Autotraction is a method of diminishing lower back pain and sciatica in which the patient stretches himself on a specially designed traction table. The pulling force ranges between 400-800 N. Clinical results are encouraging and the method can be recommended as a temporary treatment especially in lumbago with sciatica. The influence on a herniated disc is discussed with respect to the suggestion that autotraction will diminish the herniation. In this study myelographic examination revealed that herniation was the same in location and size before and after autotraction. However, there was a marked clinical improvement in all patients but one.
自动牵引是一种减轻下背部疼痛和坐骨神经痛的方法，患者在专门设计的牵引台上自行伸展身体。拉力范围在400 - 800牛之间。临床结果令人鼓舞，该方法可作为一种临时治疗方法推荐，尤其是对于伴有坐骨神经痛的腰痛。关于自动牵引会减少椎间盘突出的观点，本文讨论了其对椎间盘突出的影响。在本研究中，脊髓造影检查显示自动牵引前后椎间盘突出的位置和大小相同。然而，除一名患者外，所有患者的临床症状均有明显改善。
