We live in the 21st century where people have integrated their lives with technology. People appreciate the sense of confidence and convenience that technology provides. Same with our chiropractic offices. Implementing the iTrac® from Pivotal Health Solutions has been one of the best technology investments I have made for patient care in my office.

Since integrating iTrac® I have seen patient compliance go through the roof compared to the traditional cervical traction methods I previously used. The brilliant technology behind the iTrac® allows for patient comfort, patient safety, patient trust and most importantly, better patient results. The progressive increase in traction forces during each traction treatment build up at a rate that keeps the muscles from guarding, thus targeting the ligamentous tissues earlier and with more ease.

The red safety button is perhaps the most important piece of the machine. It gives the patient something to hold that allows them to feel in control and empowered. Let’s be honest, most people would rather not have to undergo traction. Fortunately, with our help, they understand how valuable and necessary it is for their overall health and function. Providing patients with what I call the “trust button” eases any potential anxiety which allows them to stay relaxed, get a better stretch and ultimately experience better results.

The device is fully adjustable to accommodate all cervical spine configurations; Y-axis distraction, severe anterior head syndrome, hypolordosis and kyphosis. iTrac® is a “plug and play” system and Pivotal Health Solutions provides excellent technical support and clinical training, allowing iTrac® to be seamlessly integrated with your existing clinical protocols quickly and easily. The system is easy to operate for doctors and staff alike. Setting up the device for each patient traction session takes merely seconds and once the treatment begins there is no more doctor or staff involvement needed until the session is complete. This allows for maximum efficiency when managing multiple patients in the clinic at one time.

The iTrac® is well worth the investment, your patients will thank you and in turn your practice will thank you too!
