The purpose of this study was conducted to know effect of inflatable traction on reducibility of disc herniation in CR. Methods: Thirty patients suffering from cervical disc herniation at the level of C5-C6 and C6-C7 or C6-C7; with unilateral cervical radiculopathy, they were distributed randomly and equally into two groups. group (A) which consisted of 15 patients with a mean age of 36.46 years, received traditional physiotherapy (infrared, ultrasound, and exercises) followed by cervical traction. group (B) which consisted of 15 patients with a mean age of 36.26 years, received same traditional physiotherapy and collar. Patients in both groups were evaluated pre and post treatment for neck pain, arm pain, H reflex (amplitude& latency) and also pre-, mid (at end of sex session) and post treatment for (cervical elongation& disc reduction) by using MRI. Patients in both groups received 12 sessions (three sessions every week for 4 weeks)
