 Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch, and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the Fisher Traction neck device and Fisher Traction low back device, safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine with the use of a release strap.
