In the medical field, traction refers to the practice of slowly and gently pulling on a fractured or dislocated body part. Itâs often done using ropes, pulleys, and weights. These tools help apply force to the tissues surrounding the damaged area. The purpose of traction is to guide the body part back into place and hold it steady.
Two types of traction are used to stretch out the cervical spine: 1  Manual traction. A physical therapist performs this type of traction. 2  Mechanical traction. This form of traction for the cervical spine involves tension provided by mechanical means. A machine may provide the tension, or it can be a system of weights used with a harness or sling. Straps are placed on the patient's head, and then mechanical pressure is used to pull the head away from the neck and spine.
