Looking for a reliable supplier of rehabilitation tools, traction tables, and treatment supplies for your practice? Chattanooga Rehabilitation is one of many brands that make up DJO Incorporated, the world’s largest manufacturer of equipment specifically designed for the rehabilitation and treatment of musculoskeletal, neurological, and soft tissue disorders.
Chattanooga specifically has been in business for over six decades, setting a benchmark for excellence by improving treatment outcomes in over 80 countries worldwide. The world’s leading brand in rehabilitation, Chattanooga is constantly developing and innovating, providing real-world solutions to the problems of both clinicians and patients.
Chattanooga Rehabilitation utilizes their six decades of experience in the rehabilitation industry, combined with their integration as one of many companies that became DJO Global to create innovative tools that are perfect for any and every rehabilitation and treatment application.
A prime example of the amazing work that Chattanooga is doing for clinical practitioners is in their selection of treatment and traction tables.
Chattanooga offers a range of treatment tables that are great for nearly any practice, from large hospitals to private clinics, providing the base for any therapy, diagnosis, exam, or treatment session.
Their line of treatment tables features a broad range of products and price options, spanning from multi-section tables to solid fixed tables, and all are specifically designed to offer real solutions for the practitioner that make their day to day tasks easier.
To help you find some great solutions for your practice, let’s take a look at some of Chattanooga’s best product offerings, both from their treatment table line, and a few of their other products that are revolutionizing their respective industries.
One of Chattanooga's simpler designs, the TTET-200 Table is a great entry-level traction table, available in a range of models to perfectly accommodate your practice’s needs.
Its comfortable top surface is divided into two sections to promote greater postural freedom, and it is available in a wide range of models featuring different control schemes, colors, and either with or without casters depending on your needs and preferences.
Electric height adjustment promotes better accessibility for patient transfers while also enabling comfortable examinations for the clinician. It comes complete with a pedestal that perfectly supports a traction unit, keeping it close by for easy access without losing sight of the patient.
For more advanced traction therapy, Chattanooga has the ADP-400 Traction Table. This innovative treatment base features a four-section table top, including a friction-free gliding lumbar section to make it exceptionally easy to use in traction therapy.
The ADP-400 also includes a turret-mounted traction pedestal, designed to perfectly support your traction device, keeping nearby within reach without you ever having to leave the side of your patient.
Like the TTET-200, the ADP-400 is available in a range of models to enable easy control of the height adjustment with just the touch of a button, whether via a foot pedal or a hand switch. It is also available either with or without casters, and can be chosen in a variety of upholstery colors to suit any taste or decor.
Chattanooga has also provided an innovation in the field of pain management and relief with the Intelect Legend XT Electrotherapy System. This system delivers high-quality electrotherapy with an ergonomic, user-friendly design that makes it easy to use in any setting.
The versatile system features six different clinical waveforms including Interferential, Premodulated, High Volt, Russian, Symmetrical Biphasic, and Microcurrent. It also includes Patient Data Cards for convenient documentation of treatment conditions and outcomes with pain map profiles, modality records, electrode placement diagrams, and session notes to maximize your organization and the efficiency of your treatment time.
To make the Intelect Legend XT even more convenient and easy to use, it has been designed to be modular, allowing you to choose between two or four channels, with the option for either unit to accommodate a maximum of four channels.
Another area in which Chattanooga is offering innovation is in the treatment of dysphagia, a disorder characterized by trouble swallowing. The original and most widely known e-stim device for dysphagia, the VitalStim Plus NMES & sEMG, was pioneered by Chattanooga, offering a revolutionary new device for swallowing therapy.
This innovative therapy system integrates both NMES and sEMG to serve as an adjunct to traditional exercises, boosting the benefits of swallowing exercises with added electrical stimulation. This combination helps to accelerate the strengthening of the muscles, restore function, and to actually help the brain remap the movements of swallowing.
VitalStim has been the leader in NMES dysphagia treatment since the very beginning. It was the first NMES device cleared by the FDA for use in dysphagia therapy, and continues to provide leading technology with the new VitalStim Plus model. With over 27,000 providers in 40 countries, VitalStim continues to grow as the industry leader due to its superior products and clinical support.
Offering a full sixty years of experience designing and manufacturing rehabilitative tools, Chattanooga is the leader in creating innovative solutions for clinicians and patients alike.
There wide selection of products ranges from items designed to aid in swallowing therapy to full body traction treatment tables, and a full spectrum of helpful tools in between.
