## Indications for use
The Triton/ Tru-Trac/TX/Triton DTS Traction devices provide traction and mobilization of skeletal structures and skeletal muscles. The Triton/ Tru-Trac/TX/Triton DTS 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/ Triton DTS Traction devices with the optional EMG (a.k.a. sEMG) biofeedback feature 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 EMG (a.k.a. sEMG) Determination of the activation magnitude and timing of muscles for: a) retraining of muscle activation b) coordination of muscle activation Determination of the force produced by muscle for control and maintenance of muscle contractions Relaxation muscle training Muscle re-education
