What is the purpose of Cortel Dynamic Traction?

The purpose of Cortel Dynamic Traction is primarily to allow pre-operative stretching of paraspinal tissue. This method is designed to gently stretch the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the spine, which can help in preparing the area for surgical procedures by reducing tension and improving flexibility. This approach is particularly relevant in orthopedic care, where achieving the right alignment and reducing muscle stiffness can be crucial for a successful surgical outcome.

Utilizing dynamic traction facilitates better mobility and can be an important step in a comprehensive treatment plan, especially in preparing for more invasive interventions. It also aids in achieving therapeutic gains in patients who may benefit from alleviating pressure on spinal structures, helping to improve the overall functional status before surgery.
