A traction table, also known as a spinal decompression table, is a specialized medical device used in physiotherapy and chiropractic care to relieve pressure on the spine and improve spinal health. It works by applying controlled stretching and decompression of the spine, either manually or mechanically. 
Here's how it generally works and what it's used for:
How it works
The patient lies on the table, and harnesses are placed around the body, typically the pelvis or neck, to secure them.
A motorized system or manual mechanism then gently stretches the spine, creating space between the vertebrae. This can be a continuous pull or intermittent stretching, depending on the patient's condition and the type of traction being applied.
This stretching action helps to decompress the discs and nerves, relieving pain and promoting healing. It may also encourage disc material to retract if it's bulging or herniated. 
Conditions treated
Traction tables are commonly used to treat a variety of spinal conditions, including: 
Herniated or bulging discs
Sciatica
Degenerative disc disease
Pinched nerves
Spinal stenosis
Cervical spondylosis (neck arthritis)
Lumbar spondylosis (lower back arthritis)
General back and neck pain 
Types of traction tables
Traction tables come in various designs and functionalities, including:
Fixed Height Traction Tables: Provide a stable platform for traction therapy.
Adjustable Height Traction Tables: Allow for customization of the table's height for easier patient transfer and therapist access.
Split Traction Tables: Have a mobile and stationary half, allowing for specific spinal regions to be targeted.
Motorized or Electronic Traction Tables: Utilize computerized systems to apply precise traction forces and control the duration and intervals of treatment.
Manual Traction Tables: Rely on hydraulic or electromechanical systems and foot pedals for height and angle adjustments. 
Benefits
Pain Relief: Reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves, alleviating pain associated with various conditions.
Improved Mobility and Flexibility: Gently stretches the spine, increasing the space between vertebrae and enhancing range of motion.
Non-Invasive: Offers a drug-free, non-surgical treatment option.
Promotes Healing: Improves circulation and blood flow to the discs, facilitating tissue repair and reducing inflammation.
Reduced Muscle Spasms: Gentle elongation and relaxation of affected muscles help reduce spasms and associated pain. 
It's important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider like a physical therapist or chiropractor to determine if traction therapy using a traction table is appropriate for your specific condition. They can assess your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan for optimal results.
