Decompression techniques provide relief by separating the bones of the spine reducing the pressure within the disc (intradiscal pressure) Disc decompression treats the source of the pain – pain caused by disc bulge or disc herniation pressure More advanced methods use oscillation to reduce muscle spasm that could work against the decompression motion More advanced methods also direct the treatment to specific levels of the spine by varying the angle of decompression making the treatment mo.

Decompression is achieved by using a specific combination of spinal positioning and varying the degree and intensity of force. The key to producing this decompression is the gentle pull that is created by a logarithmic curve. When distractive forces are generated on a logarithmic curve the typical proprioceptor response is avoided. Avoiding this response allows decompression to occur at the targeted area.

Traction is helpful at treating some of the conditions resulting from herniated or degeneration. Traction cannot address the source of the problem. The DRX9000? creates a negative pressure or a vacuum inside the disc. This effect causes the disc to pull in the herniation and the increase in negative pressure also causes the flow of blood and nutrients back into the disc allowing the body's natural fibroblastic response to heal the injury and re-hydrate the disc.

In most cases the DRX9000? treatment is not contra-indicated for patients that have had spinal surgery. In fact many patients have found success with the DRX9000? after a failed back surgery. See similar questions...

Answer:No, the patient is in full control. The design of the equipment allows you to stop the treatment at any time. See similar questions...

Since I began using the Spinal Decompression spinal disc decompression unit, I’have been inundated with questions from both doctors and patients as to which cases it will best help. Obviously proper patient selection is essential to favorable outcomes, so let me explain to you of the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria so you may make the right decision since not everyone qualifies for Spinal Decompression treatment.

Anyone who has been told they need surgery but wishes to avoid it, anyone who has been told there is nothing more available to help, anyone who failed to significantly respond to conservative options (medications, physical therapy, injections, chiropractic, acupuncture), or anyone who still has pain but wishes to obtain the type of care they want.
