Description
Introduction
The therapeutic process using a 3D 4D Electric Traction Bed begins with a full clinical assessment conducted by a qualified healthcare professional. Following diagnosis, the practitioner selects the appropriate traction protocol based on the patient’s condition, body weight, spinal segment involvement, and tolerance.
The patient is positioned supine or prone on the traction bed. Specialised harnesses are applied to stabilise the pelvis or cervical region. Using the digital control system, the clinician programmes traction force, hold time, rest intervals, and treatment duration. The 3D and 4D traction vectors allow multidirectional decompression, replicating natural spinal movement rather than linear pull alone.
During treatment, controlled separation of vertebral segments reduces intradiscal pressure, promotes rehydration of intervertebral discs, and decreases nerve root compression. Continuous monitoring ensures patient safety and comfort throughout the session.
