    {   'sDescription':'What is traction?	\r\nTraction is basically a treatment which enables a widening of the intervertebral space thereby reducing the pressure on the spinal cord and nerve root. This is done by inducing negative pressure that enables the disc to return to its normal position.\r\nCan the traction worsen my medical condition?	\r\nTraction can seldom worsen your medical condition, in the worse case it doesn’t help. Traction is a non-invasive, relatively friendly and progressive form of treatment which is physiologically suited to restore the normal position of the spine. Therefore, it is an excellent tool used also as a preventive treatment by those who suffer from a bad back.  \r\n\r\nWhat advantages does the Vertetrac have over other traction devices?	\r\nWhile other devices are relatively large, immobile and take up a  valuable floor space, the Vertetrac is totally portable and lightweight.  Meditrac\'s products require minimal training and their simple operation even allow self-treatment, ultimately. Other devices require a trained medical professional and the patient can\'t administer to his own traction. \r\n\r\nThe Vertetrac, lumbar traction device allows active exercise during treatment and thus active rehabilitation that accelerates healing. When using other forms of tractions, the patient is required to be immobile and passive.   The Vertetrac allows multi-dimensional and asymmetrical traction and therefore provides medical features that most other traction devices, that are restricted to one-dimensional, symmetrical traction, can\'t perform. The DBS optional component is another feature of the device which is designed to treat idiopathic Scoliosis in a most comfortable way.\r\n	How many treatments do I need in order to get "back on track" with my back?	\r\nUsually in case of acute pain, approximately 12 daily treatments are enough – in two weeks you can get back to normal life!  In case of chronic pain, it may take longer, 3-5 weeks, depending on the medical condition. In the beginning, intensive daily treatments for 14 days and after these 2 weeks the treatment can be performed once every few days.               ',

        {   'sDescription':'Is the Vertetrac covered by US insurance?	\r\nMost of the insurance companies in the US completely cover the treatment procedure under ‘mechanical traction’.  Medicare and other HMO providers also partially reimburse the purchasing of the devices for homecare use. We strongly suggest finding out the exact conditions with your medical insurance\r\nWhy is the Vertetrac more expensive than other portable traction devices?	\r\nThe Vertetrac lumbar traction device has functions that other portable devices do not have such as 3D traction forces which work simultaneously. It also has a special adaptor called the DBS rail, for scoliosis treatment which can create 2 differential forces from different sides of the patient\'s body. The Vertetrac contains State-of-the-Art engineered mechanisms, constructed with the most highly advanced materials, which enables very high quality performance.\r\nCan the Vertetrac be purchased in different body sizes?	\r\nThe Vertetrac is designed as a "one size fits all". It is very versatile and can be worn on up to American trouser size 48. \r\n\r\n',

{   'sDescription':'Lumbar spine treatment breakthrough: Meditrac created the patented Vertetrac device for non-surgical treatment of the Lumbar spine. Vertetrac is based on an innovative concept that combines conservative traction with a horizontal force. This unique combination enables simultaneous 3D treatment and asymmetrical features. Vertetrac was later upgraded by the DBS rail feature for treating scoliosis.\r\n \r\nCervical treatment follows suit: By the end of 1999, the company launched the Cervico2000™ - a neck pain remedy based on the same concept. \r\nAll Meditrac products are registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration and feature the CE mark. Meditrac\'s "Traction on the Move" concept raises conservative traction methods to new levels, promoting rapid healing and rehabilitation. Our unique portable devices enable physical activity as an integral part of the treatment. Patients as a result improve their blood circulation, regain flexibility and experience improved psychological well-being. \r\n',

    {   'sDescription':'Vertetrac was developed to bring relief to people suffering from lumbar spine related injuries and disorders including; herniated discs, lower back and sciatica (LBP) based on a new breakthrough concept. \r\n\r\nThe device is a patented ambulatory traction system offering an ambulatory treatment method as an alternative to surgery, body braces, or traction bed treatments.   What really sets Vertetrac apart from other lumbar spine treatments is its ability to enable traction in three dimensions (see diagram below). \r\nIn effect Vertetrac combines conservative traction with a horizontal force. It is this unique combination that enables simultaneous 3D treatment and asymmetrical features.Vertetrac has another main advantage - Treatment sessions are significantly shorter and can be submitted through minimal intervention with a patient\'s daily routine (less than 30 minutes per day). What’s more, patients wearing the device have the freedom to move and perform light activities during treatment including; walking, standing or sitting. \r\nVertetrac is so easy to use, patients enduring long-term care can easily be taught to administer self-treatment at home. Treatment and recovery, as a result, become more convenient and patients feel they have more control over their lives. Small compact size saves valuable clinic space – being a small and portable unit, the Vertetrac does not take up valuable space in the clinic or at home. Some Vertetrac users with chronic back problems carry a unit with them while travelling to continue treatment. ',

By doing so, Cervico2000™ breaks away from conventional neck braces and wall mounted devices to offer an autonomous solution that can be customized to fit patient\'s needs. \r\n\r\nThe key to the Cervico2000™\'s approach is its ability to operate both symmetric and asymmetric traction to the cervical spine. \r\n\r\nThe outcome of this unique combination is that chiropractic therapy or any other therapy treatment can be customized to meet each patient\'s needs. \r\nEffective, inexpensive, non-invasive treatment improves quality of life \r\n\r\nCervico2000™ is so simple to use - patients needing long-term care can easily administer self-treatment at home. Conveniently, treatment duration is shorter than other conventional treatments, requiring on average 15-20 minutes per day. As a result patients are no longer confined to time consuming solutions and regain control over their schedule and lives. \r\n\r\nPortable, space saving solution - Unlike pneumatic traction braces and wall-mounted devices, Cervico2000™ does not occupy valuable space in the clinic or home and does not require permanent installation of equipment. After the treatment session is completed, the Cervico2000™ can be placed in the carrying case and conveniently stored. \r\n',

    {   'sDescription':'The D.B.S. (Dynamic Brace System) is a patented system used for the treatment of idiopathic juvenile, adolescent and adult scoliosis.  Spinal curvature should not be diagnosed as scoliosis unless the curvature exceeds 10 degrees. Only curves greater than 10 degrees with structured changes including rotation should be diagnosed as idiopathic scoliosis.  The curve progression should be considered only with a minimum increase of 5 degrees on two sequential X-rays. \r\nInitially, the treatment with the D.B.S. is the same as with the Vertetrac.   In patients with curvatures of less than 20 degrees, we apply the D.B.S. treatment only when the patient suffers from continued low-back pain. The treatment is recommended for 30 minutes once a day until the elimination of the pain ( about 15 to 20 treatments). The control x-ray should be taken after 6 months.   In patients with a curve greater than 20 degrees when the scoliosis is progressive, daily treatments of 30 minutes with D.B.S. should be administered until the maturity of the child is reached. The traction power of 10 - 20 kg. applied from each side should be determined individually and according to the age and the constitution of each patient. \r\nIn patients with curvatures between 20 – 30 degrees, who have no pain or other complaints but have a tendency for progression we recommend treatment with the D.B.S. for 30 minutes, 2 or 3 times daily until maturity is reached and the patient remains under control for 2-3 years. \r\n',

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.
