UNDERSTANDING THE TEATMENT
The Knee on Trac is a patented, FDA-cleared mechanical decompression device specifically engineered for the knee joint. It applies a precisely controlled distraction force to separate the joint surfaces — creating negative pressure that draws in synovial fluid, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the natural repair of cartilage and soft tissue. It's the only technology of its kind designed exclusively for the knee.
Conditions We Treat
The Knee on Trac is clinically indicated for a wide range of degenerative and painful knee conditions. If you've been told surgery is your only option, this program may change that conversation entirely.
The most common reason for knee replacement surgery. Knee on Trac decompresses the joint, reduces bone-on-bone friction, and stimulates cartilage repair — often dramatically reducing pain and restoring function.
Meniscus damage causes joint compression and pain. Decompression reduces loading on the torn meniscus and creates the conditions needed for tissue healing — often avoiding surgery entirely.
Persistent swelling and synovitis keep the joint under pressure and starve cartilage of nutrients. Knee on Trac mechanically reduces this pressure and stimulates healthy synovial fluid production.
Compression behind the kneecap causes anterior knee pain with activity. Decompression relieves cartilage loading on the patella, reducing pain with stairs, squatting, and prolonged sitting.
Chronic ligament laxity and soft tissue damage contribute to joint instability and compression. Decompression reduces loading on damaged structures to allow proper healing.
Ongoing pain and stiffness after a knee replacement or arthroscopy is common. The Knee on Trac is effective for post-surgical patients experiencing residual joint compression and pain.
The Knee on Trac Protocol
The Knee on Trac works on the same principle that made spinal decompression so effective — negative pressure creates the ideal environment for tissue repair. But unlike spine tables, it was engineered exclusively for the unique biomechanics of the knee joint.

We assess your range of motion, joint loading patterns, inflammation levels, and imaging (X-ray or MRI if available) to determine the exact nature of your knee damage before beginning treatment.

You're seated comfortably with your knee positioned in the device. The Knee on Trac applies a precisely controlled upward distraction force that gently separates the femur from the tibia — decompressing the joint surfaces and the structures between them.

As the joint separates, negative intra-articular pressure is created — drawing synovial fluid into the joint space, nourishing the cartilage, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the natural repair of damaged structures.

Each session builds on the last. We combine decompression with cold laser therapy, targeted exercise, and nutritional support to maximize cartilage repair and restore full joint function over the course of your program.
Knee on Trac Technology
The Knee on Trac is the only patented device in the world designed specifically to decompress the knee joint. It was developed because no other technology could replicate what it does — create true intra-articular decompression in a controlled, repeatable way.
Unlike generic traction devices, the Knee on Trac was engineered around the anatomy of the knee — applying distraction in the precise vector that decompresses the tibio-femoral joint without loading the surrounding structures.
The negative pressure cycle actively stimulates synovial fluid production — the joint's natural lubricant and cartilage nutrient delivery system. Restoring this fluid is critical for cartilage health and pain reduction.
We combine Knee on Trac sessions with cold laser therapy (LLLT) to reduce inflammation and stimulate cellular repair, plus targeted rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles that protect the joint long-term.
Before You Consider Surgery
Total knee replacement is a major surgery with real risks and a long recovery — and it doesn't always deliver the pain relief patients expect. The Knee on Trac program offers a compelling alternative for many patients who have been told surgery is their only option.
Cartilage has a greater capacity for repair than most people — and most doctors —
believe. Given the right conditions, reduced compression, and restored nutrient flow
damaged knee tissue recovers. Our patients experience this every week.
Common Questions
No — most patients find sessions comfortable and even relieving during the treatment itself. You may feel a gentle decompression sensation as the joint separates, but there is no pain involved. Patients with severe bone-on-bone arthritis sometimes feel mild relief immediately after the first session.
Possibly, yes. Many patients who have been told they need a knee replacement have significant cartilage and meniscus damage but still retain enough joint structure to benefit from decompression. We'll evaluate your imaging and conduct a thorough examination to give you an honest assessment of whether this program can help before you commit to surgery.
Most programs consist of 12–20 sessions over 4–8 weeks depending on the severity of joint damage. After your evaluation, we'll provide a specific treatment plan with a clear timeline and expected outcome milestones so you know exactly what to expect from the start.
Yes — the Knee on Trac is effective for many patients with ongoing pain after knee arthroscopy, partial meniscectomy, or even total knee replacement. Post-surgical patients often have residual joint compression and inflammation that responds well to decompression therapy.
Injections are anti-inflammatory or lubricating in nature — they do not address joint compression or stimulate structural repair. Their effects are temporary and repeated injections can actually damage cartilage over time. The Knee on Trac creates the physical and biological conditions for the joint to heal — not just mask the pain temporarily.
For patients who complete the full program and follow the prescribed home exercise and lifestyle protocol, results are typically long-lasting. Maintaining a healthy body weight, strengthening the surrounding muscles, and avoiding high-impact loading are the keys to preserving your outcome long-term.
