Effects of Spinal Distraction
Joint Distraction– Separation of two
articular surfaces– Can treat facet joint &
spinal nerve root symptoms
– Distraction force - 50% of BW for L-spine & 7% for C-spine
![Page 3: 1 Traction. 2 Effects of Spinal Distraction Joint Distraction – Separation of two articular surfaces – Can treat facet joint & spinal nerve root symptoms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab9312/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Effects of Spinal Distraction
Reduction of Disc Protrusion– Suction due to
decreased intradiscal pressure
– Force of 60-120 #’s have been shown to reduce lumbar disc protrusion

4
Effects of Spinal Distraction
Soft Tissue Stretching– Muscles, tendons,
ligaments, discs– Increase soft tissue
length & increase joint mobility
![Page 5: 1 Traction. 2 Effects of Spinal Distraction Joint Distraction – Separation of two articular surfaces – Can treat facet joint & spinal nerve root symptoms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab9312/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
Effects of Spinal Distraction
Muscle Relaxation– Can facilitate muscle
relaxationMay be due to
reduction of painMay be due to
prolonged stretch (may fire the GTO)
![Page 6: 1 Traction. 2 Effects of Spinal Distraction Joint Distraction – Separation of two articular surfaces – Can treat facet joint & spinal nerve root symptoms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab9312/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
Effects of Spinal Distraction
Joint Mobilization– Stretching of soft
tissues with traction can increase joint mobility
![Page 7: 1 Traction. 2 Effects of Spinal Distraction Joint Distraction – Separation of two articular surfaces – Can treat facet joint & spinal nerve root symptoms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab9312/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Effects of Spinal Distraction
Patient Immobilization– Very low-load traction
(10-20 #’s) has been used to immobilization pts with spinal disorders (Bucks Traction)
– Presently, not as popular
![Page 8: 1 Traction. 2 Effects of Spinal Distraction Joint Distraction – Separation of two articular surfaces – Can treat facet joint & spinal nerve root symptoms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab9312/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Clinical Indications for the Use of Spinal Traction
Disc Bulge or Herniation– Traction may be more beneficial for disc bulge than
herniation– The greater the damage to the disc, the less
effective traction may be.
