Non-Surgical Decompression Therapy and Your Mid Back Pain

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 lumbar spine.

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

Disc Herniations

 

Generally known as the most common root source of low back pain involved with a certain structural irregularity. Pain may come suddenly, but rarely does a herniated disk 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 disks weaken, they become more likely to injury from physical trauma. Degenerative disc disease may also play a contributing role in conditions such as disk bulges, disk herniations and stenosis.

 

Sciatica

 

It is a condition often involved with a herniated or ruptured disc. When the injured disc restricts 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 below the knee. Tingling and numbness are familiar in this condition. Sciatica can arise suddenly, or develop gradually.

 

How does non-surgical lumbar decompression alleviate pain associated with herniated disks 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 patient could not be helped with the DRX9000?

The DRX9000 will not 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 disk disease or sciatica, simply ask you physician if you qualify for the DRX9000 treatment.
