How long do you have to stay in the hospital for traction for back pain?

The typical hospital stay for traction for low back pain is 1 to 2 weeks, but there may be some variations depending on the condition. There are many causes of low back pain, with lumbar disc herniation being the most common, and the cause is mainly nerve compression caused by a herniated disc, resulting in radicular pain or low back pain symptoms. Lumbar traction can relieve the load on the lumbar spine, reduce the degree of extrusion on the intervertebral discs, and then improve the herniated discs, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving lumbar pain or lower extremity radiating pain. The treatment of lumbar traction for low back pain is ideally regulated by inpatient hospitalization, which allows for complete bed rest and systematic treatment, supplemented by lumbar traction for relief, usually for a period of 1 to 2 weeks depending on the condition.
