Spinal Traction In Slidell

Effective Relief for Back and Neck Pain Through Spinal Traction

At Alpha Physical Therapy in Slidell, Louisiana, we specialize in helping patients find long-lasting relief from back and neck pain. One of the proven treatments we offer is spinal traction therapy—a safe, non-invasive method designed to reduce pressure on the spine, relieve pain, and improve mobility. If you are struggling with chronic pain, herniated discs, or sciatica, spinal traction may be the treatment you’ve been looking for.

What Is Spinal Traction?

Spinal traction is a therapeutic technique used by physical therapists to gently stretch the spine. By creating space between the vertebrae, spinal traction:

• Relieves pressure on pinched nerves 
• Reduces disc bulging and compression 
• Improves spinal alignment 
• Promotes circulation and healing 

At Alpha Physical Therapy, our licensed physical therapists tailor spinal traction treatments to your specific condition, ensuring a safe and effective experience.
