Hello Doctor, we visited you for my mom's neck pain and you had prescribed physiotherapy with neck exercises with ultrasound and SWD. The therapist also recommended traction. Should we do traction also?

If it's necessary, better get it done. You need to assess her bone density, if bones are osteoporotic; it's not advisable to go for traction and based on the severity of pain and problem, mostly an experienced physiotherapist can easily do this job.
Next Steps
maintain physiotherapy chart for how many days of traction, mode, duration etc
