Self-reported pain and osteoarthritis of the hip and spine in retired elite rowers by Baynham-Williams, M

“…No significant differences were found between rowing training duration or hatchet blade use in retired rowers with poor outcomes at the hip, spine or combined hip-spine. However, it is likely that this study was underpowered to detect statistical differences. …”

Biomechanical investigation of traction forces on the cervical (neck/head region) spine by Ang, Lian Ann

“…It is believed that the relief of pain by traction is due to straightening of the cervical spine and a widening of the intervertebral articulating space to relieve compressive or irritative forces on the nervous structures…”
