The Benefits Spinal Decompression Therapy With The DRX9000
The DRX9000 is a non-surgical spinal decompression therapy device that is designed to relieve pain associated with spinal conditions like herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. Here’s why it is considered one of the most effective spinal decompression methods:
1. Targeted Spinal Decompression
The DRX9000 system uses precise, computer-controlled adjustments to decompress specific areas of the spine. Unlike traditional traction, which applies a constant pull, the DRX9000’s technology applies a gentle and gradual force that targets the disc or vertebrae causing the pain, allowing for more focused and effective treatment.
2. Reduction of Pressure on the Spinal Discs
The device creates a negative pressure or a vacuum effect within the affected discs. This can help to retract herniated or bulging disc material back into the disc, which in turn reduces pressure on the surrounding nerves. This relief of pressure allows better circulation of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids to flow back into the discs, promoting healing.
3. Non-Surgical and Painless
Unlike invasive spinal surgeries, the DRX9000 offers a non-surgical solution to chronic back pain. It is typically a painless procedure, which is an attractive option for patients looking to avoid surgery and the associated risks, recovery time, and costs.
4. Improved Mobility and Function
By decompressing the spine and allowing the discs to heal and rehydrate, patients often experience improved mobility and range of motion. This can lead to long-term relief and an overall better quality of life.
5. FDA Cleared
The DRX9000 is FDA-cleared, meaning it has met the necessary safety standards for medical use. This clearance gives patients and healthcare providers confidence in its effectiveness and safety.
6. Customizable Treatment
The DRX9000 can be customized to meet the specific needs of each patient based on their condition, size, and pain level. The ability to fine-tune the treatment parameters makes it suitable for a wide range of spinal issues.
7. Minimal Side Effects
Unlike medications or surgery, which can have significant side effects, spinal decompression with the DRX9000 typically has minimal adverse effects. Most patients report a feeling of relief after the session, with rare cases of temporary soreness.
8. Supports Natural Healing
The decompression provided by the DRX9000 encourages the body’s natural healing mechanisms by creating the space and conditions necessary for the discs and vertebrae to recover. Over time, this can lead to a reduction or elimination of chronic pain without ongoing reliance on pain medications.
Overall, the DRX9000 is considered one of the best and most effective non-invasive spinal decompression devices because of its precision, ability to promote natural healing, and non-surgical approach to treating spinal pain. Our office has treated over 30,000 people with the DRX 9000 and have a 90 percent success rate.
Additional Benefits Of Spinal Decompression Therapy With The DRX9000
How does the DRX9000 non-surgical spinal decompression system work?
The DRX 9000 applies forces along a treatment curve to elongate the spine without causing the muscles that guard the spine to contract. This advanced technology uses high-speed treatment computers to calculate the exact treatment curve for each patient.
A servo/motor amplifier (“servo-motion system”) takes the treatment curve and applies the forces to the patient. The servo-amplifier constantly checks (several thousand times per second) and corrects the servo-motor’s movement. Measurement devices inside the DRX 9000 monitor changes in the decompression force experienced by each patient. The computers calculate corrections and ensure the therapy is true to each patient‘s treatment curve. A Nested Closed-Loop Feedback System ensures constant monitoring, measuring, and correcting processes.
What is the DRX 9000 Treatment Protocol?
At Gonstead Physical Medicine, our treatment protocol for spinal decompression has three phases of care. As the patient’s spinal disc injury improves, the patient progresses from phase 1 to phase 3. The frequency of care depends on the severity of the spinal injuries and the patient’s health.
Phase 1: Stabilizing
This phase of care focuses on stabilizing the spinal disc and reducing or eliminating the patient’s symptom intensity, whether that be back pain, neck pain, numbness, or tingling. Phase 1 is typically 20 visits over a 7-week period.
Phase 2: Strengthening
This phase of care focuses on strengthening the area around the disc to prevent exacerbating the patient’s symptoms. During this phase, we introduce rehabilitative strengthening exercises. The frequency of phase 2 care depends on the severity of the spinal disc injuries of the patient. Phase 2 of care is typical 6 to 12 visits over a 12- week period.
Phase 3: Maintenance
This phase of care focuses on maintaining a healthy spinal disc and consists of periodic maintenance treatments to prevent further worsening of the patient’s condition. Phase 3 care depends on the severity of the spinal disc injuries of the patient and is typically 4 to 12 visits per year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression applies forces to the spine to relax the paraspinal muscles to maximize spinal elongation. Decompression gently spreads the vertebra apart to relieve nerve pressure. This drops pressure within the disc, facilitating the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the disc to assist in the healing process. Additionally, the reduction in pressure may help draw in herniated disc material, reducing the size of the herniation or bulging disc.
How long does spinal decompression take?
The frequency and duration of decompression therapy depend on the severity of your issue and your current health.
Is it good to decompress the spine?
If you are suffering from a disc injury, where your spine compresses your nerves, causing pain and dysfunction, decompression is an excellent, non-invasive, natural option for pain relief. It will help restore spinal alignment and speed up disc bulge or herniation recovery.
What are spinal decompression treatments like?
Quick, painless, and relaxing, leaving you feeling instantly taller.
Can a chiropractor in Phoenix, AZ do spinal decompression?
Gonstead Physical Medicine is lucky enough to have a state-of-the-art decompression system, the DRX 9000. The DRX 9000 has a 90% success rate in relieving neck and back pain.
Can spinal decompression cause damage?
No, decompression fixes damage. You may feel slight muscle soreness after a session, similar to after a challenging workout.
How effective is decompression therapy?
We have a 90% success rate at relieving neck and back pain using the DRX 9000 decompression system.
What does a compressed spine feel like?
Spinal compression is when your vertebrae irritate nearby nerves, causing pain and dysfunction. While pain is an indicator of nervous system stress – headaches, neck pain, low back pain – you may also experience dysfunction with other body systems – cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive – and issues with focus, cognition, energy, sleep, and your senses.
