Non-Surgical Back Pain Relief

space

In the U.S. approximately 25% of adults report experiencing chronic low-back pain within the last three months.

Chronic and acute low back pain are widespread and more common than many other physical problems.

Lower back pain is the:

  • Second most commonly reported reason for visiting a doctor
  • Fifth most common cause for hospital admission
  • Third most common indication for surgery
  • Most expensive reason for work disability

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical approach to dealing with low back pain.  The DRX9000, a computerized non-surgical spinal decompression system, provides  maximum patient benefits with the use of a non-invasive.

The DRX9000 is designed to enlarge intra-discal spaces, reduce herniation and decrease intra-discal pressure during treatment – thus relieving pain.

What is Spinal Decompression?

March 21, 2011 Leave a comment

Spinal decompression is a form of treatment that may be considered in cases of:

  • herniated disc or ruptured disc
  • slipped disc
  • spinal stenosis
  • degenerative disc disease
  • sciatica
  • nerve root impingement
  • and with additional symptoms such as neck pain, low back pain, and hip pain.

The DRX9000 spinal decompression table, used to treat such cases, is highly successful in providing non-surgical pain relief.

Spinal decompression therapy is considered when other conservative treatments attempting to decompress the joints and discs of the lower back have failed and the the patient wishes to avoid surgical intervention.

Intervertebral decompression is not a new type of therapy.  Over the years technology has continued to attempt to fight the effects of gravity to the body.  Inversion tables were commonly used in spinal care for decades.  While the premise of decompression in use of these tables is correct, the DRX9000 table is far superior in non-surgical spinal decompression.

Exactly what is Spinal Decompression Treatment?

In treatment, the patient rests on the spinal decompression table.  As the table moves, a distraction force is applied to the targeted area of the spine (the compressed or pinched area or disc). The distraction force, applied between periods of relaxation, is computer-controlled. This action and relaxation sequence gently elongates the spine, pulling discs apart and creates a small vacuum among vertebrae which allow the disc to move back into shape.

With the DRX9000, spinal decompression is performed in minute increments which are cumulative over multiple repetitions.  This allows the disc to reshape itself, heal and provides increased blood flow.  Healing is promoted via the oxygen-rich blood and nutrients that can reach the affected areas during and after decompression.

Bottom Line:  patients fee no discomfort during the procedure and often fall asleep during the process.
