Success in spinal decompression therapy for low back pain and radicular pain caused by lumbar disc herniation or protrusion.

This study concluded that nonsurgical spinal decompression was associated with a reduction in back pain and radicular pain and with an increase in disc height.

Methods

In this research group 1 patients underwent a 6-week treatment protocol of motorised nonsurgical spinal decompression, and in group 2 they underwent a 6-week physiotherapy with deep heat modalities and ordinary traction.

Results

Radicular pain and disc height using MRI were significantly improved in group 1 compared with group 2.
