| Scoliosis Traction | .
What exactly is traction? Scoliosis correction through traction therapy is a type of rehab that gently stretches the spine and surrounding ligaments for a short period of time into the correct spinal structure, the same way braces hold teeth in a corrected position. To achieve the results, you have to do a series of tractions to change the structure of the spine over the course of several weeks.
We use this type of treatment with scoliosis patients to straighten the spine. Traction can be a combination of using straps, orthotics or pulls to achieve the optimal posture. For more information about how we treat scoliosis in our office, read here.
