Dear Colleagues,
I would like to thank all of you who have responded to my question regarding
the use of mechanical lumbar traction. My intention was to get feedback on
other clinicians perspectives and the treatment protocols - especially
begining force amplitude and progression.
As most of you are familiar there is no strong research evidence on the use of
mechanical lumbar traction. Of course, I have done the medline search and
acquired additional information from textbooks.
Thus, I was really looking for some additional information rather than
rationale for treatment, although I did appreciate insight given by Dr. Siff
and others.
Thank you
Nick El Baridi, PT
