My name is Nathaniel S. Wirt Ph.D., D.C. I was a professor of Anatomy, Physiology, Neurology and Genetics for 14 years and have been a practicing Chiropractic for 27 years. Since my early thirties I’ve had back problems, and even with chiropractic care the problems would occur intermittently. I’ve always been an athlete and worked out regularly. In 1997 I injured my back in an exercise accident. I was inverted and attempting to do up-side-down sit ups. I felt something pull and tear in my back, and came off the inversion machine with a little pain in my back but terrible spasms in my left thigh adductor muscles. My left thigh diameter was reduced to half the diameter of my right thigh because of the severe spasms, and I could not stand up at all. These symptoms are indicative of nerve root irritation in the Left Lumbar Spine, at vertebral levels of L2 through L4, the Lumbar Plexus. I went into the hospi tal and received pain injections every five hours for nine days. Tests were conducted and the diagnosis was herniated discs of L3 and L4, which was consistent with the symptoms. I was told that I must have surgery; that I had no choice about it. My doctor was an excellent sports/medicine orthopedic surgeon and well respected in the community, but in this case, he was not aware of better ways to deal with the problem, as I will explain in a moment. Over a period of the next six weeks I received three Cortisone injections into the epidural spaces of the spine at the level of the herniations, and this decreased the pain to very manageable levels. However, I still could not stand up.

While in the hospi tal , as I was considering the recommendation of the surgeon, a chiropractic doctor and friend, who had a good knowledge of my history, and an excellent knowledge of when surgery is necessary, told me about the Vertetrac and the good results he was having with his patients using it. I truly had a dilemma. On the one hand, a highly respected surgeon was saying surgery was imperative; on the other, a well respected and successful chiropractor was advising me to use the Vertetrac to heal the damaged segments in my spine.

I ordered a Vertetrac and began using it daily for a month. The very first time I wore the Vertetrac, I noticed that I could stand up without pain. This, in itself, was a very positive result, suggesting that the nerve irritation was greatly reduced and that structural integrity was being supported. I began walking a half hour per day, every day for a month. After one month I was healed. I would not call this healing a miracle, but just sound anatomy, physiology, and physical therapy. It has been 12 years since my accident and I have no back or thigh problems. I wear the Vertetrac about once a month just to strengthen possible weaknesses in my spine.

I use the Vertetrac with my serious disc patients and achieve wonderful results. I hope this testimonial will encourage chiropractors, chiropractic colleges, and orthopedic and neurological surgeons, to look into the healing potential of the Vertetrac for the sake of their patients. Sometimes surgery is necessary but it should not be the first choice in dealing with back problems. Using the Vertetrac is a wonderful way to promote healing and has no side effects. In addition, if one adds to the Vertetrac treatment, the healing potential of chiropractic manipulation, you have a winning ticket for dealing with serious back problems.

"I am a 1990 graduate of CMCC, and have been in practice for 12 years now. I wanted to take the opportunity to write a short endorsement of your ambulatory traction unit, so that other practitioners could add it to their practices.   Thank-you for the Vertetrac unit. I have been using this tool in my practice with my disc and degenerative low back cases since 1996 with remarkable results.  There are many patients that have not gone forward to surgery because of this device, and it has helped in many cases where other forms of traction failed. It is easily adaptable to Chiropractic practice, and as a marketing tool there is nothing better than fixing someone who has been offered surgery by the neurosurgeons. It is an effective device that enables me to practice on conditions that were often referred out of my practice before.   We often follow a Vertetrac session with an adjustment, and then ultrasound. This combination has resulted in the best clinical yield for my practice, but I would welcome other protocols that other Doctors have developed.   Again I give your device my highest endorsement. It has change the way I practice, and improved the health of many of mdy patients."
