Abstract
Abstract:
Introduction: Lower back pain is a frequent problem
in everyday life, a modern (sedentary) way of life. Pain
prevention is reduced to minimum socioeconomic
aspects suggesting that we push the boundaries. The
decompression machine enables faster recovery and
returns to everyday life.
Aim: To investigate the effect of decompression nonoperative therapies for pain in the lower back.
Materials and methods: Databases were searched
for data from PubMed and PEDro. In the bases, the
keywords traction were used spine, decompression
therapy spine, lower back pain, physiotherapy.
Results: The results of the research and the filtering
of the available papers resulted in a total of 5 studies
that provide relevant and detailed data on the effects of
spinal decompression therapy.
Conclusion: The use of spinal decompression therapy
as a non-invasive method in the treatment of lower
back pain leads to a reduction in pain symptoms
and an increase in the patient’s functioning. Greater
effectiveness of non-operative decompression is
achieved when it is used in combination with other
standard physiotherapy procedures.
