved Blood Flow: Decompression can enhance circulation to spinal structures, supporting the healing process.

Types of Traction at AdvanCell: We primarily utilize Mechanical Traction, which employs a specialized device to apply controlled and consistent pulling forces. This allows for precise adjustments of force, duration, and angles, tailoring the treatment specifically to your condition and comfort.

Who Benefits from Spinal Traction Therapy? Do You Need Help?

Spinal Traction is a highly effective treatment option for individuals experiencing pain and symptoms related to spinal compression or disc issues. You could significantly benefit if you suffer from:

• Disc Herniation / Slipped Disc: In the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine).

• Sciatica: Pain, numbness, or tingling radiating down the leg due to nerve compression in the lower back.

• Radiculopathy: Nerve pain, numbness, or weakness radiating into the arms or legs.

• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, putting pressure on nerves.

• Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD): Pain caused by the natural wear and tear of spinal discs.

• Chronic Neck Pain & Back Pain: When caused by disc issues, muscle spasms, or joint compression.

• Facet Joint Pain: Pain arising from the small joints between vertebrae.

• Muscle Spasms of the Spine: Related to underlying disc or nerve irritation.

• Spondylosis: Degenerative changes in the spine.

• Nerve Root Impingement: Any condition where a nerve root is pinched.

• Expert Assessment & Diagnosis: Our physiotherapists conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure traction is the right treatment for your specific spinal condition, ruling out any contraindications.

• Precise & Personalized Protocols: Traction force, duration, and angles are carefully calibrated to your body weight, condition, and tolerance for maximum therapeutic benefit.

• State-of-the-Art Equipment: We utilize modern, comfortable mechanical traction units that allow for controlled and consistent application of force.

• Integrated Care: Traction therapy is rarely a standalone treatment. It is seamlessly combined with other physiotherapy modalities (e.g., manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, electrotherapy) for a comprehensive and synergistic approach to your spinal health.

• Patient Comfort: We ensure you are comfortably positioned throughout the session and closely monitor your response to the therapy.

How We Help: Our Traction Therapy Process

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Your journey begins with a detailed medical history and a thorough physical examination by our physiotherapist. They will assess your spinal condition, range of motion, muscle strength, and nerve function to determine if traction is appropriate and safe for you.

2. Personalized Treatment Protocol: Based on your specific diagnosis and individual needs, a tailored traction protocol will be designed, including the optimal force, duration (often 10-30 minutes per session), and frequency of sessions.

3. The Traction Therapy Session:

• You will be comfortably positioned on the specialized traction table. For neck pain, a gentle head harness is used. For back pain, a pelvic harness is applied.

• The machine then slowly and gently applies a controlled pulling force to your spine. You may experience a feeling of gentle stretch or relaxation in your spine.

• The therapist remains with you, monitoring your comfort and progress throughout the session. Traction can be applied continuously or intermittently (with cycles of pull and release).

4. Integrated Rehabilitation: After a traction session, our therapists will guide you through specific exercises, stretches, and postural education. This helps to strengthen the core muscles supporting your spine, improve flexibility, and maintain the benefits achieved from traction, preventing future recurrence.

5. Monitoring Progress: Your therapist will continuously monitor your progress, adjusting the treatment plan as needed to optimize your recovery and ensure long-term spinal health.

Benefits of Spinal Traction Therapy:

• Significant Pain Relief: Effectively reduces pain caused by disc compression and nerve irritation.

• Reduced Nerve Symptoms: Alleviates numbness, tingling, and weakness radiating into the limbs.

• Improved Disc Health: Promotes fluid and nutrient exchange within discs, aiding hydration and healing.

• Decreased Muscle Spasms: Releases tension in paraspinal muscles, providing comfort.
