As the American population continues to grow and overall health declines due to poor eating habits or stress, the number of back pain problems may amplify dramatically over the next decade. Non-surgical decompression therapy aims to non-surgically alleviate patients’ back and neck pain. The DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System™ is designed to provide pain relief for compressive and degenerative injuries of the spine.

Spine Decompression with the DRX9000 offers patients relief from pain involved with the following back conditions:

Disc Herniations

Generally known as the most common root source of mid back pain associated with a certain structural irregularity. Pain may come rapidly, but seldom does a herniated disc appear overnight.

Degenerative Disc Disease

DDD is a state of dehydration and deterioration marked by the steady erosion of the discs ability to distribute and resist mechanical loads. As disks weaken, they become more prone to injury from physical trauma. Degenerative disc disease may also play a important role in conditions such as disc bulges, disc herniations, and stenosis.

Sciatica

It is a condition often involved with a herniated or ruptured disc. When the injured disc restricts one of the spinal nerves leading to the sciatic nerve, it can construct a shock-like pain that travels through the buttocks and down one leg to below the knee. Tingling and numbness are common in this condition. Sciatica can occur abruptly, or develop gradually.

How does non-surgical back decompression alleviate pain involved with herniated disks and degenerative disc disease?

The theory behind non-surgical decompression therapy is a process whereby forces are applied to the spine in a manner that maximizes spinal elongation. By enlarging intradiscal space, a disc herniation size may decrease.

Are there any exclusions why someone could not be helped with the DRX9000™?

The DRX9000 cannot treat patients with: compression fractures, pelvic or abdominal cancer, prior lumbar fusion, severe osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis (unstable), pars defect, Pathologic Aortic aneurysm, disc space infections, severe peripheral neuropathy, hemiplegia or cognitive dysfunction.

If you know is suffering from a herniated disc, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease or sciatica, simply ask you physician if you qualify for the DRX9000 therapy.
