Our traction therapy gently stretches the neck, helping to relieve pain, reduce stiffness, and improve overall mobility by creating space between the vertebrae.

Stretches & exercises

Specific stretches and strengthening exercises to support the structure and function of your spine can also have an indirect and positive effect on your pain and overall wellness.
