Spinal traction has several effects on the spine. It can obviously decompress the spine and the vertebral structures such as the discs and the vertebral joints, and therefore decrease irritation on the nerves by increasing the space in the spine where the nerves exit. It can also decrease muscle spasm, increase blood flow and decrease the sensitivity and pain in the spine.

Exercise and rehabilitation are crucial components of the recovery process following pain or injury. Integrating rehabilitation with chiropractic treatments can be highly effective in promoting a speedy return to health and preventing future injuries by restoring muscle strength, endurance, power, and flexibility. Here are some key benefits of exercise rehabilitation: Faster recovery: Engaging in appropriate exercises and rehabilitation techniques can expedite the recovery process by promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation. Decreased pain: Exercise rehabilitation can help alleviate pain by improving joint stability, promoting proper biomechanics, and releasing endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body. Restoring muscle strength, endurance, and power: Targeted exercises can strengthen weakened muscles, improve muscle endurance, and enhance overall power, enabling individuals to regain functional abilities and prevent muscle imbalances. Improving flexibility: Stretching and mobility exercises included in rehabilitation programs can enhance flexibility and joint range of motion, which is essential for optimal movement and injury prevention. Injury prevention: Exercise rehabilitation aims to address underlying issues that contributed to the initial injury, such as muscle imbalances or faulty movement patterns. By correcting these issues and improving overall fitness, the risk of future injuries can be minimized. Creating resilience: Rehabilitation not only focuses on recovering from the current injury but also aims to build resilience and improve overall physical fitness. This helps individuals better withstand future physical stresses and maintain a higher quality of life. Exercise rehabilitation can be beneficial for various conditions, including: Chronic injuries: Long-term conditions like chronic back pain, knee pain, and ankle instability can greatly benefit from exercise rehabilitation. It helps improve muscular support, joint stability, and overall function, leading to reduced pain and enhanced mobility. Hypermobility: Individuals with hypermobility, a condition characterized by excessive joint flexibility, can benefit from rehabilitation programs focused on strengthening the surrounding muscles to stabilize the joints and reduce the risk of injury. Non-responsive injuries: In cases where chiropractic, acupuncture, or massage therapy treatments are not providing the desired results, exercise rehabilitation can be a valuable adjunct. It addresses the functional aspects of the injury and helps overcome barriers to recovery. Remember, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a chiropractor or physical therapist, who can assess your specific condition and create a tailored exercise rehabilitation program to suit your needs.
