DRX 9000 & Back Pain in Miami

DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy May Help Your Chronic Back Pain

The spinal column is divided into three sections, with the lower back consisting of 5 vertebrae called the lumbar region. The lower back supports the majority of the body’s weight and motion which makes it the region most prone to injured discs. Bulging or herniated discs may occur after an injury or from disease, but aging and normal wear and tear can also bring it on.  Using the DRX9000 decompression machine to relieve low back pain, and for low back pain treatment and therapy is discussed as a viable alternative to other treatments.

How DRX9000 Therapy is used for Back Pain Relief

Researchers in one DRX9000 patient follow-up study determined that patients who underwent a series of 20 DRX9000 therapy treatments experienced 86% efficacy in their relief from pain.

To understand how nerve pain is caused from bulging discs, examine the way the spinal column functions. Between each of the vertebrae are cushioned discs that perform similarly to a shock absorber, cushioning both vertebrae and nerves. Healthy discs are round with a tougher outer capsule and a gel substance inside. Discs absorb and cushion vertebrae and nerves during normal movement and assist the spine to function easily. Injury, disease, or aging and wear and tear may cause a disc to herniate or bulge. When this happens, the injured disc causes pressure on the nerve root and/or spinal cord which can result in pain, and even cause numbness or decreased function.

The most common herniated discs are in the lumbar region but may also occur in the upper spine. Upper cervical vertebrae disc injuries can result in nerve pain that shoots through the neck, hands and down to the fingers, while lower back disc injuries send pain shooting through the leg and sometimes to the feet and toes, a common condition called Sciatica.

The DRX9000, designed by a medical doctor, helps alleviate back pain by performing a series of gentle but intricate spinal stretches using a logarithmic curve for increased weight and a sensored pull, giving the spine an opportunity to decompress. Both vertebrae and intervertebral discs (IVDs) that compress when a disc is injured are separated allowing the disc room to rehydrate and return to its proper location instead of pressing on nerves or surrounding tissues.

The DRX9000, chiropractic spinal decompression table offers an alternate solution for relief from radiating lower back pain. Consulting with a proper practitioner and imaging will guide your doctor in determining if your condition will be helped using the DRX9000. Spinal decompression therapy may not be the correct treatment for every back condition. Herniated, protruding and bulging discs as well as chronic conditions such as  degenerative discs, compressive arthritis and facet arthrosis are some low back conditions treated with the DRX9000.
