Different Dosage of Decompression Therapy on Symptoms of Lumbar Radiculopathy

Effects of Different Dosage of Decompression Therapy on Symptoms of Lumbar Radiculopathy

This study will provide evidence about how much dose of decompression more effective for the treatment of lumbar radiculopathy. As this hypothesis has no evidence about the dosage of decompression in literature till now.

Decompression therapy differs from traction-based therapy in that the traction applied to the spine in decompression therapy is typically alternated between lower and higher levels of tension for predetermined periods of time. In either therapy, spinal tension is maintained for the period's typically extending 30-minutes or longer. This study will provide evidence about how much dose of decompression more effective for the treatment of lumbar radiculopathy. As this hypothesis has no evidence about the dosage of decompression in literature till now.
