The Traction Chair





The traction chair is the biggest part of the program and the most uncomfortable. Kendall spends a lot of time sitting in the chair. This set of xrays shows kendall's "before" spine and then a picture taken while she is sitting in the chair. The chair significantly reduces the curve in her spine. We are hoping that the time spent in the chair will correct the spine and all the exercises will help maintain the new position. The chair straightens it but the staff here is still working on de-rotating the spine and teaching Kendall how to maintain.
