See how ProtecSpine outperforms traditional decompression tables, inversion systems, and roller equipment in delivering effective, comfortable spinal decompression.
When it comes to spinal decompression, chiropractors and rehab professionals have many options but not all of them provide the same level of patient comfort and clinical results. Protec’s seated decompression system offers a modern alternative to traditional tables and equipment, helping practitioners expand treatment capabilities while keeping sessions simple, safe, and effective.
Decompression tables have long been a standard tool in chiropractic and rehabilitation practices. But for many patients, lying flat on a table for extended sessions can be uncomfortable, or even impossible, due to pain, mobility issues, or post-surgical limitations. These tables are also bulky, expensive, and require significant training to operate effectively.
Protec changes that. Its seated design makes decompression more accessible for a wider range of patients, including those who cannot tolerate traditional tables. Setup is straightforward, treatments are easier to administer, and the system requires far less space in a clinic. Most importantly, patients experience targeted cervical or lumbar decompression with greater comfort, which leads to improved compliance and better outcomes.
Traditional traction tables use linear pulling forces to stretch the spine. While this can relieve pressure in the spine, it lacks adaptability and can lack precision. Patients who struggle to lie flat may experience discomfort during setup or treatment, and results can vary widely depending on technique and equipment.
Protec takes a more refined approach. Its seated spinal decompression machine allows clinicians to isolate cervical or lumbar regions with controlled, repeatable movement. The upright position promotes comfort and natural spinal alignment, making it easier for patients to relax, which is essential for achieving effective decompression. The result is a more modern, efficient alternative to legacy traction equipment.
Roller tables and chiropractic roller beds are popular for relaxation and soft-tissue mobilization, but they do not create true spinal decompression. The gentle rolling action helps with circulation and muscle tension, yet it only affects surface tissues and joint mobility not intradiscal pressure.
Protec goes deeper. Its dynamic, seated design gently unloads the spine to relieve disc compression at its source. Patients experience measurable decompression and longer-lasting relief, while practitioners can document progress and adjust treatment variables for each individual.
Inversion tables for back pain are often marketed to consumers as a way to “decompress” the spine, but they’re rarely suitable for clinical use. Many patients cannot tolerate full or partial inversion due to dizziness, sinus pressure, elevated blood pressure, or vestibular discomfort. For others, inversion provides only brief, generalized relief with little ability to target specific spinal segments.
Protec delivers true decompression without inversion. Patients remain upright and secure while precise mechanical support relieves targeted areas of spinal compression. It’s a professional-grade system designed for daily clinical use. This offers chiropractors and rehabilitation professionals a safer, more effective tool than consumer-level inversion devices.
Traditional decompression and traction systems have served their purpose, but modern clinics need tools that improve both patient comfort and clinical efficiency. Protec represents the next step in spinal decompression by combining advanced engineering with practical usability.
By choosing Protec, practitioners can expand their treatment offerings, improve patient satisfaction, and modernize their clinic with equipment that reflects current best practices in spinal care.
