back pain

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. You might also want to learn more about competitive decompression systems, such as the VAX-D and AccuSpina machines.
