Spinal decompression treatment using the DRX9000™ appeals to spine specialists and their patients who seek conservative non-surgical treatment for low back pain and related symptoms. Interestingly, in a poll sponsored by the North American Spine Society, 58% of those surveyed stated they turn to conservative nonsurgical treatment rather than surgery. (1)

Indications for treatment using the DRX9000™ system include:

  • Pain due to lumbar herniated and bulging discs that is more than 4 weeks old
  • Recurrent pain from failed back surgery that is more than 6 months old
  • Persistent pain from degenerated discs unresponsive to 4 weeks of therapy
  • Patients at least 18-years of age

About Spinal Decompression

Unlike manual or certain types of mechanical traction, a decompression system (DRX9000™) applies controlled forces to the spine in a manner to maximize spinal elongation. As vertebrae spread apart, intradiscal pressure is reduced and nerves and discs are decompressed. Additionally, decompression creates a vacuum effect within discs and stimulates induction of nutrients and oxygen necessary for healing.
