The Company
About
Meditrac’s mission is to bring relief to those who suffer from spinal pain and improve their quality of life. With clinically-proven, safe, and cost-effective medical devices Meditrac provides the professional community with the tools to reduce the need for painkillers and invasive spinal procedures. Founded on decades of experience in treating patients with back and neck pain, Meditrac’s best use strategies are still undergoing constant updating and refining.
Company
Meditrac develops and produces innovative ambulatory decompression devices for the non-invasive treatment of spinal disorders in the neck and lower back. Designed with this novel approach to back and neck pain treatment, Meditrac devices have been clinically proven to decrease the prevalence of invasive medical procedures, reduce dependence on pain medication, and actively facilitate healing and recovery.
Meditrac’s proprietary treatment concept, “Traction on the Move,” was developed by a team of orthopedic surgeons. The “Traction on the Move” concept elevates traditional decompression through the integration of physical activity, thus promoting rapid healing and rehabilitation.
A tailored rehab program is an integral part of the treatment. This two pronged approach of decompression therapy alongside a tailored rehab program for the cervical or lumbar spine is a proven combination. Patients diagnosed with scoliosis can also benefit from this program.
From adolescents to the elderly, Meditrac devices have successfully treated a wide variety of clinical presentations. Secondary benefits from the use of Meditrac devices include improved blood circulation, increased flexibility, and enhanced psychological well-being.
Meditrac products are used to treat a wide range of spinal disorders including sciatica, herniated discs, whiplash injury, degenerative changes, and spinal stenosis due to disc herniation. Meditrac products have been distributed worldwide since 1992.
Meditrac products have been widely featured in research publications including studies on treatment efficacy and the mechanism of motion during treatment.

Why Us
Walk your way to recovery
Meditrac’s two portable decompression units, the Vertetrac and the Cervico2000, work seamlessly with the ‘Traction-on-the-Move’ treatment protocol to provide patients with effective rehabilitation and rapid relief. Developed by a team of orthopedic surgeons, Meditrac’s solution combines the traditional benefits of decompression therapy with full freedom of movement to jumpstart the healing process of the spine at its source.
Why Traction on the move?
During treatment, patients wear the devices which deliver sustained distraction, while ambulating on a treadmill or the treatment floor. Research shows that when the spine is in full motion, patients are subjected to an increase in blood flow and fluid exchange, which are essential for spinal healing.
A customized traction treatment
Meditrac patients can move freely, walk (and are encouraged to do so), and even perform light physical activity while receiving traction. Meditrac devices are easily fitted onto the patient’s body (by the patient or medical provider) and are fully adjustable to fit most body sizes and shapes. No Meditrac patients experience restricted, unnatural, or sustained supine positioning.
Results
The results speak for themselves. With daily treatment sessions of 15-30 minutes’ duration, patients can be pain free and recovered within two weeks. To date, thousands of patients have successfully recovered from back or neck pain without medication or surgery.

Our History
Dr. Ludwig Stabholz, a graduate of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Warsaw, was the founder of Meditrac. He was pressed into service during World War II; an event which would unknowingly form the basis of his professional career. Appointed as the department head of surgery in the Polish Army Hospital, Dr. Stabholz was forced to treat, among others, the aching back of an S.S. officer.
Born in Warsaw in 1911, Dr. Stabholz survived the war largely because his skills as a physician were valued. He immigrated to Israel in 1950, and dedicated his professional life to the research and development of spinal treatment. He worked as a back disorder specialist in both public and private medical institutions. For many years, Dr. Stabholz’s areas of research focused on likely causes of the failure of conservative traction methods, and the development of non-surgical solutions for treating spinal disorders.
By 1991, Dr. Stabholz had designed the prototype for the Vertetrac. This innovative device was the distillation of his years of research and field experience and would later become Meditrac’s flagship product. The following year Dr. Stabholz’s book, “Low Back Disorders – Innovative Ambulatory Treatment and Self Treatment,” was published. This seminal work had a great influence on the orthopedic and chiropractic communities. It is upon these principles that Meditrac was founded in 1992.
By the year 2000, Dr. Arieh Grober took over the management of Meditrac Spinal Center in Tel Aviv. Dr. Grober, an orthopedic surgeon with impressive experience, was also entrusted to oversee the medical research programs and product development teams that are at the core of Meditrac products.
Dr. Stabholz passed away in 2007, leaving records of nearly eight decades of detailed research on the “traction on the move” concept he propagated and championed.
Our Future
Our researchers and advisors are committed to delivering a revolutionary therapy concept that benefits health care professionals and their patients worldwide.
Recent research efforts have resulted in the next generation of the Vertetrac, Meditrac’s lumbar spine device. Intensive product development has allowed Meditrac to produce a more affordable and space-saving version. The Meditrac product line also includes the Cervico2000 for the cervical spine, and the D.B.S. system for Scoliosis.
The devices that are currently available for purchase through Meditrac are the 5th generation of the Vertetrac, the 2nd generation of the Cervico 2000, and the 2nd generation of DBS.
