What Is Knee-on-Trac Joint Decompression?

Knee-on-Trac is a knee decompression system that applies gentle, controlled traction to the knee joint. The goal is to unload the joint by reducing compression between the thigh bone and shin bone.

Positioning. Your leg rests on the device, and padded straps secure the lower leg so the traction is directed through the knee.

Treatment. The device applies controlled traction that creates a gentle stretch across the joint. The clinician sets the treatment for your condition.

What it is intended to do. Unloading the knee is intended to reduce joint pressure, ease stiffness and make movement more comfortable.

What you may feel. Most patients feel a mild pulling or stretching sensation around the knee. Let the clinician know if anything feels uncomfortable.

Knee Conditions We Evaluate

Knee pain can come from joint wear, soft-tissue irritation or an old injury. Identifying the source helps us decide whether knee decompression, another treatment or a referral is the right next step.

Arthritis and Joint Degeneration

  • Gradual wear of the cartilage inside the knee
  • Stiffness, swelling and grinding
  • Pain with standing, walking or stairs

Meniscus and Cartilage Concerns

  • Pain with twisting or deep bending
  • Catching or locking sensations
  • Suspected tears may need imaging or specialist review

Overuse and Tendon Irritation

  • Common in runners and active adults
  • Pain around or below the kneecap
  • Chronic tendon pain may be evaluated for shockwave therapy

Ligament and Soft-Tissue Strain

  • Sprains and strains from sudden movement
  • Instability needs further evaluation
  • Decompression does not repair torn ligaments

Knee Symptoms We Evaluate

We evaluate the symptoms that make everyday movement harder, including:

  • Knee stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting
  • Pain when walking, particularly over longer distances
  • Difficulty using stairs, going up or down
  • Pain getting up from a chair or out of a car
  • Reduced range of motion when bending or straightening the knee
  • Activity-related knee pain during exercise, sports or long periods of standing

These symptoms can have several causes, so the exam focuses on finding which structures are involved.

Who May Be a Candidate for Knee-on-Trac Treatment?

You may be a candidate if your evaluation shows knee pain related to arthritis, joint degeneration or joint stiffness.

  • You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis or joint degeneration
  • Stiffness or pain limits walking, stairs or standing
  • You want to explore conservative options before considering surgery

Recent knee surgery, a fracture, a knee replacement, significant instability or an acute injury requires additional evaluation and may rule out treatment.

Non-Surgical Treatment for Knee Arthritis and Joint Degeneration

Knee osteoarthritis develops as the cartilage that cushions the joint gradually wears down. This can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced mobility, and it often makes weight-bearing activities like walking, standing and climbing stairs harder.

Non-surgical care focuses on reducing joint stress and improving how the knee moves. Knee-on-Trac decompression is intended to ease symptoms and improve function. It does not regrow cartilage or repair torn structures.

Reduce Pressure in the Knee Joint

  • • Gentle traction unloads the joint surfaces
  • • Aims to ease pain during weight-bearing activity
  • • Settings are chosen for your knee

Ease Stiffness

  • • Controlled stretch across the joint
  • • May make bending and straightening easier
  • • Progress is measured by range of motion

Improve Everyday Movement

  • • Focus on walking, stairs and standing
  • • May be paired with strengthening exercises
  • • The plan is adjusted based on your response

A Conservative Option

  • • No incisions or injections
  • • Performed in our Hamlin clinic
  • • An option to explore before considering surgery

Realistic Expectations

  • • Results vary by patient and severity
  • • Does not regrow cartilage or repair tears
  • • Progress is reassessed throughout care

What to Expect at Your First Visit

  1. Knee history. We ask when your pain started, about past injuries or surgeries, and which activities are hardest.
  2. Previous treatment. We review what you have tried, such as bracing, physical therapy, medication or injections.
  3. Knee examination. We check swelling, range of motion, strength and joint stability, and watch how you walk, squat and use stairs.
  4. Imaging review. We review any knee X-ray or MRI reports and let you know if new imaging is needed.
  5. Treatment plan. If Knee-on-Trac fits, we explain the recommended plan and how progress will be measured.

Adding Laser or Shockwave Therapy to Knee Treatment

Some patients receive other treatments alongside knee decompression when it is clinically appropriate. Class IV laser therapy may be used for pain and inflammation in the tissue around the knee.

Piezowave shockwave therapy may be considered when a chronic tendon problem, such as patellar tendon pain, is also present.

Knee Pain Treatment FAQs

1What is Knee-on-Trac?
Knee-on-Trac is a knee decompression system that applies gentle, controlled traction to the knee joint. It is intended to unload the joint and reduce compression between the thigh bone and shin bone. At our Hamlin clinic, it is the primary technology used for non-surgical knee pain treatment.
2Can knee arthritis be treated without surgery?
Many patients with knee arthritis explore conservative options before considering surgery. Non-surgical care may include knee decompression, exercise, laser therapy and other treatments. How much it helps depends on the severity of your arthritis and your response to care.
3What knee conditions do you evaluate?
We evaluate knee osteoarthritis, joint degeneration, stiffness, overuse and tendon irritation, and soft-tissue strain. Meniscus and ligament concerns are also evaluated, and some may need imaging or a specialist referral.
4Does knee decompression hurt?
Most patients feel a mild pulling or stretching sensation around the knee rather than pain. Let the clinician know if you feel discomfort so the treatment can be adjusted.
5How long does treatment take?
Visit length and the overall length of care depend on your condition and treatment plan. Your provider will explain what to expect after your evaluation.
6Do I need knee imaging?
Not always. If you have a knee X-ray or MRI, bring the report to your first visit. Your provider will let you know if imaging is needed to confirm your diagnosis.
7How many visits may be recommended?
Knee decompression is usually delivered as a series of visits. The number depends on your diagnosis, symptom severity and how you respond. We recommend a plan after your evaluation and reassess your progress.
8Can laser therapy be combined with knee decompression?
Yes, when it is clinically appropriate. Class IV laser therapy may be used for pain and inflammation in the tissue around the knee alongside decompression. Your provider decides whether a combined plan makes sense for you.
