[Just make sure your doctor wants traction or anything strenous before you do that. I had traction, and it was a bad decision on my part. I did it without a specialist recommending it. Not good. Conservative is good to try but not at the risk of more permanent damage.
Also on another post, it was mentioned not to ask about chiropractic to your PCP. I disagree with that. If you can't talk to the person who is in charge of your whole care, you defeat the reason why you see that professional. I tell my PCP everything. Not all PCPs disagree about chiropractic and or traction.
The more we trust them, that trust is returned in kind.
Thinking about you today, and hope all goes will. ginnie
