In the past, patients suffering from disc and nerve-related problems were often prescribed pain medications, advised to limit physical activity, referred to physical therapy, or treated with epidural injections. When these approaches failed to provide adequate relief, surgery was sometimes recommended.

While conservative chiropractic care has helped many patients, there are cases where additional treatment options may be needed. DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy offers a non-invasive approach for people experiencing certain types of neck and lower-back pain associated with herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs.

Our goal is to help patients reduce pain, improve function, and return to a more active lifestyle.

Have you:

• Had multiple epidural injections with little or no lasting relief?
• Tried radiofrequency ablation (RFA) without achieving the results you hoped for?
• Been told that your pain-management options are becoming limited?
• Continued to experience neck or lower-back pain despite other conservative treatments?

If so, spinal decompression therapy may be an option worth discussing with our team.

The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System uses controlled, computer-assisted traction designed to gently unload the spine and reduce pressure on affected spinal structures.

During treatment, the spine is gradually and carefully distracted. This may temporarily reduce pressure within the affected spinal segments and discs and may help relieve pressure associated with certain disc and nerve conditions.

Treatment is designed to be comfortable and relaxing. In fact, many patients find the sessions so comfortable that they are able to relax or even fall asleep during treatment.

We combine spinal decompression with appropriate chiropractic care, physical therapy, and other conservative approaches when indicated. Each treatment plan is individualized according to the patient's condition, goals, and clinical findings.

DRX9000 spinal decompression may be considered as part of a conservative treatment plan for patients experiencing conditions such as:

• Sciatica
• Herniated or bulging discs in the neck or lower back
• Degenerative disc disease
• Certain facet-joint-related conditions
• Numbness or tingling involving the arms or legs
• Persistent pain following back surgery
• Certain cases of spinal stenosis

If chronic neck or back pain has limited your ability to work, exercise, sleep, or enjoy everyday activities, we invite you to learn more about your treatment options.
