Knee Decompression

Knee Decompression Therapy in Raleigh, NC

At Liberty Chiropractic Institute we’re proud to be one of the few chiropractic clinics in the Raleigh-Durham area offering advanced Knee Decompression Therapy using the innovative Knee On Trac system. This non-invasive treatment provides lasting relief for patients struggling with chronic knee pain and joint degeneration—without surgery or medication.

 

What Is the Knee On Trac System?

The Knee On Trac system isolates the knee joint and applies gentle, controlled mechanical traction to reduce pressure, improve mobility, and encourage natural healing. This advanced therapy is designed to:

  • Decrease inflammation
  • Rehydrate the knee joint
  • Increase range of motion
  • Speed up tissue recovery

By targeting the root cause of discomfort, knee decompression can help patients return to an active lifestyle with less pain and greater stability.

Conditions That Benefit from Knee Decompression

Knee decompression therapy can be highly effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Chronic knee pain
  • Osteoarthritis (bone-on-bone)
  • Kneecap pain (patellofemoral pain)
  • ACL and meniscus injuries
  • Failed post-surgical outcomes
  • Chronic or sub-acute muscle strains
  • Previous knee injuries
  • Swelling or inflammation around the knee

Many patients who have tried other treatments with limited success find relief through the Knee On Trac system.

The Science Behind Mechanical Traction

Research published in the International Journal of Science & Research found that mechanical traction produced better results in reducing knee pain and improving quality of life than conventional therapy alone. Studies also show significant improvements when traction is used alongside traditional rehabilitation methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Knee Decompression Therapy?

Knee decompression is a non-surgical treatment that gently separates the knee joint using precise mechanical traction. This helps reduce pressure between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone), promoting better fluid exchange and nutrient delivery within the joint.

How Does It Work?

By creating a mild vacuum effect inside the joint, decompression encourages the flow of nutrient-rich synovial fluid that supports cartilage and tissue healing. It also helps stretch scar tissue and adhesions in surrounding soft tissues, improving flexibility and mobility.

Research indicates that mechanical traction can stimulate bone growth, increase blood circulation, and restore joint movement—naturally enhancing recovery and function.

What Conditions Respond Best?

Patients with the following conditions typically respond well:

  • Arthritis and joint degeneration
  • Meniscus tears
  • Sprains and strains older than six weeks
  • Osteochondritis dissecans
  • Chronic knee stiffness or loss of mobility
  • Health Benefits of Knee Decompression
  • Reduces pain and inflammation
  • Increases joint flexibility and function
  • Promotes cartilage repair and hydration
  • Supports long-term joint health

Are There Any Side Effects?

Mild soreness may occur after the first few sessions, particularly if the knee has significant scar tissue or degeneration. This is temporary and typically subsides as healing progresses.

What to Expect During a Session

Each knee decompression session lasts approximately 5–10 minutes. You’ll be comfortably seated with your leg secured in the Knee On Trac device. Gentle traction is applied based on your customized treatment plan, creating a light pulling sensation that relieves joint pressure.

Our chiropractic team will monitor your progress closely and adjust settings as needed for maximum comfort and results.

After the Treatment

Many patients notice improvement after just a few sessions. Your treatment plan may also include complementary therapies such as chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, or corrective exercises to enhance your recovery and help you maintain long-term joint health.
