A traction system belt is a padded harness worn around the waist to apply controlled force to the lower spine, aiding in the relief of chronic or acute low back pain. Clinically, it is used in conjunction with an external traction device to gently stretch the spine, improve spinal alignment, and reduce pressure on lumbar and pelvic regions, often as part of physical therapy or home-based treatment plans.
These devices are typically classified as medical devices and regulated based on their intended use and risk level, though classification varies by jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied as single-use or reusable items, depending on the manufacturer’s design and materials, and may require specific instructions for proper application and safety during use.
