This type of traction is doctor directed and requires constant one on one contact with the doctor while they treat you.  This is not a treatment that the doctor sets you up for and then leaves you by yourself.  This is a much more specific way of tractioning each individual spinal segment. 

This is a unique service and technique offered by Ortho Athlete. Medical providers of various specialties refer their patients for manual flexion-distraction therapy for conditions such as herniated and bulging discs and chronic back pain.
