DRX9000
The DRX9000 is an incredibly high tech device used to perform non-surgical
spinal decompression
on patients with herniated and degenerated discs. The machine is used by medical doctors and
chiropractors
and has proven itself to be one of the best treatment modalities for permanently curing disc related pain.

DRX9000 Facts
DRX decompression stretches and elongates compressed areas of the spine, eliminating the effects of built up pressure on herniated and degenerated discs. Additionally, the treatment encourages herniations to shrink, allowing the disc to resume a healthier, asymptomatic state. The DRX machine can enact decompression on a specific targeted area of the spine, maximizing benefits of the therapy, while minimizing vertebral changes in unaffected spinal regions. The device is fully computerized and its precise treatment parameters are controlled by the care provider, who operates the machine during treatment. DRX machines have enjoyed remarkable success in treating disc conditions and statistics show 86% of patients with
herniated disc pain
enjoy marked improvement after finishing the DRX treatment program.
DRX9000 Treatment
Patients are typically treated daily for 14 to 21 days and then several times a week for an additional week or 2. Most patients undergo approximately 20 to 30 sessions, each lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Many care providers integrate additional complementary healing methods into the DRX sessions.
Massage,
TENS
use, hydrotherapy and
heat and/or ice
are commonly used treatments which can help to provide additional benefits to patients using the DRX program. Treatment is very gentle and most patients experience no pain or discomfort whatsoever. Many actually enjoy the feeling of decompression and some feel instant pain relief during treatment. This therapy has truly bridged the gap between many conservative symptomatic
herniated disc treatments
and the final option of back surgery. Spinal decompression offers a noninvasive means of permanently ending disc pain while avoiding the considerable risks of
herniated disc surgery.
DRX9000 Advice
I have had the opportunity to view several of these treatment centers and am always amazed at the knowledge and caring of the providers. The machine itself is a wonder to behold and the satisfaction of successfully treated patients speaks for itself. Spinal decompression is my recommendation for patients with verified structural
disc pain,
who have tried other conservative treatments without success. Remember, most herniated discs will not cause pain and many patients are actually
misdiagnosed.
In these cases, the
herniated disc
is there, but is not causing any symptoms. Most of these patients are actually suffering from
ischemia back pain
and should consider
knowledge therapy
as their treatment of choice. For all others, spinal decompression offers a real hope of ending pain once and for all. DRX centers continue to expand internationally and it is getting progressively easier to find a treatment facility near you.

VAX-D
and
AccuSpina
machines.
