Non-Surgical Treatment Device for Scoliosis by Meditrac

As the most common spinal deformity, scoliosis affects children, adolescents, and adults with approximately 500,000 American adults having scoliosis of over 30 degrees. This abnormal lateral curve of the spine is often overlooked until it becomes quite severe. Yet a 10-degree or more lateral curvature is considered to be diagnosed as scoliosis.

Scoliosis may be structural with definitive changes in the vertebrae, or postural, which is functional in origin. Idiopathic scoliosis has no definite cause, tends to run in families, and affects females about 8 times more often than males.

Conventional scoliosis treatment options often include lengthy traction therapy or surgery, and prescription pain medications to help alleviate discomfort. But what if there were a better, non-invasive way to treat scoliosis successfully within a much quicker time frame, with short, feel-good treatments you could even do in your own home? 

Meditrac’s patented D.B.S. Dynamic Brace System for Scoliosis fulfills that amazing possibility, making it a reality for hundreds of thousands of people around the world who live with scoliosis. 

Meditrac’s Decades of Groundbreaking Spinal Research

Established in 1992, Meditrac was founded by Dr. Ludwig Stabholz, a physician and surgeon who dedicated his professional life to the research and development of effective spinal treatments. Focused on determining the failure of conservative traction methods, Stabholz spent decades in the development of more efficacious non-surgical treatment options for spinal disorders.

His design prototype for the Vertetrac in 1991 combined with the publishing of his book, Low Back Disorders - Innovative Ambulatory Treatment and Self Treatment, revolutionized the Chiropractic and Orthopedic communities, and it was on these principles that Meditrac was founded.

Traction on the Move

The groundbreaking devices from Meditrac offer a novel approach to neck and back pain treatment. They enable rapid recovery without drugs, hospitalization, or surgery. Meditrac’s proprietary treatment concept, “Traction on the Move”, is based on four decades of Stabholz’s research and continues to develop with a team of Orthopedic Surgeons. “Traction on the Move” combines decompression with physical therapy and has been proven to yield positive results for those that suffer from cervical or lumbar spinal disorders, including scoliosis. Featured in multiple research publications, Meditrac’s innovative devices have been tested in studies that demonstrate the efficacy of motion during treatment.

Meditrac’s wearable Vertetrac, Cervico2000, and DBS portable decompression solutions facilitate rapid rehabilitation by incorporating “Traction on the Move”, which combines the benefits of freedom of movement with portable decompression. Meditrac’s devices utilize 3-Dimensional traction, which has been shown to increase blood flow and fluid exchange to the affected areas of the spine which leads to recovery.

Patients are encouraged to walk freely and perform light physical activity while wearing Meditrac devices. Treatment sessions should only be 15-30 minutes. Unlike braces, Meditrac devices are not meant to be worn all day. The device must initially be fitted by a healthcare provider, who can demonstrate how to attach the device. The device may then be taken home to continue therapy between clinic visits in order to maximize recovery.

Who can benefit from using the Meditrac D.B.S.?

The patented D.B.S. (Dynamic Brace System) from Meditrac is an attachment to the Vertetrac device. The D.B.S applies a horizontal traction force to the apex of the spinal curve in a patient with scoliosis. Several factors must be taken into account when using the DBS including location and degree of the curvature, curve progression, and age of the patient.

The D.B.S is recommended for use with Physician guidance and prescription. It is indicated for spinal curvatures between 10-40 degrees with structured changes, including rotation. Two 30-minute treatments daily are needed for patients living with painful scoliosis.

What Customers Are Saying About Meditrac

"I have been using the Meditrac brace for one year with alarming results. I combined the Meditrac brace with specific isolated exercises, specific stretching, massage, trigger point ultrasound and forced manipulation. One or two of these procedures alone did not usually help, however when they are all combined in one visit, then the results are shocking. Usually within six months or less. My protocol will soon be published in literature. If you are interested in treating the most severe cases with phenomenal results. Then do your research and purchase a Meditrac brace today.” - Louis Salavgio BS, DC, CCRD, PT Associate Professor University of St. Augustine School of Physical and Occupational Therapy Doctoral Program

It does not only reduce symptoms of disc-related conditions such as decreased pain and numbness but also enhances functionality of patients. It allows them to be more mobile and more confident in our service in return. As a physical therapist, I am just greatly amazed how we have managed to decrease Scoliosis curvatures by using Meditrac products along with chiropractic adjustments and scoliosis specific exercises without the aid of surgery.” - Edalyn Mijares - Rehab Team Leader - American Chiropractic Clinic
