Back pain therapy: It is fine as long as symptoms are stable or improving . If pain increases or numbness develops - therapy should stop and you should revisit physician.

Active strengthening: Dts is passive, does not provide longterm benefits e.g. Musculoskeletal strength. It just gives you something to do while your disc recovers. The great majority of "slipped discs" heal up naturally over the course of several weeks, important to do active strengthening exercises. Some feel better while strapped into the dts machine but there is no proof it speeds up recovery.
