Cervical and Lumbar Traction Therapy

Traction Therapy for Neck and Lower Back Conditions

Cervical and lumbar traction therapy is used in selected physiotherapy cases to help reduce pressure on spinal structures and support symptom relief in some neck and lower back conditions. At Emirates European Hospital, traction therapy in Sharjah is applied only after professional assessment and according to the patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, and tolerance.

Traction may be considered in selected patients with neck pain, radiating symptoms, lower back discomfort, spinal tightness, or movement restriction where physiotherapy assessment indicates potential benefit. It is usually integrated into a broader treatment plan that may also include exercises, manual therapy, posture correction, and pain relief modalities.

This service is suitable for patients with cervical or lumbar complaints who need a structured physiotherapy program and specialist evaluation to determine whether traction is appropriate and safe for their condition.
