Use of Spinal Traction in the Complex Treatment of Lumbar Disc Disease /// Ролята на екстензионната терапия в комплексното лечение на поясната дискова болест

Lumbar disc disease is of high importance with health and social impact leading to rapid decrease of the work capacity, impaired social adaptation, a lowering of one's quality of life and in some cases may be even the cause of the disabilities. The adequate therapeutic method is consistent with the stage if the illness and has a key role when it comes to successful recovery of the patients. Physical therapy has various tools via which it can act both symptomatically and pathogenically. One of them is traction used since Hippocrates’ time. Extensive research of the efficiency of the complex appliance of pre-formal physical factors and traction on the functional recovery of patients suffering from lumbar disc disease has been conducted, based on scientific evidence, for the purpose of this research. Assessment of the treatment effect is performed by dynamic tracking of both subjective and objective neurological status, indicators for active volume of mobility in the lumbar region, questionnaire by Roland-Morris for assessment of disability and questionnaire for assessment of the psycho-functional condition of the patient – CAM (confidence, activity, mood): before and after treatment; at the end of the first and the third months. The analysis of the results proves that the developed complex physiotherapeutic program applied during the right stage of the disease has high treatment efficiency and contributes for the proper recovery of the patients suffering from lumbar disc disease.
