Non-Surgical Spine Decompression and Your Upper Back Pain

Non-surgical decompression therapy aims to non-surgically relieve patients' back and neck pain. The DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System^™ aims 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 associated with the following conditions:

Disc Herniations

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

Degenerative Disc Disease

DDD is a state of dehydration and deterioration marked by the gradualerosion of the discs ability to dispense and resist mechanical loads. As discs worsen, they become more likely to injury from physical trauma. Degenerative disc disease may also play a important role in conditions such as disk bulges, disk 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 construct a shock-like pain that moves through the buttocks and down one leg to under the knee. Tingling and numbness are familiar in this condition. Sciatica can occur suddenly, or develop gradually.

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

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

Are there any exclusions why a back pain patient could not be treated on the DRX9000?

The DRX9000 will not help 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 disc, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease or sciatica, simply ask you physician if you qualify for the DRX9000 therapy.

To learn more about non-surgical back decompression therapy, please ask your doctor if the DRX9000 is right for you.
