MSNative Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I am in traction and a bunch of other therapy for my back. The PT recommended a home traction machine. I'm looking into whether or not ins. will cover one, but that would only be temporary. PT says I could really use one at home to use for years. I started searching online and am overwhelmed. Anyone ever used one or have any experience with them? If not, any good site recs for checking reviews on medical equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a27mom Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I would discuss it with your PT as it may depend on the type of dysfunction you have. (I am a PT, but not up on the current brands) they should be able to give you pros and cons of a few different brands. Yes they can be useful for a long time though. I miss being in the Out patient department when I could hook myself up on breaks. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know that relief is spelled t-r-a-c-t-i-o-n. :) I will talk to PT. I didn't realize there were different types. Shows how much I know. I appreciate your help.
