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 offers patients relief from pain associated with the following back conditions:

Disc Herniations

 

  • Generally known as the most common root source of mid back pain involved with a certain structural irregularity. Pain may come overnight, but rarely does a herniated disk appear overnight.

    •  

    Degenerative Disc Disease

     

  • DDD is a state of dehydration and deterioration marked by the gradualerosion of the discs ability to distribute and resist mechanical loads. As disks weaken, they become more prone to injury from physical stress. Degenerative disc disease may also play a important role in conditions such as disc bulges, disc herniations and stenosis.

    •  

    Sciatica

     

  • It is a condition often associated with a herniated or ruptured disk. When the injured disc compresses one of the spinal nerves leading to the sciatic nerve, it can generate a shock-like pain that travels through the buttocks and down one leg to below the knee. Tingling and numbness are common in this condition. Sciatica can occur suddenly, or develop gradually.

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

    The theory behind non-surgical decompression therapy 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 treated on the DRX9000?

    The DRX9000 will not treat back pain sufferers 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 you know is suffering from a herniated disk, bulging disk, degenerative disc disease or sciatica, simply ask you doctor if you qualify for the DRX9000 treatment.

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