Clinic-grade lumbar decompression at home. The Saunders Lumbar HomeTrac applies up to 200 lbs of gentle, sustained traction across the lumbar spine — the same forces a physical therapist would use in a clinic, from a device you can set up on your bedroom floor. It's the go-to home unit for herniated lumbar discs, sciatica, and chronic low back pain when a clinician's protocol calls for daily sessions.

Who it's for

• Herniated or bulging lumbar disc
• Sciatica — leg pain, numbness, or weakness caused by nerve root compression
• Lumbar spinal stenosis
• Chronic mechanical low back pain
• Facet joint syndrome
• Rehab protocols after conservative treatment or surgery, on a physician's plan

Why the Saunders Lumbar HomeTrac

• Up to 200 lb of calibrated traction force — matches what a therapist applies in clinic
• Split-belt design — anchors the pelvis while pulling from the thoracic belt, creating true lumbar distraction
• Precision pressure gauge — repeatable, reportable sessions your provider can adjust
• Manual hand pump — full patient control; release instantly if anything feels wrong
• Comes fully assembled — no tools, minimal setup
• Portable carrying case — travels between home, office, and appointments

Insurance / reimbursement

Not for

Do not use without direct clinician clearance if you have acute trauma to the lumbar spine, active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, aortic aneurysm, pregnancy, significant osteoporosis, or lumbar hardware. Any new leg weakness, numbness, or bladder/bowel changes are a stop-and-call moment.
