Not trying to endorse PEAK or anything, but along with therapy, traction is the way to go.
Everyday, your vertebrae squeeze together bc of your body weight being pulled down by gravity. Your spine "shrinks" and squeezes your vertebral disks causing pain.
If your hand (vertebral disk) were between two weights (vertebrae), pulling the weights closer would cause more pain.
Pulling them apart (traction) alleviates some of the immediate pain.
