What’s the Purpose of Manual Traction Treatment?

The purpose of manual traction treatment at our Newburyport and Beverly locations is to provide a very specific and controlled distraction force to the spine or joint in order to alleviate pain or compression. It can help with the “pinch” of a herniated disc or the compression that occurs in an arthritic knee.
