How does Intersegmental Traction or Roller Table Work?

Spinal discs receive nutrients from the fluid circulation upon spinal joint movements. Joint misalignment in the spine hinders this action from
occurring and causes thinning and degeneration of the discs. Intersegmental traction works by creating passive motion that causes mild stretching of the spinal joints and improves mobility. Intersegmental traction functions by mobilizing the spinal column while at the same time gently stretching
the muscles and ligaments. When the postural muscles of the spine or the muscles which help in keeping an individual in a straight position are disturbed or affected badly due to injury, fatigue, poor posture on accident, it causes spasms in them.
