I've had one client (out of hundreds) who felt that she got long-term relief from traction therapy. I believe that it can be helpful. I think that the meaningful help would be for people who start it BEFORE the degeneration is too severe. I think it may be beneficial for many of is, but will be unlikely to stave off the coming problems for most of us with serious structural issues.

The benefits of many of the conservative treatments is that it gives us something to do, think about, and be hopeful for; while we heal on our own. I'd venture a guess that most who benefitted from traction therapy would have improved anyway???

I don't think it will hurt (most of us). Some of these places are pretty unscrupulous, as evidenced by their advertising that claims it's the be all, end all cure for everything.... then the insistance that "you are a tough case, you may need 40 treatments instead of 20".
