EXTENTRAC ELITE

Extentrac® Elite is a patented, FDA cleared, multi-functional therapeutic device for treatment of patients suffering from severe low back pain and sciatica due to:

Protruding or Herniated Intervertebral Discs
Acute Facet Problems
Degenerative Disc Disease

The World's Most Versatile Therapeutic Device

Beginning with the concept that no specific treatment method, patient position, or protocol fits all patient needs, Extentrac® Elite has been developed to provide the broadest range of capabilities, including:

Extentrac® Elite can uniquely position the patient in spinal flexion, extension, lateral flexion spine positioning as part of decompression is a “key” technical advantage of the M3D treatment protocol.
M3D positioning enables improved treatment specificity enabling targeted decompression and mobilization to the selected disc level.
M3D is performed in the supine or prone position, enabling other evidence-based protocols.

Hands-On Manual Therapy and Fully Automated Decompression

Unlike traditional decompression devices which are designed to be solely “hands-off”, Extentrac® Elite is designed to be a clinician’s tool, allowing for manual “hands-on” therapy or fully automated decompression.

M3D (Multi-DirectionaL Disc Decompression) The Technology That Separates This Spinal Decompression Device From Others

Unlike basic linear or axial tables, Extentrac® Elite's M3D System enables supine or prone patient positioning in flexion, extension, and lateral flexion - to enable spinal decompression in pain-relieving and more anatomically correct positions while allowing active mobilization with decompression.

M3D positions help enable inclusion of other important evidence-based protocols.

Other protocols capable of being performed with the Extentrac® Elite M3D system include: flexion-distraction, therapeutic exercise, extension-flexion exercise protocols, spinal mobilization and range-of motion activities.

Traditional decompression devices have only one decompression system delivering power distraction capabilities. Extentrac® Elite uniquely provided two decompression systems.

All procedures utilize the leg decompression or the lumbar decompression system - each providing added therapeutic freedom and treatment versatility.

* Decompression is defined as: “unloading the spine with distraction and positioning”.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much time is taken for each treatment?

A: Some patients are best treated with manual therapy, some automated decompression, and some both. Treatment times typically vary from 10 minutes to 20 minutes, with the overall average being approximately 15 minutes.

Q: How many treatments are typical for each patient?

A: The average for a given clinician will depend upon the patient diagnosis mix with the overall average being approximately 12. The typical range is 10-20 treatments per patient, with 20 being for those patients presenting more severe pathology, such as spinal stenosis.

Q: Why is M3D patient positioning important for disc decompression therapy?

A: With Extentrac® Elite, patient positioning for treatment goes beyond the traditional "one position fits all" concept. While the linear axial position is an appropriate treatment position for certain spinal conditions, the vertebral column is a three-dimensional structure housing a network of spinal nerves. In many cases, the typical herniation/protrusion which impinges upon a nerve root is not central, but is lateral or medial. Therefore achieving the optimal antalgia position prior to and during decompression often requires three-dimensional positioning. For example, a patient presenting a lateral disc herniation impinging upon a descending nerve assumes a position of antalgia, in which flexion and lateral flexion reduces their severe back and leg pain. In this case, application of strictly linear axial decompression forces the herniation into the nerve root during treatment, impinging upon the nerve and causing pain. Utilizing M3D patient positioning to maintain the antalgia position prior to and during decompression allows for decompression with significantly reduced pain and irritation to the nerve root during treatment.

As a board-certified, chiropractic specialist in non-surgical orthopedics and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with 50 years of clinical experience and 30 years of teaching the use of manual medicine technologies, I am pleased to offer my opinions on the Spine Care Technologies’ “Extentrac® Elite”.

It is my opinion that the ability to reduce the gravitational effects on the patient’s spine is one of the most valuable Extentrac® Elite features. The gravitational protocols allow decompression of the spine and normalizes joint position without pain, while stretching the myofascial tissues.

The combination of Extentrac® Elite features enables clinicians to treat patients without ergonomic strain, which may prevent career ending injuries. The hands-on manual therapy allows the clinician specific intervention for the treatment of joint and muscle conditions without causing clinician injuries. The automated decompression feature eliminates any chance of clinician injury. In addition, patients with fear of back cracking can enjoy relief of back pain supplied by the Extentrac Elite with silent relief.

Consultant and Accessories Specialist

JAMES KREIGER

In his former years, Jim valiantly served his country as a member of the US Marine Corps. After his service he attended the University of Baltimore while working for a small startup imaging company. He was their 3rd employee. He majored and graduated with a BS degree in Business Management with a minor in Marketing.

His academic prowess and the experience he gained working, perfectly positioned him to become COO. He grew the company to become one of the largest imaging facilities in the country, with 300 employees across 11 offices from Virginia to Massachusetts. Sales grew to over $350m and his skills were not simply relegated to numbers as he also deftly navigated all 11 offices to function seamlessly as one cohesive unit.

In 2001, with the advent of the digital X-Ray world, business declined rapidly as their model could no longer compete. Within 6-months, the doors were shuttered.

Not to be deterred, Jim pivoted and repositioned himself because after all, customer service was not dead. He decided to start his own company. Like most solopreneurs, Jim quickly realized he needed support and reached out to an old, trusted friend, Michael Tokash. Michael worked at the old company and had the sales and service experience and expertise he needed and which he was no expert. Michael was offered a partnership which he accepted. As they say the rest is history.
