Abstract

The conventional lumbar traction techniques which has been in use to manage low back pain, has ordinarily utilized multiple sessions of horizontal traction during a treatment. However, this mode of proceeding proved unable to give discreet therapeutical benefits.30,43Would the therapeutic outcome become improved by modifying the established proceeding? We have tried the Abbreviated Measured Vertical Traction (Abbr.M.V.T.) technique in the treatment of resistant low back pain. The referred technique utilizes a single session of strong stretch, which is applied once only upon a patient suspended from a frame. In this paper we report the interesting issue of this application on five back pain patients with different diagnoses.
