more infoUnderwater spine traction
UNDERWATER TRACTION - a method of treatment that combines the effects of mineral or fresh water on the body with traction techniques. Exposure to water at a temperature of 36-37 °C leads to a decrease in the tone of the striated muscles, this in turn leads to an increase in the distance between the vertebrae. The intervertebral foramen through which the spinal nerves pass are widening. It also provides the elimination of muscle contractures, eliminates vascular spasm - improves blood flow to the affected area, which facilitates traction. It is shown underwater traction in order to reduce disc protrusion, lumbosacral and cervical brachial radiculitis, as a result of osteochondrosis, with discogenic pain syndromes, initial manifestations of ankylosing spondylitis and deforming spondylosis, with spinal curvature.
