DRX 9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Are you having neck and back problems? Have you tried all your options including injections, physical therapy, medications and now it looks like you are a candidate for surgery? Did you know there is a non-surgical alternative? The DRX 9000 is used for treating neck and low back pain for people that are considering surgery due to herniated discs, bulging discs and degenerative disc disease. Unlike surgery, which requires months of recovery, the DRX treatment allows patients to return to an active lifestyle sooner and without surgery.
Mr. Tim G, a DRX9000 patient, suffered from chronic back pain for years as a result of a near-fatal accident fall at work. “I was hurting terrible,” says Mr. George. As a result of the accident, his vertebrae were out of alignment and his discs out of place. He was suffering from pain in his legs which made it nearly impossible to walk. After receiving a brochure in the mail describing a new spinal decompression technique, he decided to check it out. He underwent six weeks of treatment in July 2007 and now continues once a month for follow-up treatment. “It's really been a blessing to me,” says Mr. George. “I had a four hour surgery and a long recovery to look forward to before, and now I'm doing well. I could feel my vertebrae slightly stretching during the procedure. It really does a great job.”
The spinal decompression is a gentle, painless intermittent pulling of your neck or back, which is so relaxing many patients fall asleep. The treatments with the DRX expands the space between the bones and restores nutrient flow to the disc which promotes healing. MRI studies have shown that spinal decompression using the DRX9000 returns herniated material back into the disc.
A potential patient is required to get an MRI and x-rays before beginning treatment. If it is determined that the patient is a good candidate for the DRX9000, the typical treatment requires at least 20 sessions at one hour per session. Patients undergo additional chiropractic treatment and physical therapy following their treatments.
