Traction
Yes, we’ve talked about traction of all different kinds before – here are a few relevant topics:
DRX 9000?
drx9000 vs inversion vs surgery
Distraction: VAX-D 2008, suburban chiropractic practice N=296 Prospective
Anyone tried the "Cox Thechnic"? It's working!!!
Traction can be as simple as hanging from a chin-up bar, or using an inversion table. Whether pre or post-op, be careful! Since I am almost 5 years post op, I hang and do chin-ups a few times a week. My back is great, thank God!
BTW: The treatments with the 9000 are not cheap; several hundred dollars each time. Another method (cheaper way to go if you have insurance) is getting PT, as most therapists are trained in applying traction with a special harness.
