Is there any danger of having traction on neck(by machine) at physical therapists office?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT: when applied by a LPT (Licensed Physical Therapist) It is a part of their training and they are qualified to use this as a part of a Physician precribed program! Hope this helps Dr Z
