Spinal Decompression Therapy
Effective Non-surgical treatment of Spinal Disc Conditions and sciatica.
Spinal decompression therapy using the DRX9000 is a non-surgical, computer-controlled treatment designed to relieve back and neck pain caused by conditions like:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
How It Works:
The DRX9000 is a specialized spinal decompression machine that gently stretches the spine in a controlled manner. This stretching creates negative pressure within the discs of the spine, which may help:
- Retract herniated or bulging disc material back into the disc.
- Increase the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the disc to promote healing.
- Reduce pressure on spinal nerves, potentially alleviating pain, tingling, and numbness.
What a Treatment Session Involves:
- The patient lies on the DRX9000 table (face up or down).
- A harness is fitted around the lower back or neck, depending on the treatment area.
- The machine applies precise, gentle traction cycles based on the patient’s condition and comfort.
- A session typically lasts 20–30 minutes, and a full treatment plan may involve 15–30 sessions over several weeks.
Benefits:
- Non-invasive alternative to surgery
- Minimal discomfort
- Customizable treatment for specific spinal levels
Limitations:
- Not suitable for patients with spinal fractures, severe osteoporosis, or certain metal implants
- Results can vary depending on the severity and cause of the condition
Will spinal decompression therapy hurt?
The process is completely painless and is actually relaxing. It is a longer treatment process than you may be used to (30 minutes), so bring something to read or watch if you would like.
