Brief summary (from the registry)
It is typical of chronic low back pain that, after the first painful episode, is repeated at 44-78% of patients. For acute lumbar pain, approx. 10-15% of them are converted into chronic. Conservative treatments are few studies done in the traction therapy. A large number of multicenter trials did not evaluate the effectiveness of underwater traction therapy.
