Abstract
Abbreviated Measured Vertical Traction (Abbr.M.V.T.) and modified Abbr.M.V.T. are two techniques of lumbar traction, which in contrast to conventional traction, appear to have very promising results. These techniques apply strong traction forces once for very short time, and in one therapeutical session accomplish palliation of low back pain symptoms and increase spinal mobility. We present four cases of patients with low back pain of mechanical origin, successfully treated by these techniques. The patients had four different pathologies, yet showed a uniform response to treatment. The possible pathophysiology of this phenomenon is discussed.
