The Antalgic Trak
Why do I have Neck & Back Pain?
The 24 bones (vertebrae) that make up your spine are separated by strong, fi brous cushions (inter-vertebral discs) that allow them to move and absorb the load of your body weight. When most people sustain an injury, the spine is able to absorb it, adapt and heal itself naturally. However there are several factors that may hinder this process:
- Arthritis
- Poor Posture
- Sedentary Lifestyle
- Heredity Weakness
- Poor Sleeping Habits
- Excusessive Physical Activity
Any one of these factors can limit spinal mobility and weaken the discs making them susceptible to bulging, herniations, tears and/or degeneration. This inevitably triggers a vicious cycle of mild to severe, acute and chronic neck pain; headaches or arm pains as well as low back, hip or leg pain. These symptoms can be from the discs or the aff ected surrounding tissues and nerves.
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Improper lifting/pushing
- Spinal Steonsis or bone spurs
- Spinal defects, tumors, etc...
- Combination of these factor
How Does The Antalgic-Trak Eliminate Neck & Back Pain?
Spinal mobility is crucial in helping the intervertebral discs to repair themselves – it’s what “pumps in” the oxygen, water and nutrients that the discs require to nourish themselves, heal and stay healthy. The Antalgic-Trak® is an FDA Cleared, non-surgical, computerized medical device that removes compression loads from the spine by applying a series of gentle and soothing cycled stretching into and through the injured or compressed areas. This is commonly referred to as Spinal Decompression. Spinal traction, elongation and decompression are all forms of spinal stretching. The stretching separates the vertebrae to create a therapeutic vacuum pressure inside the discs. This enables them to absorb water, oxygen and nutrients. When vertebrae and discs are locked or fi xated they are unable to absorb. They need fl exibility and movement to be able to separate and begin absorbing. Much like any other tissues, once the compressions and irritations are removed, the tissues can begin to heal. As they heal, nerve pressures, irritations, infl ammations and fi nally “the pain” begin to disappear. No surgery, no drugs, no injections and no side eff ects.
