Postural and spinal rehabilitative programs are designed to improve or correct underlying spinal structural problems and abnormal posture. This is a comprehensive approach, and results in long-term benefits.

 
Because ligaments and muscles actually adapt and change shape as a result of poor posture and alignment, a sustained level of force, always within the tolerance of each individual patient, is crucial in making long-term, positive changes. Unlike traditional “medical” traction, which pulls apart spinal joints to provide relief only, this specific form of chiropractic biomechanical traction involves applying a sustained force to the spine in order to restore normal spinal alignment. Much like braces correct crooked teeth, traction is designed to move the spine to a more normal position over time.
