BACK ON TRAC TECHNOLOGY IS HELPING BACK PAIN CONDITIONS...

Our Back on Trac® Technology uses state of the art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back discomfort and sciatica. It works by gently stretching and releasing pressure in the spine so that the spinal disc pressure that is causing back discomfort is relieved. Slipping, bulging and herniated discs retract relieving the pressure off the nerves and other structures within the spine. The ergonomically correct (like no technology seen before!) allows the patient to comfortably start from a seated position. With the press of a button Back on Trac® safely moves the patient with their pelvis and knees in the correct position for the session. The result is immediate relief and the accretion of the natural healing process.

SHOULD I BE TAKING ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS?

Anti-inflammatory medicines, like Motrin, Advil, aspirin, Clinoril, Volataren, predisone and cortisone, all inhibit the healing process of soft tissues. The long term detrimental effects far outweigh the temporary positive effect of decreased pain. Aspirin does have a beneficial effect on the heart, but a detrimental effect on soft tissue healing. When a ligament or tendon is injured, prostaglandins are released which initiate vasodilation in noninsured blood vessels. This enables healthy blood vessels to increase blood flow and immune cell flow to the injured area to begin the repair process. The use of anti-inflammatories inhibits the release of prostaglandins, thus ultimately decreasing blood flow to the injured area.
