The DRX9000® has been cleared by the FDA to treat patients suffering with incapacitating lower back pain and sciatica caused by herniated discs, degenerative discs, and posterior facet syndrome.  The therapy itself works to stretch the spine, using a spinal decompression table in order to create negative pressure and space within the disc to allow disc fluid to move back into place. This creates an environment in which the disc can receive more nutrients and therefore heal itself more quickly and effectively. The ultimate goal of spinal decompression therapy is to relieve the patient’s chronic back, arm, neck, and/or leg pain, and to heal the source of said pain.  Spinal decompression therapy is also referred to as non-surgical decompression therapy, since it is often used as a safe, affordable, and extremely effective alternative to spinal surgery. The distinction between surgical and non-surgical spinal decompression is an important one, as surgical spinal procedures are often considered a last option, while spinal decompression therapy is a safe treatment at any stage of back pain.

 

 

Some patients may experience mild muscular soreness during or after treatment.  The sensation would be similar to what a person might experience at the onset of a new exercise regimen.  Most patients find this therapy quite comfortable and relaxing.  During an average 30-minute treatment, most patients experience a gentle stretch in the lumbar spine and tend to fall asleep.  Pain relief from spinal decompression may be dramatic and substantial, lasting for hours, days or weeks.  However, your results may be minimal or insignificant.  You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment.  Sometimes you will not feel improvement for a number of treatments.  This does not mean that the condition is not improving.  Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3 or 4 sessions.  It is important to be consistent with your treatment program to obtain the best results.
