Knee on Trac Decompression: A Non-Surgical Solution for Knee Pain
If you’re reading this, chances are you or someone you care about is dealing with knee pain. I see it every day in our practice – that wincing expression when standing up from a chair, the careful way people navigate stairs, or the reluctance to enjoy activities that were once second nature. Today, I’m excited to share a breakthrough treatment that’s changing lives at Newport Center Family Chiropractic: Knee on Trac decompression therapy.
What is Knee on Trac Decompression?
Knee on Trac is a patented system specifically designed for non-surgical knee pain relief. Unlike treatments that simply mask symptoms, this innovative technology uses gentle mechanical traction to decompress the knee joint. Think of it as a specialized therapy that creates space where your knee needs it most.
Many of our patients come to us after trying everything from pain medications to injections, still searching for lasting relief. Knee on Trac offers something different – a drug-free approach that addresses the root cause of discomfort rather than just covering up pain signals.
How Does Knee on Trac Work?
The science behind Knee on Trac is both fascinating and straightforward. During treatment, you’ll sit comfortably in a specialized chair while we secure your leg in the device. The system then applies gentle, controlled traction that gradually separates the femur (thigh bone) from the tibia (shin bone).
This separation creates what we call a “vacuum effect” within the joint space. It’s similar to what happens when you pull apart two surfaces that have been pressed together with a drop of water between them – that slight suction you feel. In your knee, this mechanical action produces several important benefits:
First, it increases the flow of nutrient-rich fluid into the joint area. Your knee cartilage doesn’t have direct blood supply, so it relies on this movement of fluid to receive nourishment.
Second, the traction gently stretches adhesions and scar tissue that may have formed in your tendons, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues. These adhesions often develop after injuries or with age, limiting mobility and causing pain.
Finally, the decompression can potentially increase joint space and cushioning over time. Research on traction therapy suggests it may stimulate improved blood flow to the area, promote tissue healing, and even support new bone growth in some cases.
Benefits of Knee on Trac Decompression
The results we’ve seen with Knee on Trac have been remarkable. Here’s what this therapy can offer:
- Pain Reduction: By alleviating pressure within the joint and reducing nerve irritation, many patients experience significant relief, often after just a few sessions.
- Increased Joint Mobility and Function: As restrictions are eased and tissues are stretched, range of motion improves. Tasks like climbing stairs or getting in and out of cars become easier.
- Decreased Inflammation: The decompression helps reduce inflammatory processes within the joint that contribute to pain and swelling.
- Rehydration of the Knee Joint: Your knee needs synovial fluid for proper function – think of it as nature’s lubricant for your joints. Knee on Trac helps promote better distribution of this vital fluid.
- Non-Surgical and Drug-Free: Perhaps most importantly, this therapy offers a path to relief without the risks of surgery or side effects of medications.
- Potential to Avoid or Delay Surgery: For many patients, Knee on Trac provides an effective alternative to invasive procedures, potentially eliminating or postponing the need for surgery.
- Accelerated Healing: The improved circulation and nutrient flow can help speed up your body’s natural recovery processes.
Conditions That May Benefit from Knee on Trac
In our practice, we’ve successfully used Knee on Trac to help patients with a wide range of knee issues, including:
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Knee joint degeneration
- Meniscus tears
- Sprains and strains (that are older than 6 weeks)
- Ligament injuries affecting the ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Failed previous knee surgeries
- Chronic muscle strains around the knee
- Baker’s cysts
Every case is unique, which is why we conduct thorough evaluations before recommending Knee on Trac. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and conditions.
What to Expect During a Knee on Trac Treatment Session
Each session typically lasts just 5-10 minutes, making it convenient to fit into your schedule. You’ll sit comfortably in a specially designed chair with your leg extended. We’ll secure your leg using straps and inflatable cuffs to ensure proper positioning and stability throughout the treatment.
As a trained practitioner, I’ll program the device with settings customized for your specific condition and comfort level. You’ll feel a gentle pulling sensation as the knee joint gradually separates – most patients describe it as a strange but not uncomfortable feeling.
You can immediately return to your regular activities, though we might recommend certain modifications based on your specific condition.
Results You Can Expect from Knee on Trac
While every person’s response to treatment is individual, we typically see patients experiencing positive results within the first few sessions. Many report significant pain reduction and notice they’re moving more easily than they have in months or even years.
As treatment progresses, you can expect increased ease of movement and improved joint function. For many patients, this translates to a return to activities they love – whether that’s playing with grandchildren, gardening, or even returning to favorite sports.
At Newport Center Family Chiropractic, we often combine Knee on Trac with complementary therapies like our deep tissue laser treatment or targeted manual therapy. This comprehensive approach enhances results and provides more complete relief.
Knee on Trac vs. Other Knee Pain Treatments
When comparing treatment options, it’s important to understand how Knee on Trac differs from alternatives. Surgery typically involves lengthy recovery times, risk of complications, and sometimes uncertain outcomes. While it may be necessary in some cases, many patients prefer to try less invasive options first.
Pain medications can provide temporary relief, but they don’t address underlying issues and often come with unwanted side effects or dependency concerns. Knee on Trac takes a more proactive approach by working to improve the joint’s actual function rather than simply masking symptoms.
What sets Knee on Trac apart is its ability to directly address the mechanical issues affecting your knee while supporting your body’s natural healing processes – all without incisions, anesthesia, or pharmaceuticals.
Finding Knee on Trac Decompression Therapy Near You
If you’re interested in exploring Knee on Trac treatment, here are some tips for finding qualified providers:
When searching online, use specific terms like “Knee on Trac therapy” or “knee decompression treatment” along with your location. Look for chiropractors, physical therapy centers, or specialized pain management clinics that offer this service.
Before scheduling, check the provider’s credentials and read reviews from other patients. A reputable clinic should be happy to answer questions about their experience with knee decompression therapy.
I recommend calling for a consultation before committing to treatment. This gives you an opportunity to discuss your specific concerns and determine if Knee on Trac might be right for your situation.
