Hello,
When it comes to lumbar spine degenerative disease (spondylosis) the most commonly accepted modalities range from anti-inflammatory therapy (NSAID) to exercises designed to increase muscle strength and relieve joint loading.
So, physical therapy should aim to unload the vertebral joints loading and to strengthen the muscles that support the spine.
Traction procedures are indicated in such cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
