It is estimated that 9 out of 10 people have some form of back pain ranging from a mild irritant to dehabilitating. Over $50 billion each year is spent on treating this epidemic. With these limited success rates, most people are looking for an effective non-surgical alternative to surgery.

1. What conditions has decompression therapy successfully treated?

Conditions benefiting by Non-surgical Spinal Decompression:

• Back and neck pain
• Sciatica
• Herniated and/or bulging discs
• Failed surgery syndrome
• Facet syndrome

Effective even when someone has tried everything else!

2. Who are the best candidates for non-surgical spinal decompression?

DRX9000 is the most advanced and researched spinal decompression system and may benefit:

• Pain due to herniated and bulging disc or discs that are more than 4 weeks old
• Recurrent back pain that may be increasingly more severe
• Pain from relapse or failure following back surgery older than six months
• Pain that has not responded from physical therapy
• Patients willing to commit to and show up on time for a treatment protocol greater than 4 weeks
• Patients who are a minimum of 18 years age

3. What can I expect during treatment?

The typical effective number of sessions is 20 lasting between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the severity of each individual case. Each session has a built-in rehabilitative component that helps to rebuild the weakened spinal support muscles that contributed to joint damage. Most patients describe the process as a very gentle one, and typically fall asleep on the table.

4. What if I have had surgery?

Treatment depends on what type of surgery you have had. Any metallic implant such as plates, screws or wires are contraindicated and would disqualify you as a candidate for treatment.

5. What medical condition would prevent me from undergoing treatment?

Patients with severe osteoporosis (-2.5 S.D. or less), spondypolisthesis (unstable), pars defect, cancer near area of complaint, pathologic aortic aneurysm, or disc infection.
