什么是脊柱牵引力？

Spinal traction is a form of decompression therapy that relieves pressure on the spine. It can be performed manually or mechanically.

脊柱牵引力用于治疗椎间盘突出，坐骨神经痛，退化性椎间盘疾病，捏神经和许多其他背部疾病。

Spinal traction stretches the spine to take pressure off compressed discs. This straightens the spine and improves the body’s ability to heal itself.

Candidates

People with spinal conditions benefit from this therapy because the traction reverses the force of gravity. It is most commonly used to treat:

  • 滑动光盘
  • 骨刺
  • degenerative disc disease
  • 椎间盘突出
  • 方面疾病
  • 坐骨神经痛
  • 有孔狭窄
  • pinched nerves

脊柱牵引力有时会导致疼痛比原始状况差。患有骨质疏松症和某些类型癌症的人不应使用牵引疗法。

Spinal traction is known to cause muscle spasms. Most doctors are prepared for this to happen during or after therapy.

脊柱牵引疗法可以根据您的需求手动或机械进行手动治疗。

手动脊柱牵引力

在手动脊柱牵引力中，物理治疗师用手将人们处于牵引状态。然后，他们在关节和肌肉上使用手动力来扩大椎骨之间的空间。

机械脊柱牵引力

In mechanical spinal traction, you will lie on a table that has special tools to stretch the spine. A physical therapist will attach a series of ropes, slings, and pulleys to your body to mechanically relieve pressure.

脊柱牵引是缓解脊柱疼痛和纠正问题的一种非手术方法。尽管它确实具有一些潜在的副作用，但脊柱牵引力为大多数人提供了一致的缓解。

There are no long-term risks of spinal traction. Some side effects may occur during or after treatment. Many people experience muscle spasms after traction. Some have pain in the treated areas.

脊柱牵引力并不适合所有人。医生可以根据您的病史确定风险是否值得潜在的奖励。

Before undergoing spinal traction, you must speak with your doctor to create a total-management physical therapy plan. Spinal traction often works as an enhancement for other therapies.

医生可能会在脊柱牵引力前建议在家锻炼。这通常不需要。

脊柱牵引的结果包括缓解疼痛，适当的脊柱排列和减压关节。脊柱牵引力伸展背部的肌肉和骨骼，以应对重力的影响。在适当的情况下，这可能会大大改善您全天移动和感觉的方式。

With the help of other physical therapies, many people find great success with spinal traction. Treatment reduces pain and the body is more capable of healing itself. Some people only need spinal traction therapy for a short period of time. Others need it throughout their lives.
