How would it feel to be pain free?

Antalgic-Trak

In the year 2000, Dr. David Bass developed a theory that would improve spinal therapy for all time. He believed so strongly in the idea that he dedicated eight years into research and development to turn his idea into a reality. Today, the amazing Antalgic-Trak is treating patients around the world. 

 Antalgic-Trak is a multiple-therapy spinal treatment system that is engineered with a variety of treatment options including;

  1. Decompression, 
  2. Multiple forms of intermittent traction, and 
  3. A unique therapy called Sequential Spinal Decompression (SSD). A unique program that automatically increases and decreases the strength of the therapy at different intervals during the session. Amazing.

However, the greatest treatment feature of the Antalgic-Trak are the multi-axis 
articulation features. Articulation features enable the doctor to adjust and position the spine into a variety of postures. Why is this important? Because varied spinal posture provide more treatment options than the older single postured systems. We call this multi postural-positional decompression and it's the first and only system of its kind.
The images below show the variety of Antalgic-Trak motion.

The term "decompression" as used herein refers to unloading due to distraction and positioning.

In 2004, Dr. Bass partnered with colleague and friend Dr. Scott Denny (co-developer of the project) and together they co-founded Spinetronics, LLC, the manufacturer of Antalgic-Trak. Dr. Denny's insights and clinical knowledge helped advance the capabilities of the Antalgic-Trak into the state-of-the-art treatment system it is today.    

Doctors and therapists have embraced the new and improved technology and hail its creation as one of the most dramatic improvements in non-surgical spinal therapy ever created. The sophisticated articulating features have changed everything. It makes every other system seem obsolete. 

What if I'm in pain and I can't lie in a comfortable position? Antalgic-Trak can make you comfortable by positioning itself into your "condition posture." Condition postures are postures that patients bend or lean into to avoid pain. The Antalgic-Trak can duplicate that posture and begin your therapy in that posture. As you improve, we begin to move the adjustable sections back towards spinal neutrality until you are comfortable in a normal neutral posture. 

Neck and low back positioning: When spinal vertebrae are fixated or locked or retricted in how they move, the doctor modifies the postion of the machine to better affect the area of restriction. 

Improved Movements: Each Antalgic-Trak section can articulate (move) in 10 different directions (planes) to helps the cervical spine (neck) and lumbar spine (low back) through the treatment. 

Multi-Posture Decompression: This feature enables the doctor to set the articulation feature into a specific position and then perform decompression. This helps the decompression affect more areas than single posture decompression.      

There are multiple treatment applications with the Antalgic-Trak. Some patients only receive traction or decompression. Others receive the traction or decompression in combination with postural positional changes. Your doctor or therapist will help determine which is most appropriate.
