Intersegmental Traction
This seems to be the green revolution, but in the field of medical profession and is called the Chiropractic therapy. This is the same way that can be compared to the automobile industry. This I am saying because it’s the same, there are different hybrids that are coming out in the field of the automobile industry which don’t use crude as their fuel, but electricity.
So this is the same way that the chiropractors don’t use any medical drugs or other harmful chemicals but use the magic of their hands to heal those muscles and tissues that don’t function well.
And among all the other medical treatments that are there in this field of chiropractic, the chiropractic adjustment seems to be the most popular and the desired therapy. This is besides those massages and hydro therapy. But this profession is not only restricted to massages and spinal adjustments.
As the field of science and technology advances, the same is with the field of chiropractic. Earlier there were some severe cases of damages that could not be treated with the help of chiropractic, therefore now different therapies have come out so as to take care of even those issues that could not be dealt earlier.
One of them is the intersegment traction; this also can be known as the Intersegment Traction Therapy. And this therapy allows the chiropractor to fix a backtracker, which would give gentle traction and would pull up the spine both upwards and downwards while the patient rests on the table.
The intersegment traction therapy is a specialized medical technique that is especially designed to give some passive exercise to all the 110 joints that are associated and connected to the spinal cord. And according to most of the chiropractors this can be done only with the help of an outside source. And it’s this traction that is the outside source which can create the magic on the muscles and the joints even without straining them.
This also seems to be the most effective therapy, especially when used in combination with the chiropractic adjustment. Intersegment traction also helps to lose the locked up joints that are between the discs and also gives you passive motion exercise that would again bring life to the disc that is located between the vertebrae.
So this is the main reason that can be cited for bringing flexibility and elasticity to the worn out spinal cord.
