DRX9000TM Spinal Decompression Explained

The spine is made up of vertebrae that are stacked up on each other. Between each vertebra is a cartilage pad that is called a disc. That disc has a soft center that is approximately 80% water. It is a gel. And, that absorbs the force and allows the spine to move in all directions. The outside of the disc is a tough capsule that holds all that together.With time or with stresses, that capsule will stretch and that disc will lose some of its fluid content and as it bulges out, that puts a stress on the surface of the disc where the nerves are and that gives back pain.

If the bulge or protrusion gets out there far enough, it will hit a nerve that comes off the spine. At each level, there is a big nerve that comes off called the spinal nerve and it goes right over the back of the disc. These nerves come out and join together and form the sciatic nerve that runs down the leg.

When we want to get rid of back pain, we want to put a pull on the spine to pull the vertebrae apart to reduce the pressure within the disc. That is the decompression. That allows the disc to settle back into place. It lowers that pressure so that fluid flows back into that disc and restores the height of that disc. Nutrients go into the disc. It is a way of repairing it without any type of invasive surgery.

It this a short-term fix, or is it a long-term fix?

Many patients we have seen are actually sent for surgery and give this alternative, it has allowed them to get rid of their back pain long-term, without any invasive surgery.

Don’t live life in pain. You do not have to!
