Default Has anyone tried mechanical traction for sciatica and disc pain?
I have a bulging disc at L4-5 and a herniated one at L5-S1 and a physical therapist recommended this. From the little research I've done, it says its not a permanent fix and it takes a fair amount of procedures which cost a lot. The PT tells me that I'll know immediatly after its done if it will help or not.

I'd love to hear anyone's experience with this.

Thank you, EE
