Bulging disc? Herniation?

Lumbar traction elongates the spine, which creates a slight negative pressure in the disc. This can reduce a disc bulge and provide significant pain relief. Pinched nerve? Sciatica? Lumbar traction can definitely help—it’s one of the most common cases for using this type of treatment. Those with disc degeneration will also get temporary relief from lumbar traction, because the stretch temporarily removes compression from the nerve.

Traction is applied with a machine-operated belt (connected around your knees) that alternately applies and releases the traction force at preset intervals. .
