Saunders Lumbar Hometrac State-of-the-art Traction at Home
Old Hospital Traction Methods
Traction is no longer like this: shown above as this patient was hospitalized in traction for 2 weeks, 40 years ago.
SAUNDERS LUMBAR HOME TRACTION IS THE BEST IN CLASS
Although the Saunders Lumbar Hometrac was designed for use at home by back pain sufferers, the professional quality and durability make it a wise choice for small clinical settings as well. Users easily control pressure by way of a pneumatic pump. The friction-free track creates a highly efficient, effective result; facilitating the use of less poundage while achieving better therapy than other, more expensive electronic traction units. Saunders design of both the thoracic and pelvic belts exerts less pressure as traction is applied; really improving comfort.
PHYSIOLOGY OF LUMBAR TRACTION
Correctly performed traction benefits the body in the following manner: Lumbar Traction for Disc Herniation
Distraction or separation of the vertebral bodies
Distraction and increased gliding motion of the weight-bearing facet joints
Improved tensile strength of the ligamentous structures that stabilize the spine
Widening of the intervertebral nerve spaces
Straightening of excessive spinal curves
Stretching of the spinal musculature with gentle release of scar tissue adhesions
A decrease in intra-discal pressure, eliciting a suction of fluid into the disc and possible retraction of herniation from negative pressure. Overall, the process brings hydration and nutrients to the cartilage cells, aiding the healing process
