Description
Computerized Spinal Decompression & Mobilization System
World’s standard for spinal treatment
Non-surgical spine rehab treatment device.
Spine MT K-1 is a device with multiple functions designed to treat patients’ discs by the area and type. Through feedback between the device and the patient, it is possible to control faster than the body’s neural response and minimizes muscle tension during treatment which creates a strong negative pressure between the spinal spaces. Yet, it is a system allowing a comfortable and subtle treatment.
With application of bio-mechanical and medical mechanism, the system enables 3D treatment by setting the lesion, according to the direction and type of disc hernia. Spine-MT K-1 is the world’s standard for spinal treatment. It does not only relieve the symptoms, but also resolves the underlying problems of spinal diseases.

What is Decompression Treatment?
Decompression therapy
Traction is the process in which two adjacent spinal segments are pulled apart in Y-axis, resulting in decreased or opposition forces. In short, decompression is the result of traction.
An effective decompression force should beable to separate spinal segments to at least 3mm.
The following get involved in traction : Vertebrae, disc, muscles & tendons, ligaments & capsules and nerve roots.
Spinal traction is a form of decompression therapy that relieves pressure on the spine.
It can be performed manually or mechanically.
Spinal traction is used to treat herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, and many other back conditions.
However, Spinal Decompression therapy is different and far more advanced than traction.

Difference between Traction and Decompression
Decompression therapy
Difference between conventional traction and decompression
Traction
Regular traction stretches your spine and muscles simultaneously.
But if you only stretch the spine, your body naturally “braces” for the next stretch, limiting the effectiveness of the treatment.
The “overall stretching” commonly used in traction can also trigger painful muscle spasms.
Decompression
Spinal Decompression therapy is different from conventional spinal traction because it alternates between stretching and relaxation.
The relaxation stages trick your body into staying relaxed and therefore maximizes the load and the effectiveness of the treatment.
Decompression table allows our doctors to target your treatment area in three different dimensions.
This allows us to target our treatment by isolating specific spinal discs, compared to traction, which often just “stretches” the entire spine.
We can also completely customize your decompression treatment by changing the amount of stretch (load); the number of stretch/relax stages; the time it takes to reach each peak stretch/relax stage; and many other settings.
These options allow us to personalize the session for your age, weight and condition and to adjust your treatments as we track your results.
Clinical Indication
About Treatment
Clinical indications of Spine MT Series
• Chronic Neck Pain, Chronic Low Back Pain, Herniated Discs, Sciatica, Facet Syndrome, Degenerative Disc Disorder, Spinal Stenosis, Spondylosis, Bulging Disc
How is the treatment administered? How many sessions required? Duration of each session?
The patient is comfortably positioned on the therapy table and secured in place. Many treatment variables are programmed into the computer, including therapy duration, force and graduating levels (and angles) of distraction and relaxation. Doctor uses this computer to operate the table.
Many patients report the treatment is relaxing and may nap; others listen to music. Each decompression session is followed with spinal stabilization exercises. Spinal decompression may be recommended 3 to 6 times per week. Patients are recommended to complete 15 to 20 sessions, though most patients may feel pain relief with-in 5-8 sessions. Each session last between 20-45 minutes (we recommend 30 minutes session, minimum).
Some patients may need prolonged sessions (like 1 or twice in a week for further 3-4 months) or repetition post 6 months. This depends on the severity, body condition and life style.
Core Functions of Spine MT Series
About function
Describe the key features of the Spine MT Series.
- Pelvic function: As CSF is activated by stimulating the sacrum, the therapeutic effect is maximized.
2. Decompression function: By making the disc pressure lower, the self-healing is naturally induced.
3. Correctional function: Customized treatment such as ‘stop-position’ and ‘unilateral’ functions can be applied.
4. Mobilization function: It increases the effectiveness of the treatment by extending the deep muscles of the affected area through mobilization.
5. Lesion function: This makes it possible to treat patients intensively by accurately targeting the affected area.
6. Others
• Chiropractic therapy for all-across spine bones including pelvis, sacrum, vertebra, thoracic vertebra, cervical vertebra and etc.
• Treatment pattern carried out with operation, decompression, and movement.
• Decompression therapy on lumbar vertebra and cervical vertebra.
• 3D treatment by simultaneously applying angle adjustment and decompression function on rotational, one sided, and decompressed region.
• Provides easy patient care by providing information on the treatment and treatment status implemented into the patient DB.
Application of Treatment Principle by James M. Cox, D.C.
Manual therapy using joint mobilization techniques and flexion-distraction techniques is considered an effective intervention for addressing low back pain and disc heights in patients with chronic low back pain
Application of Treatment Principle by James Cyriax, MD
Diagnosis should be made by manual muscle testing for manipulation treatment as the pain area is not always same as basis area (referred pain). Treatment with flexion-distraction techniques is used to restore damaged spinal nerves and surrounding structures by reducing the stricture of the para-spinal ligaments, increasing the movement of metabolites in discs, reducing the stress and internal pressure imposed on the posterior discs through the opening of the spinal facet joints, and expansion intervertebral foramens.
How our Decompression System Work?
Logarithmic system
- Applies decompression using the non-linear logarithmic curve to minimize the muscular tonic reflex to induce negative pressure (decompression)
Feedback system
- A system that handles the data from the sensors(1/1,000ms) faster than the human neural response speed(20/1,000ms) to minimize the muscle tone and maintain decompression
Decompression process interrupt conditions
1. When the bio feedback responses, indicating muscle tonus are returned to the sensors
– Sensor measure time : 2.5/1000 m/s
– Decompression control time : 25/1000 m/s
– Decompression operation velocity : 2/1000 m/s
2. When the decompression operation module operates over the decompression power
※ Feedback system :
When the detected values from the sensors attached to the decompression module deviates from the normal values, the decompression module controls the muscle contractions faster than the neural muscular response to maintain the internal pressure of the disc at negative pressure.
