Uses:
The TM-400 Traction Unit is an essential piece of equipment in physical therapy, chiropractic, and orthopedic clinics. Its primary uses include:
Spinal Decompression: The unit is used to apply controlled traction to the cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) spine. This can help to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves caused by conditions such as herniated discs, disc degeneration, and spinal stenosis.
Pain Management: It is a non-invasive modality used to reduce pain associated with a variety of back and neck conditions, including sciatica, radiculopathy, and nerve root compression.
Muscle Relaxation: The traction can help to stretch and relax muscles that are in spasm, which can reduce pain and improve range of motion.
Improving Joint Mobility: By applying controlled force to the spine, the unit can help to increase mobility and flexibility in the spinal joints.
