Medical - Medical: Health Care / Orthesis --> lumbar traction unit
English term or phrase: tissue creep
Context:

According to the studies, gentle traction is more effective in creating permanent tissue stretching (known as tissue creep). Conventional traction may benefit severe cases of disc herniation but, for most back pain, XXX is the better choice.

Explanation:
Te dejo las definiciones de dos buenos diccionarios monolingües de medicina, el Churchill primero y el Dorland más abajo (la segunda acepción).

creep Further, slow lengthening of a muscle following the initial major lengthening in response to an imposed load.

arrastre 2. Tensión dependiente del tiempo en un tejido o cuerpo como consecuencia de la aplicación y mantenimiento de una fuerza a un nivel determinado.

Pongo tisular entre paréntesis porque si estás hablando de un tejido no hace falta repetirlo.

Saludos, guepardo.

Reference: tissue expansion

Reference information:
Tissue expansion is a concept based on the skin's natural ability to stretch in response to an underlying force...

...Las técnicas de expansión de tejidos deben ser vistas como parte de la evolución de las aplicaciones médicas. El potencial de aporte de tejidos es enorme en cantidad y calidad, pero se deberá evaluar cada caso en forma individual a fin de definir la indicación en relación al área topográfica afectada, forma y tamaño del expansor

... Posture - Causes Tissue Creep
Poor posture can lead to tissue creep. That is when the collagen fibres in the inner fabric of ligaments stretch and deform - similar to how plastic gives way under stress. Once this change has happened it difficult for the tissues to return to their normal length. Tissue creep may occur after long or repeated loading - it can start after as little as 15 minutes of slouching. This commonly effects people who spend hours working in the one position. Children who play computer games for long periods are at risk of tissue creep...

...Conventional tissue expansion may result in epidermal hypertrophy, decreased dermal, muscle, and adipose thickness, and bone resorption. A vascular capsule and angiogenesis provides a highly vascular flap and improves flap viability. Few soft tissue changes occur during rapid tissue expansion. The ability of the skin to increase in surface area during conventional tissue expansion is primarily because of biological tissue creep. Rapid expansion may result from mechanical tissue creep...
