The company has a group of cooperation teams engaged in the Traction Bed industry for many years, with dedication, innovation spirit and service awareness, and has established a sound quality control and management system to ensure product quality.
The Cervico2000, Meditrac's innovative cervical traction device, is designed with the simplicity of a collar but the performance of any similar automated device. Velcro straps connect the padded anterior and posterior portions. The Cervico has a unique and powerful decompression mechanism that applies a strong traction bilateral force of up to 44 pounds simply by pressing down on or "jacking" the levers on either side of the device. Traction can be customized asymmetrically to favor a disc bulge or a pinched nerve. Patients can be trained to independently don and doff the Cervico neck traction device.
What truly sets the Cervico2000 apart from the other traction devices in its field is that the wearer is not confined to a static position for the duration of the decompression treatment. They can exercise and are encouraged to participate in light physical activity during the session.
At Meditrac, we believe, and science agrees, that bed-rest and activity restriction are antiquated approaches to pain treatment and cause more harm to patients suffering from chronic or acute spinal pain. To truly start down the road to recovery, the patient needs activity modification, proper spinal alignment, and pain-free mobility.
In a previous blog entry, we discussed the fundamental importance of mobility to the overall healing process. Muscle contraction naturally results in increased blood flow, which optimizes the delivery of oxygen and healing factors to an injured area.
When you start to think about this, it seems counter-intuitive to employ a treatment for back and neck pain that forces patients in pain to sustain seated or supine positions for 15-20 minutes or more.
When properly fitted, the Cervico2000 applies a solid and effective traction force while simultaneously allowing the complete wearer freedom of movement and the ability to ambulate slowly or exercise gently.
The strong traction from the Cervico, coupled with pain-free mobility, has multiple holistic and positive effects on the patient:
Increased physical confidence in their mobility
Positive feelings of encouragement and empowerment in their pain journey
Increase fluid reuptake in the disc, restored biomechanics
Development of correct mobility habits with proper spinal positioning
In short, the Cervico2000 by Meditrac is like none of the cervical traction equipment that you have already come across. It combines mobility with decompression to target cervical disc pain at the source.
Anyone suffering from neck pain, acute or chronic, can be a candidate for treatment with the Cervico2000. The Cervico is designed to target the source of pain related to whiplash injuries, disc disease, torticollis, work-related neck soreness, sports injuries, and osteoarthritic or degenerative changes to the cervical spine.
Some contraindications for using the Cervico2000 include localized skin irritation, recent mandibular, cervical, or clavicular fractures, active bone cancer, active bone infections, poor bone integrity, and disorders of the blood vessels of the neck.
A typical treatment with the Cervico starts with proper imaging and diagnosis by a Doctor. Depending on the diagnosis, severity, and chronicity of the pain, a treatment program with daily or tri-weekly sessions will begin. After 2-3 weeks, a reassessment will determine whether the patient continues the current program for another 2-3 weeks or moves into a maintenance program. The Cervico maintenance program typically comprises weekly or bi-monthly sessions to maintain the progress made during the treatment program.
Meditrac boasts an over 85% success rate in patients suffering from acute or chronic pain. To date, thousands of patients have improved their quality of life after being treated with the Cervico2000.
70% of patients report a noticeable improvement after just eight sessions with the Cervico2000. 75% of patients report a total return to function after 12 sessions with the Cervico. They have no mobility or activity restrictions. These patients have successfully avoided prescription pain meds and costly surgeries.
Neck pain can be avoided or improved with simple lifestyle modifications.
- In the workplace: lift or prop your screen, so it is at eye level. Invest in a comfortable chair that causes minimal arching in the lower back and positions your hips and knees at 90-degree angles under your desk. Don't forget to take breaks every hour or two to do simple neck stretches or loosening exercises.
- At home: try to minimize children's screen time, or invest in phone or tablet kickstands to position the devices at eye level. Teach them the same gentle neck exercises, and encourage them to listen to their bodies throughout the day.
Together we can try to get ahead of this problem.
During treatment, patients are entirely mobile, encouraged to perform light activities and exercise for active rehabilitation with 3D forces.
