Knee on Trac Traction

Knee on Trac therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes a patented mechanical traction system to gently decompress the knee joint. This innovative approach is designed for individuals suffering from chronic knee pain, arthritis, or those recovering from knee injuries and surgeries. By creating negative pressure within the joint, it provides a conservative and effective alternative to surgical intervention, aiming to restore function and alleviate discomfort.

The therapy works by gently separating the two main bones of the knee joint, the femur and the tibia. This separation creates a vacuum effect inside the knee, which helps to draw in nutrient-rich synovial fluid. This fluid lubricates the joint, nourishes the cartilage, and promotes a healthier joint environment. The traction also stretches the surrounding soft tissues, including ligaments and tendons, which can help to improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and reduce stiffness in the knee.

The scientific basis for Knee on Trac therapy lies in its ability to promote the body's natural healing processes. Research indicates that mechanical traction can stimulate angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and osteogenesis (the formation of new bone). By decompressing the knee joint, the therapy reduces pressure on damaged cartilage and other tissues, which not only alleviates pain but also creates an optimal environment for tissue repair and regeneration.
