What is articulating spinal decompression? Articulating Spinal Decompression can be defined as an advanced form of linear (basic) spinal decompression. It is advanced because it can be adjusted to accomodate spinal distortions. Standard linear decompression systems cannot.
With articulating decompression, doctors have the ability to strategically position the spine into a variety of postures. Posturing effects how the therapy moves through the spine. Older systems are resticted to one posture.
How is the articulating done? Antalgic-Trak was engineered with a group of multi-axis articulating sections. These movable sections (located at the upper and lower portions of the instrument) are able to be positoned into a variety of postures for the purposes of improving the treatment experience. It is a truly amazing advancement to decompression.
The term "decompression" as used herein refers to unloading due to distraction and positioning.

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 traction cycles to improve or restore the spine's natural function. In fact it's so gentle the majority of patients sleep during their sessions.
What are the spine's movement ranges? The spine has many positions of movement. 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 spineand surrounding tissues.
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 affect the spine in more ways than the older one-position machines.
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 postural-positioining 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.
