Traction is an important treatment method in orthopedic care. It involves applying a controlled pulling force to bones, muscles, or joints to reduce pain and help align bones properly. At Ashwini Accident Multispeciality Hospital, experienced orthopedic specialists recommend traction depending on the patient’s medical condition. What Is Traction? Traction is a medical treatment in which a controlled and continuous pulling force is applied to a specific part of the body to bring bones, joints, or muscles into proper alignment. When Do Doctors Recommend Traction? 1️⃣ Fractures (Broken Bones) When a bone is fractured, traction may be used to keep the bone in the correct position and maintain stability before surgery or during the healing process. 2️⃣ Slip Disc / Spine Problems If there is a slipped disc in the neck or lower back or pressure on the nerves, doctors may recommend traction to reduce pain and relieve pressure on the spinal nerves. 3️⃣ Muscle or Ligament Injuries Traction may sometimes be used to reduce strain on muscles, ligaments, and joints caused by injuries or excessive stretching. Benefits of Traction ✔ Helps keep bones in proper alignment ✔ Reduces pain ✔ Decreases muscle tension ✔ Relieves pressure on nerves ✔ Useful before or after surgery as part of treatment ✅ Important Note: Traction should always be taken under the supervision and guidance of a qualified medical professional.
