## Indications for use
The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices provide traction and mobilization of skeletal structures and skeletal muscles. The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices provide a treatment in static, intermittent, progressive, regressive and cycling distraction forces to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, hip, wrist, shoulder). Therapeutic distraction can be applied in a variety of programmable patterns, cycles and functions. The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices may be used to relieve peripheral radiation/sciatica and pain associated with: Protruding discs Bulging discs Herniated discs Degenerative disc disease Posterior facet syndrome Acute facet problems Radicular pain Prolapsed discs Spinal root impingement Hypomobility Degenerative joint disease Facet syndrome Compressions fractures Joint pain Discogenic pain The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices achieve these effects through decompression of intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning.
