"I have had a lot of success with this device, prescribing Pronex™ for over 400
patients. Before deciding on surgery, particularly for elderly and high risk
patients, I commonly prescribe a 2x day regimen for at least six weeks to
determine if traction will relieve the pain. In many cases it does. I get paid
to operate but this is a very good device that can help some patients avoid
the need for invasive surgery."

"Patients with tension headaches with a cervical component, especially
chronic users of analgesic or sedative medications, may be helped by the
Pronex™. This device may enhance or shorten P. T. visits and replace medications."

"Perhaps the most dramatic finding is that, unlike many cervical traction
devices, the Pronex™ does not tend to pull the spine into a straight line;
instead, it offers even spacing between the vertebrae and avoids jamming
trauma in the anterior muscles and disk spaces."

"The Pronex™ unit was the only successful application of cervical traction
for one of my complicated patients with the diagnosis of cervical discogenic
spondylosis with marked myofascial irritability and right C6 radiculopathy.
Therapy work with this patient was prolonged and quite slow secondary to
the extreme tissue hyperirritability and severe pain. At one point there was
serious consideration for surgical intervention given the difficulty of this
patient's condition and the significant impairment to her quality of life. The
Pronex™ trial was so successful that it allowed her to resume the
requirements of her career with much greater ease and comfort."

"We will use this device in our presentation on cervical dysfunction and
treatment. This is an ingenious device."
Associate Professor - Washington
"From these encouraging initial results we have concluded that Pronex™ use
is a very beneficial adjunct to conservative management for patients with a
variety of cervical spine conditions. Especially significant is the apparent
success we have experienced using this device with patients exhibiting
chronic pain of spinal origin."
Associate Professor - University of Kentucky
"A few months ago I had the good fortune of evaluating the Pronex™ cervical
traction unit during a trial period at our clinic and was most impressed with
both its effectiveness and ease of use for the patient. The patient controlled
pressure level eliminates the fear associated with most over the door home
units and prevents the common side effect of TMJ pain."
P.T. - California
"Thank you for the Pronex™ supine cervical pump traction units you sent to
our facility for clinical trial. We have been using the Pronex™ for our patients
with neck pain and headache with good success. Therapists report using the
Pronex™ to replace manual traction as well. Therapists also report that the
Pronex™ is successful in relieving tension headache through pressure on the
occiput. The portability and ease of use of the Pronex™ make it a valuable
addition to our department."
P. T. Director - Ohio
"We have been amazed with the almost instant acceptance of this medical
equipment by therapists and doctors. We have to work hard just to keep up
with the demand for the Pronex™. Even the insurance company representatives who have seen the Pronex™ are excited about its potential."
