Underwater Spinal Traction at Kuialnyk Sanatorium
Underwater spinal traction is a specialized hydrotherapy procedure performed at the Kuialnyk Sanatorium. It is aimed at treating spinal disorders and relieving back pain.
The essence of the procedure lies in the gradual, controlled traction of the spine underwater. The patient is submerged in a special bath, where straps are attached to their body using specialized equipment. The straps then apply gentle stretching to the spine, eliminating pain sensations and improving mobility.
Due to the effect of weightlessness created underwater, the load on the spine is significantly reduced. This allows the procedure to be performed safely even in the case of serious spinal injuries or diseases.
Underwater spinal traction has the following effects:
- Reduction of pain and inflammation in the spinal column
- Increased mobility of the spine and joints
- Improved blood circulation and tissue nourishment
- Elimination of muscle spasms and tension
The procedure is prescribed for the following conditions:
- Spinal osteochondrosis
- Herniated and protruded intervertebral discs
- Radiculopathy
- Spinal injuries
- Arthrosis of the spinal motion segments
Before the procedure, the doctor necessarily consults the patient and determines the indications and contraindications.
