What Conditions Can Spinal Traction Therapy Treat?

Are you experiencing:

  • Postural problems like collapse or hunching
  • Herniated of bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Sciatica or leg numbness
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Muscle tightness related to spinal compression

Unlike offices that use traction generically, we integrate it into a full-body postural correction plan to restore balance to your spine and nervous system. Our customized spinal traction targets deep structural issues and chronic pain that other treatments miss. Combined with mirror-image adjustments, laser therapy, and Power Plate exercises, it delivers lasting relief and posture that performs.

If you’re struggling with back pain, disc injuries, or postural imbalances, traction therapy may be the missing piece.  At Cummins Chiropractic & Wellness, we combine advanced technology with a root-cause approach to deliver lasting relief—and posture that performs.

The Foundations of Posture Protocol

Our Tailored Approach to Spinal Traction Therapy: Our two-phase process goes beyond conventional care and is designed to deliver long-term results by addressing postural misalignments and chronic dysfunction at their core.

Phase 1: Correct the Structure

This phase is where the real spinal correction begins. Most pain-relief therapies never get this far—they focus on temporary relief. But CBP traction uses physics, repetition, and time to actually reshape the spine and improve posture, which leads to:

  • Reduced nerve pressure
  • Better biomechanics
  • Increased long-term function and health

To reshape spinal alignment, reduce subluxations, and begin reversing abnormal postural patterns, patients typically undergo regular traction sessions, often 2-4 times per week. Their traction set-up is designed to mirror the patient’s abnormal posture.  Research indicates that results persist for 6-12 months when proper stabilization protocols are followed.

Phase 2: Train the Body to KEEP the Correction

Once relief and stability are achieved, we focus on building strength, improving posture, and enhancing long-term function. This phase includes:

  • Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP): Evidence-based techniques to correct posture and retrain spinal alignment.
  • Rehabilitation Exercises: Customized to your needs, helping to strengthen and stabilize your posture.
  • Postural Traction Therapy: To stretch ligaments and retrain the spine for lasting results.

REGENERATE

Spinal Decompression & Mirror-Image Traction

In this first phase, we focus on relieving pressure and initiating structural healing. Chiropractic BioPhysics® mirror-image traction and spinal decompression gently stretch the spine to reduce disc pressure, improve blood flow, and begin restoring healthy spinal curves.

REHABILITATE

Power Plate & Postural Exercises

Once spinal alignment improves, the goal shifts to strengthening and stabilizing. Patients perform mirror-image postural exercises on the Power Plate vibration platform, activating deep stabilizing muscles and retraining the nervous system to hold proper alignment.

RESTORE

Maintenance Traction & Home Care

In this final phase, we focus on long-term stability. Gentle maintenance traction sessions combined with at-home posture routines help preserve correction, enhance flexibility, and keep the spine balanced for lasting results.

What Is Involved With Our Traction Therapy?

Traction therapy is more than stretching the spine—it’s a science-backed process designed to regenerate spinal health, rehabilitate posture, and restore full function.

Using advanced Chiropractic BioPhysics® traction, we apply precise, mirror-image forces that gently reshape spinal curves and reduce pressure on discs, nerves, and ligaments. Over time, this helps regenerate proper alignment and motion.

In the rehabilitate phase, customized mirror-image exercises strengthen postural muscles to stabilize these corrections, preventing relapse.

Finally, the restore phase focuses on maintaining long-term spinal balance—helping you move freely, function optimally, and live with lasting “Gold Medal Health.”

Diversified Chiropractor

The Diversified chiropractic manipulation and adjustment is often the most familiar to patients as it is designed to restore normal joint function and range of motion.

Our team of chiropractors use their hands to apply quick high-velocity and low amplitude thrusts to adjust the spine. This personalized and precise approach to chiropractic care can be applied to patients young and old, large and small.

Gonstead Chiropractor

The Gonstead concept of chiropractic begins with biomechanical principles where our practitioners recognize and correct misaligned vertebrae in the spine.

Gonstead involves visualization of subtle changes, instrumentation with a nervoscope, static palpation, motion palpation and x-ray analysis to evaluate the entire structure of the spine if necessary.

What is Spinal Traction Therapy?

Spinal traction therapy is a specialized chiropractic technique focused on spinal remodeling—gently stretching and repositioning the spine toward its ideal alignment. Using Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) principles, this form of structural rehabilitation helps correct abnormal posture and reduce mechanical stress on discs, joints, and nerves. By restoring proper spinal curves and balance, it improves overall biomechanics, nerve function, and long-term spinal health.

At Cummins Chiropractic & Wellness, traction is never a one-size-fits-all pull—it’s a precisely engineered correction based on your digital X-rays and posture analysis. Each traction setup is customized to restore your spine’s natural curves, improve biomechanics, and correct the structural cause of pain for lasting results.
