Thoracic disk herniation diagnosed with an upper body traction procedure in the sitting position
A 51‐year‐old man experienced sudden abdominal pain from the umbilicus to the right flank 5 days before his hospital visit. His abdominal pain disappeared when the examiner lifted his upper body in the sitting position. MRI revealed posterior intervertebral disc protrusion in the right paramedian re...

description | A 51‐year‐old man experienced sudden abdominal pain from the umbilicus to the right flank 5 days before his hospital visit. His abdominal pain disappeared when the examiner lifted his upper body in the sitting position. MRI revealed posterior intervertebral disc protrusion in the right paramedian region at the 9th/10th thoracic vertebrae. With the treatment, it is reported that traction is the appropriate initial approach for spine radiculopathy. Improvement with upper body traction performed in this case, which is a previously unreported maneuver, appears to be useful for diagnosis because it eliminates the influence of gravity and reduces intradiscal pressure. |
