"I like being able to apply my skills rather than being a technician.
To apply treatments specifically, to fine tune decompression to the disc in question - to apply what I feel the patient needs. Freedom to laterally position the patient and decompress in the supine or prone position makes all the difference in the world!
Hands-
on or computerized treatment -however you need it.Palpate, under long axis decompression, feel and view the pounds of force being applied, to feel the interspinous space being opened and decompressed - to go as far as I need to go." - Dr. Michael J. D'Arienzo
Doctors comment on their experience with the ExtenTrac® Elite. Please view video above.
" I spent months researching the various decompression machines on the market. The one which far impressed me over all the rest in terms of quality of construction, versatility, and customer support was the ExtenTrac® Elite made by Advanced Back Technologies Inc. It is the only machine available today that I am aware of that allows for a virtually-infinite number of possible patient positions to accommodate each individuals needs.
Rather than embracing a shake-and-bake method of treatment administration, the ExtenTrac® Elite with M3D® technology (multi-directional disc decompression) requires the clinician to use his knowledge, judgment,and skill to formulate a specific treatment protocol that is as unique to each patient as each patient's pathology is to their spine. The result is greater patient comfort and superior outcomes....The machine is a marvel of innovation and is made using the highest quality components available today." - Dr. S.
"Clinicians are constantly searching for and attempting to develop methodologies for safe and successful alleviation of pain in treating specific low back conditions. Therefore, I would like to address one conation... disc pathology/ The ExtenTrac allows the professional to empower the patient to become an active partner in this therapy. By using the ExtenTrac and instituting a medically approved regimen in conjunction with modalities and corrective exercises, patients are able to obtain measurable improvement." - Lloyd R. Stein, Physical Therapist
