Inversion Units

Reverse gravity and relieve back pain and tension with Relax The Back's Inversion Table. Inverted stretching allows your body weight to decompress the spine, slightly increasing the space between vertebrae to relieve pressure on discs, ligaments and nerve roots.

'Medic-Sport' Apollo Inversion System by Kettler

Lack of exercise and strain on the back caused by repetitive of sedentary work are the main causes of poor posture leading to problems with the intervertebral disks. Muscular pain, tension and malformation of the spine are often the result. The spine is the central axis of the body and is surrounded by a 'corset' of muscles which has to be exercised regularly to give it support and flexibility. KETTLER'S 'Medic-Sport' program is designed to provide this essential movement and exercise. The goal of the Apollo Inversion System is to use upside-down relieving pressure on the intervertebral disks as well as preventing back pains and tenseness of the muscles. The 'Medic-Sport' Apollo Inversion System comes with: Quick setting of maximum angle of inclination Safety system prevents accidental tilting Size when set up: L = 140 cm, W = 76 cm, H = 216 cm

Saunders Cervical Home Traction

The best home cervical traction available

Since 1982, more than 40,000 health care providers have chosen the Saunders Cervical Traction Device to use in their clinics. But when their patients tried to use seated over-the- door traction at home, they...

Couldn't relax (traction applied while sitting has been shown to cause higher levels of muscle activity than supine traction, making the traction less effective)
Risked aggravation of the TMJ or "jaw joints" (because of forces applied to the jaw through the chin strap)
Were uncomfortable. Many patients had to return to the clinic for more costly cervical traction.

THE HOMETRAC:

Allows users to receive the benefits of traction in a relaxed position at a 15^o angle
Directs traction forces toward the occiput (back of the head) thereby preventing compression of the TMJ through the chin
Provides a comfortable and cost-effective option to continuing clinical traction treatments

FEATURES:

New pump design incorporates an easy "click into place" mechanism for pumping, sustaining and releasing the traction - it's easy to use and eliminates air leaks

Friction-free track and specially designed air cylinder allow smooth application of traction and stretching to the upper back and neck

Most users can position themselves in the device without assistance due to "easy-on" forehead strap and adjustment knobs

Gauge is calibrated in pounds and kilograms to provide feedback to the user and to promote consistency in treatment

Safety feature: Our unique pressure valve limits the amount of force to 50 pounds, and traction force can be released easily and immediately by the patient if necessary

Neck wedges are removable for easy cleaning or replacement

Vinyl head pad provides an easy to clean surface

Adjustable extension foot allows for additional traction angles of 20^o and 25^o

Includes instructional video and user's guide written for easy home traction
