Spinal Decompression & Traction Tables Explained
A traction table applies controlled mechanical traction to the spine, gently separating vertebrae to reduce pressure on discs, nerves and joints. You will also see the same equipment called a decompression table or spinal decompression table, different names for the same clinical function. It is standard equipment in chiropractic and physiotherapy practices for spinal traction work.

Electric vs Manual Traction Tables
Electric traction tables run on motorised units with programmable force, hold time and cycle settings, letting practitioners set a protocol once and repeat it precisely across patients. Manual traction tables use hand-adjusted straps and pulleys. They cost less up front and suit lower patient volumes, but every session needs manual setup.
Cervical vs Lumbar Traction Tables
Most tables in this range handle lumbar traction as standard, with several models adding a cervical traction unit for neck treatment. If your practice treats both regions, check the specification sheet for dual cervical and lumbar capability before ordering.
Choosing a Traction Table for Your Practice
The right traction table depends on patient volume, treatment mix and room layout more than price alone. A busy multi-practitioner clinic gets more from an electric table with fast changeover. A solo practice or a satellite room can run well on a manual unit.
Traction Tables for Chiropractors
Chiropractors typically want a table that pairs traction with manual adjustment work: a stable frame, a drop-away or split-table option, and traction settings fine enough for spinal manipulation follow-up.
Traction Tables for Physiotherapy Clinics
Physiotherapy clinics lean toward programmable electric units for consistent, repeatable rehab protocols across a full patient list, plus a table surface durable enough for daily multi-patient use.

Electric or manual traction table, which suits a clinic better?
