How Knee on Trac Works
Gentle Traction
The device applies controlled decompression to your knee joint.
Increased Space
Creates negative pressure within the joint, allowing fluids and nutrients to flow.
Pain Relief
Reduced compression means less pain and inflammation.
Improved Mobility
As pressure decreases, range of motion typically improves.
Each session takes about 10–15 minutes. Most patients find it relaxing — some even doze off. You walk in and walk out with no downtime.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for Knee on Trac if you:
- Have chronic knee pain lasting more than 3 months
- Want to avoid or delay knee replacement surgery
- Haven’t found relief with physical therapy, medications, or injections
- Have been told you have arthritis or “bone-on-bone” knees
- Want a non-surgical, drug-free treatment option
- Are active and want to maintain your mobility
Knee on Trac is not right for everyone. Patients with active infections, recent fractures, severe osteoporosis, or certain vascular conditions may not be candidates. Dr. Gibson evaluates every patient individually during your free first visit to determine whether decompression therapy is appropriate for your specific situation.
Knee on Trac vs. Knee Replacement Surgery
| Knee on Trac | Surgery | |
|---|---|---|
| Incisions | None | Yes |
| Anesthesia | None | Required |
| Hospital stay | None | 1–3 days |
| Recovery time | None – walk out same day | 3–6 months |
| Physical therapy required | No | Yes, months |
| Surgical risks | None | Infection, blood clots, etc. |
| Approximate cost | Fraction of surgery | $30,000–$50,000+ |
Surgery is sometimes necessary, but many patients benefit from trying conservative treatments first.
What Results Can You Expect?
Results vary by patient, but many people notice improvement within the first few sessions. A typical treatment plan involves 12 sessions over 6–8 weeks. Some patients experience dramatic pain reduction, while others see more gradual improvement. Factors that influence outcomes include the severity of your condition, how long you've had symptoms, your overall health, and your commitment to any recommended home care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Knee on Trac hurt?
No. Most patients find the treatment relaxing and comfortable. You’ll feel gentle traction on your knee, but it should not be painful. Many patients read, use their phone, or simply relax during treatment.
How is this different from knee injections?
Knee on Trac is a mechanical treatment that addresses the root cause of pain – joint compression. Injections (cortisone, hyaluronic acid, PRP) provide temporary symptom relief but don’t create space in the joint or address mechanical issues.
Will insurance cover this?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Many patients choose to pay out-of-pocket because the treatment is affordable compared to surgery. We accept HSA/FSA cards, and our team can help you understand your options.
What if I’ve been told I need knee replacement?
Knee on Trac is designed for patients like you. Many of our patients were candidates for surgery but wanted to try a non-surgical option first. Even if you have “bone-on-bone” arthritis, decompression therapy may provide relief and help you delay or avoid surgery.
How long do results last?
Results vary, but many patients experience relief for months or years after completing their treatment series. Some patients return for periodic “maintenance” sessions to sustain their results.
