Q

precautions for traction

A
  1. Claustrophobia
  2. Inability to tolerate prone or supine position such as with respiratory disorders
  3. GERD or late pregnancy
  4. For lumbar, Inability to tolerate belts or harnesses such hernias
  5. Pregnancy due to possible joint laxity (lumbar cannot be done in late pregnancy)
  6. Diseases in the treatment area such as
    Osteoporosis/osteopenia, long term steroid use
