Health Benefits of Traction and Massage with Chiropractic Care

8 of the best of the BEST reasons we provide Traction, and now offer the Decompression Chair Massage!

When combined together with chiropractic traction and massage therapy provide a complete and efficient system of treatment. Whatever your physical problems may be, combining these two types of care together can increase your overall quality of life and help maintain optimum health for patients.

Why They Work Well Together: Chiropractic focuses on the hard tissue of the body (vertebrae and joints of the spine) while massage and traction focus on the soft tissues (muscles) of the body. By targeting both the hard and soft tissues, a faster and more overall complete recovery is achieved. 

Massage “Traction” therapy has been proven to improve flexibility and range of motion by working on muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints. It also stimulates blood flow. This keeps your joints more fluid and less prone to injury.

Manage Lower Back Pain: According to the American Chiropractic Association, lower back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Approximately one in ten people have it, and for many who develop back pain, it becomes a chronic condition.

A recent study found that Massage “Traction” may provide lasting relief for chronic lower back pain, according to research published in the Journal of Pain Medicine. Researchers looked at people with persistent back pain who were referred by their doctors to Massage “Traction” therapies. They went to 10 sessions over 12 weeks. Most subjects completed a questionnaire, and more than 50% reported clinically meaningful improvement in their back pain. Several people even dropped below the threshold for disability according to lead author Niki Munk, an assistant professor of health sciences at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Additionally, many of these improvements lasted. Three months later, with no further Massage “Traction” sessions, 75% of the people who reported initial improvement said they still felt better.

Lessen Headaches: Tension headaches are often caused by poor posture, a sore back or tight neck, or constantly straining your eyes. Massage “Traction” improves blood flow and loosen tight muscles to reduce that pain and tension. A study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience found that Massage “Traction” reduces distress symptoms, pain, and sleep disturbances. Subjects in the study also experienced more headache free days and showed an increase in serotonin levels.

Boost Immunity: Research indicates that Massage “Traction” may strengthen the immune system (especially during winter months) by increasing the activity level of the body’s white blood cells, which fight viruses. The up in white blood cells is another result of a decrease in cortisol, which destroys natural killer cells.

Reduce Stress and Anxiety While Increasing Productivity and Alertness: Research shows that Massage “Traction” reduces stress on physical and psychological levels by lowering heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels, and insulin levels. Serotonin and dopamine are also released, which helps the body overcome chronic or habitual as well as acute or short term stress.

A well-known study by The University of Miami School of Medicine’s Touch Research Institute found that 15 minutes in a Massage “Traction” chair enhances measurable EEG brain activity in adults. Additionally, these adults performed more quickly and accurately in mathematical testing after receiving the Massage “Traction”, while groups without Massage “Traction” showed no improvements.


Improve Your Mood: Massage “Traction” also increases the production of endorphins, your body’s natural “feel good” chemical. This helps balance your body’s mood and more.

Sleep Better: As noted above, Massage “Traction” therapy boosts serotonin levels, which the brain can convert to the sleep hormone, melatonin. So enjoy for a blissful night’s sleep!

Improve Cardiovascular Health: Decades of research shows Massage “Traction” can serve as a powerful complementary treatment for lowering stress (as mentioned above) and blood pressure, two major contributors of heart disease. In fact, Massage “Traction” has been shown to acutely reduce blood pressure and heart rate in hypertensive women. Another study found that Massage “Traction” therapy may reduce pain, anxiety and muscular tension in cardiac surgery patients.

Spark Creativity: By helping you relax and giving you a moment to pause, Massage “Traction” opens your mind. You can think more clearly and get a better picture of the project at hand or the problem you’re trying to solve. This is another Massage “Traction” benefit linked to the release of the hormones serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins, and the decrease of the stress hormone cortisol.
