Back On Trac (BOT) is a safe, gentle non-surgical alternative treatment for neck pain from disc herniation and disc bulge, spinal stenosis, arthritis, and nerve pain.  BOT is an effective, non-surgical spinal traction system designed to relieve pressure on the spine in a gentle, relaxing way.  Spinal decompression therapy with Back On Trac works by gently increasing the space between the bones of the neck, which helps reduce pressure within the spinal discs. As pressure decreases, oxygen, water, and nutrients are drawn back into the discs, supporting their natural healing process. The therapy also mobilizes stiff neck joints, tones the muscles that support the spine, and improves circulation, all of which help restore normal function and reduce inflammation. This technology allows your spine to return to a more natural, healthy state without injections, medication, or surgery.

The system applies controlled stretching to the spine to decompress the spinal discs and reduce irritation on the surrounding nerves and joints. This process helps relieve pain while improving flexibility, circulation, and overall spinal health. For many patients, the experience is so comfortable that they relax deeply and some fall asleep during the session.

Living with severe unrelenting neck pain is exhausting, physically, emotionally, and mentally.  Many find it affects every part of their lives: their ability to work, sleep, do normal everyday movements, exercise, and drive. When your pain is relentless and other treatments haven’t worked, surgery can start to seem like the only option. But before you take that step, it’s important to know that there are non-surgical treatments that can offer significant relief without the risks, long recovery times, or potential complications associated with spine surgery including what’s known as "failed back surgery syndrome".  

One of the most effective of these non-surgical options is Back On Trac (BOT) spinal decompression therapy.  Many patients that were told that surgery was their only option found that BOT helped them avoid it, allowing them to get rid of pain, regain mobility, and enjoy life again.

BOT is shown to be effective in treating a wide range of spinal conditions, including herniated or bulging discs in the neck, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, arthritis, and chronic neck pain. 

Each session is personalized to your body and your condition. Your doctor will review your MRI, X-rays, and exam findings to identify which disc or area of your neck is the source of your pain.

During treatment, you’ll lie comfortably and the Back On Trac system then cycles through gentle pull and rest phases of neck stretching, which are programmed specifically for your needs. Each session lasts about 15 minutes, and you are monitered throughout to ensure your comfort and safety. The treatment is completely non-invasive and pain-free.  Most patients describe it as a gentle stretch.

Research supports the effectiveness of spinal decompression therapy. The Shealy–Borgmeyer study finds that non-surgical disc decompression was 92% effective in relieving pain caused by disc problems. Another study, by Odell, reveals that 80% of patients experienced at least 50% pain relief four years after treatment, with 92% resuming normal activities. These results strongly show that decompression therapy not only provides short-term relief but also offers lasting improvement.

Most patients begin to notice improvement after just three to six sessions, with significant relief developing as treatment continues. Because the therapy is gentle, there is no downtime or recovery period, meaning you can resume your normal daily activities right away, which is not possible after neck spine surgery. In addition, Back On Trac can be safely combined with other therapies such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, or massage to increase your progress.

If you’re suffering from severe neck pain and are considering surgery, please take the time to explore this gentle, effective alternative. Back On Trac helps countless patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and return to pain-free living, without invasive procedures or long-term side effects.
