The Meditrac Vertetrac is a compact, wearable traction device for the lower back. Instead of lying strapped to a traction table, the user wears the Vertetrac around the waist while standing and can then walk, sit or do light exercise during treatment.
It is designed for people with disc problems, sciatica and other lumbar disorders, including those who cannot tolerate traditional lying-down traction.
Three-dimensional traction
Applies vertical and horizontal forces – symmetrically or asymmetrically – to decompress the lumbar spine.
Natural posture
Fitted standing, with the spine in its natural lordotic curve.
Decompression plus movement
Traction reduces pressure in the discs while walking supports circulation and fluid exchange.
Freedom during treatment
No immobilisation: walk, stand, sit or follow your rehabilitation routine.
Short sessions
Around 30 minutes per session, with minimal interruption to daily life.
Active recovery
Users are encouraged to stay active during treatment.
Compact & portable
Takes no clinic floor space and can travel with you.
Clinic & home
After instruction by a therapist, patients can learn to use it at home.
