HOW THE HIPTRAC WORKS
Your HipTrac is a pneumatic device that provides home hip (acetabulofemoral)
traction in an easy to use, comfortable, and effective way. It is designed to
replicate traction treatment you may receive from your health care provider.
The HipTrac is designed to use traction to relieve pain, increase joint mobility,
and relax surrounding musculature. It is important to follow your health care
provider’s recommendations precisely with regard to treatment force
(correlating to the pressure reading on the hand pump gauge), usage,
position, and treatment duration.
Your health care provider will provide you with specific directions on
the proper use of the HipTrac for your condition. Do not deviate from
his/her directions.
It is important to understand that pain is a symptom of an underlying condition,
and the HipTrac device has no curative effect on the cause of your pain.
Therefore, home hip traction is not a substitute for proper medical evaluation
and treatment, but rather a supplement and/or extension of them.
CAUTION: A slight stretching sensation and/or some mild
discomfort may occur during the use of this traction device.
However, at no time should you feel any pain. If pain is increased
in your foot, ankle, knee, hip, lower back or any other location,
immediately discontinue the use of this traction device and seek the
counsel of a medical professional and/or your health care provider.
Do not begin to reuse this traction device until you have consulted
your health care provider. The application of excessive force or the
improper application of traction may result in additional injury or may
aggravate a pre-existing medical condition.