Compact, Customizable, and cost-effective treatment; no drugs, hospitalization, or surgery needed.
Vertical traction force increases the intervertebral space simultaneously with Horizontal force, creating an effective 3D force.
Combining motion with traction > simultaneously decreases pressure, enables fluid exchange, improves Range of Motion, and promotes recovery.
Cervico2000 enables the application of distraction force directly to the cervical spine alongside the cervical lordosis while retaining patient mobility
Innovative non-invasive Vertetrac treatment delivers pain relief and complete recovery for herniated disc patients following 12 years of suffering, eliminating hospitalization, drugs, and surgery.
The patient, a 43-year-old lawyer, was no stranger to extreme back pain.
For over 12 years, she experienced attacks that often left her incapable of sitting at a desk and in tears. The patient testifies:
"I was not able to walk beyond 20 meters. I couldn't even drive. I resorted to meeting my clients while lying on the office floor. I was dependent on drugs. I moved like a homeless, pausing on each bench in my neighborhood."
The condition deteriorated when the patient experienced stronger pain with radiation in her left leg earlier in the year, compelling her to seek hospitalization and IV medical treatment at Ichilov Hospital, Tel Aviv.
The treatment offered partial and temporary pain relief. The next step proposed, a high-risk back operation, was an outcome the patient refused to accept.
The patient endured a history of severe pain attacks for over 12 years with radiation to the legs.
An MRI revealed a vast herniated disc on the right at L4 – L5 and a massive disc on the left at L5-S1.
The patient could not stand for more than 15 minutes, could barely walk, and could not sit upright in an office chair during severe attacks.
The bone scans produced negative results.
The Meditrac post-hospital tests revealed the patient had a positive leg in the right of 40 degrees, weakness of EHL 3/5 from the right, positive leg in the left of 50 degrees, yet her sensation test was normal.
The patient began a daily treatment with Meditrac's Vertetrac dynamic traction device encompassing walking on a treadmill for 10-to-15 minutes while in traction.
The traction treatment was gradually increased to 30 minutes a day. In the early stage of treatment, she still needed two doses of morphine and an anti-inflammatory drug once a day.
The MRI on E and F show the disc herniation on level L4-5 is completely normal
Level 5 S1 still shows a disc herniation to the left (MRI results recorded on June 19, 2015)
Today the patient has fully restored her health and accomplishes her daily activities pain free
Following a week of intensive treatment, the patient could walk for 30 minutes without breaks and no longer needed anti-inflammatory medication.
By the end of the second week, she stopped taking nightly morphine treatments.
Following 12-to-15 sessions, the patient was able to reduce her treatment frequency to every second day
After a month, she returned to full-time office work in a sitting position.
She exercises preventative treatment that involves walking on the treadmill for half an hour once a week while wearing the Vertetrac device to maintain progress and recovery
Vertetrac's lumber ambulatory decompression solution delivers an innovative, mobile, and cost-effective treatment of lower back pain. It offers relief to lumbar spine-related injuries and disorders, including herniated discs and Sciatica, an alternative to surgery, body braces, or decompression table treatments.
Vertetrac compared to traditional traction:
Vertetrac outperforms traditional traction by combining decompression with horizontal force, making simultaneous 3D decompressed traction therapy possible. This unique combination provides concurrent 3D treatment with asymmetrical traction options.
Vertetrac's "traction-on-the-move" not only encourages patients to be active during treatment but also accelerates recovery.
Being a compact, the one-size-fits-all device makes it possible for a group of patients to be treated simultaneously within a clinical environment. Patient feedback to back treatment achieved in a group environment validated the positive impact of group work on the individual healing process.
A portable and maintenance-free unit, Vertetrac requires little storage space and fits conveniently into a travel bag. Patients needing long-term care can rent or purchase the device and can be guided to administer self-treatment in their own homes.
The treatment sessions, averaging 30 minutes, are significantly shorter than traditional traction and are completed with minimal interruption to the patient's routine. Patients wearing the device can move freely and walk. They can also stand or sit during treatment.
All Meditrac treatment devices are FDA listed and practiced by recognized medical authorities.
