A Progressive Therapeutic Rehabilitation System Both manual and mechanical traction have been used for years as a reliable solution for musculoskeletal pain and discogenic conditions. However, mechanical traction devices have remained primitive by technological standards…until now. The DTS traction from Chattanooga Group provides the innovation needed to mimic the intricate nuances of the manual therapist’s hands and expands the features of modern day traction.
