Yes, Advanced Spinal Traction is not recommended for pregnant women, patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm or various other abdominal diseases and spinal fusion surgery with or without instrumentation (screws and metal plates or "cages"). Remember the doctors of the Chicago Spine Institute will be evaluating each patient individually to see if they are a qualified candidate for therapy.

Although these therapies are a contraindication for Advanced Spinal Traction, the Chicago Spine Institute does successfully treat pregnant women and people who still experience pain or symptoms from failed spinal fusion surgery.
