Non-surgical decompression therapy aims to non-surgically relieve 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.

Non-surgical lumbar decompression therapy with the DRX9000 provides patients relief from pain involved with the following conditions:

Disc Herniations

 

Known as the most common source of low back pain involved 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 steadyerosion of the discs ability to distribute and resist mechanical loads. As discs deteriorate, they become more prone to injury from physical pressure. Degenerative disc disease may also play a part in conditions such as disk bulges, disc herniations and stenosis.

 

Sciatica

 

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

 

How does non-surgical lumbar decompression alleviate pain associated with herniated discs and degenerative disc disease?

The theory behind non-surgical spine decompression is a course of action 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 a back pain sufferer could not be treated on the DRX9000?

The DRX9000 cannot treat back pain 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 anyone you know is suffering from a herniated disk, bulging disk, degenerative disc disease or sciatica, simply ask you doctor if you qualify for the DRX9000 therapy.
