Traction Tables

A traction table or extension table is an essential aid when carrying out extension and traction therapy. The body and especially the spine are treated with certain complaints by stretching, stretching and pulling. In this way, stress in the body can be balanced and healing can be activated. In addition to the harmonious, pulsating train of a TRAComputer, a therapist can help with specific movements and carry out other therapeutic measures.

The traction table as an all-purpose tool in traction therapy

The areas of application of a traction table

An extension table is used both in health and extension treatment as well as in physiotherapy and should therefore not be missing in any physiotherapy practice. Additional possible uses arise in chiropractic and manual therapy. In these areas it also makes sense to buy a traction table. This not only enables therapeutic measures to be implemented, but also allows targeted training exercises to be carried out and muscle tension to be released. A corresponding therapy table or massage table either only contains the table or is available as a combination of table and traction device.

An extension table is a highly developed therapy device

Especially in the case of back and intervertebral disc problems, traction treatment takes place and a traction table is used. In contrast to the classic loop table, it offers the advantage that all measures can be carried out mechanically and computer-controlled. This enables a gentler and finer adjustment of the pulling force. The intervertebral discs can be rehydrated much better in this way. If you want to buy a traction or extension table, you should also ensure that the bed surface is properly upholstered. If this is equipped with an artificial leather cover, this enables easy cleaning and disinfection. A high-quality treatment table is also characterized by a high level of patient comfort, the storage of sessions and preset clinical protocols for the cervical and lumbar spine.

Intermittent pulsating traction treatments can also be carried out with a traction table. With these, the spine or the hip joint is intermittently and dynamically stretched / stretched under computer control. The traction curve is adapted to the patient accordingly and thus relieves the diseased structures.

Equipment of a traction table

The entire lying surface, i.e. also the trunk upholstery and head section, of the lounger is covered with hard-wearing, padded synthetic leather and is available in a wide variety of upholstery colors. The head section is usually available with a nasal slot and the complete therapy bed is height adjustable. The massage tables can be cleaned with a special disinfectant, cleaning and disinfecting wipes. Matching therapy table covers or washable fiber sheets are available as accessories for the extension tables.
