Antalgic-Trak is the New Standard in Non-Surgical
Spinal Decompression!
Finally, doctors have an advanced treatment technology
that can heal the symptoms of a herniated disc
in as little as 6 weeks. The new technology is
only available at certified Antalgic-Trak® spinal
treatment centers throughout the United States.
Please accept our invitation to review and study
these important life-changing materials.
What Is Articulating Decompression?
Articulating decompression can be defined as
decompression that can vary the posture of the
spinal column during the treatment. Basic linear
decompression systems cannot. With articulating
decompression, doctors have the ability to strategically
position the spine into a variety of postures
to make the treatment more effective. This posturing
improves how the therapy moves through the spine.
It enables the decompression to reach into areas
of the injury that the "older systems"
miss.
How is the articulating done?
Antalgic-Trak was engineered with a group of
multi-axis articulating sections. These movable
sections (located in the upper and lower portions
of the instrument) are able to correct and improve
the spine's posture during the treatment. It is
a truly amazing advancement to decompression.

What is the connection
between ROM and articulation?
Range-of-Motion (ROM) refers to the movement
ability of joints. Simply stated, the better the
movement, the healthier the joint. Each joint
has a "movement" value that we use to
evaluate its health. Antalgic-Trak's articulation
features can improve the ROM by gently improving
the gliding. This makes our joints healthier.
Is Antalgic-Trak aggressive?
No! Antalgic-Trak is a gentle giant. Once the
therapy begins, it rhythmically moves the spine
through a series of soothing mechanical motions
that improve or restore the spine's natural gliding.
In fact it's so gentle the majority of patients
sleep during their sessions.
What are the spine's ROMs?
The spine has many ranges-of-motion. They include
flexion (bending forward), extension (bending
backward), lateral flexion (bending side to side)
and most important, rotation. A healthy spine
must seamlessly move through all of these motions
without pain. Anything less may be due to an injury
or may be a pre-cursor to injury.
Do your spinal joints move freely and without
pain?
Damage to back or neck muscles as well as spinal
alignment issues can limit our spines' ability
to move. Limited or painful movement indicates
the need for treatment.
What makes spinal decompression different
than traction?
Spinal decompression is advanced traction. It
utilizes a set of sophisticated computers and
poundage sensors to control how the spine is elongated.
The old traditional traction simply pulls the
spine back and forth. But with computers we're
able to customize the pull-release pumping into
a specialized pattern that can rehabilitate the
cartilage of the disc and surrounding tissues.
Traditional traction could never do this. Antalgic-Trak
goes a giant step further with it's ability to
target tissues using its articulation feature.
Antalgic-Trak can provide more
therapeutic benefits!
1. The articulation features allow the doctor
to reposition the spine into a variety of postures
that enable the pull forces to reach into areas
of the spine that basic decompression misses.
2. Antalgic-Trak can be programmed to automatically
increase and decrease its pulling poundage as
the session is progressing. This is done using
a feature called sequential spinal elongation
(SSE).
3. Antalgic-Trak's therapy can be programmed by
"distance" values or "poundage"
values. Poundage values work well for elastic
younger patients and distance values work well
for patients that need limited stretching, i.e.:
spastic muscles or the taught fibers of some geriatrics.
4. Lastly, Antalgic-Trak can adjust and vary the
"holding times" of its pull and release
cycling. Different holding times effect different
tissues. For example longer holding times effect
the disc while shorter times effect muscle and
tendon. Other systems are limited to one pattern.
By using computers to control and modify the characteristics
of the pull-release cycling, traditional traction
evolved into decompression. The Antalgic-Trak
evolved decompression even further with its unique
articulation features. It has more treatment options
and is more advanced than any other system in
the world. Your doctor will decide which features
and protocols are best for you.
