Who Is a Candidate for DRX9000 Treatment?
Patients who haven’t found lasting relief from rest, medication, or physical therapy alone, and who want to avoid spinal surgery or long-term reliance on pain medication, are often good candidates for DRX9000 spinal decompression therapy. Dr. Cantor evaluates each patient individually, using imaging and a physical exam, to confirm candidacy before starting a personalized treatment plan.
