DRX 9000 SPINAL DECOMPRESSION EXPLAINED

DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression
Dr. Cantor is part of a small group of Florida chiropractors that have achieved advanced certification in DRK 9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy. He has successfully treated thousands of cases, with significant relief often occurring within the first week of care.

This non-surgical, non-invasive treatment provides gentle decompression of herniated or bulging discs through the use of a computerized, mechanical table. Using research-backed algorithms, a targeted, intermittent distraction force is applied to the spine, which creates a ‘vacuum effect within the disc. It is this “Vacuum effect” which facilitates the retraction of the protruded disc material closer to a normal pain-free state.
About
DRX9000® decompression treatment
The DRX9000® True Non-surgical spinal decompression® treatment for back pain has been designed to aid healthcare providers in their efforts in treating low back (lumbar) pain. DRX9000® and DRX9000C® treatments provide relief to patients suffering from chronic back pain or neck pain. The DRX9000® spinal decompression machine has been cleared by the FDA to treat herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and posterior facet syndrome. The DRX9000Ò is the only system available in its field to utilize a servo motor; in doing so, the DRX9000® contains nested closed-loop feedback that ensures that the therapy stays true to each patient’s logarithmic spinal decompression treatment.
How DRX9000® decompression machine treatment works
DRX9000® system works on the injuries that happen due to nerve compression by applying equal amount of pressure on the vertebrate columns, by stretching the spine, this creates a gap in between the discs, and with improved flow of nutrients through both the vertebrate columns of spine the injuries heal slowly and steadily after regular DRX9000® decompression treatment sessions, as suggested by your doctor. Many patients are living better and happier lives.
How long does it take to see results after non surgical spinal decompression DRX9000® treatment?
How much Time does it take to complete DRX9000® treatment?
Typically, the sessions are just under 30 minutes; 20 DRX9000® treatments sessions are recommended, although in some cases it may require more. Treatment is broken into 5 times per week for the first two weeks, three times per week for weeks three and four and twice a week for the remaining two. Some DRX9000® providers schedule patients five times per week for four weeks or four times per week for five weeks.
Is non surgical spinal decompression DRX9000® treatment successful?

Low back pain can be caused by a number of factors from injuries to the effects of aging. The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae, which are made of bone. Between each vertebra are soft discs with a ligamentous outer layer. These discs function as shock absorbers to protect the vertebra and the spinal cord. Many of the problems that cause back pain are the result of herniation and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. Degeneration is a process where wear and tear causes deterioration of the disc. Herniations, or bulging of the disc are protrusions from the disc that press on surrounding nerves, causing pain or numbness.
Most patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, significant improvement is obtained by the second week of treatment.
Since we began using the DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression table, we’ve been inundated with questions from both doctors and patients as to which cases it will best help. Obviously proper patient selection is essential to favorable outcomes, so please contact us so we can better understand your pain conditions – then we can better explain the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria so we may make the right decision since not all patients qualify for Spinal Decompression treatment.
Most patients do not experience any side effects. Though, there have been some mild cases of muscle spasm for a short period of time.
Decompression is achieved by using a specific combination of spinal positioning and varying the degree and intensity of force. The key to producing this decompression is the gentle pull that is created by a logarithmic curve. When distractive forces are generated on a logarithmic curve the typical proprioceptor response is avoided. Avoiding this response allows decompression to occur at the targeted area.
NO. Spinal Decompression is totally safe and comfortable for all subjects. The system has emergency stop switches for both the patient and the operator. These switches (a requirement of the FDA) terminate the treatment immediately thereby avoiding any injuries.
Traction is helpful at treating some of the conditions resulting from herniated or degeneration. Traction cannot address the source of the problem. Spinal Decompression creates a negative pressure or a vacuum inside the disc. This effect causes the disc to pull in the herniation and the increase in negative pressure also causes the flow of blood and nutrients back into the disc allowing the body’s natural fibroblastic response to heal the injury and re-hydrate the disc. Traction and inversion tables, at best, can lower the intradiscal pressure from a +90 to a +30 mmHg. Spinal Decompression is clinically proven to reduce the intradiscal pressure to between a -150 to -200 mmHg. Traction triggers the body’s normal response to stretching by creating painful muscle spasms that worsen the pain in affected area.
In most cases Spinal Decompression treatment is not contra-indicated for patients that have had spinal surgery. In fact many patients have found success with Spinal Decompression after a failed back surgery.
Anyone who has recent spinal fractures, surgical fusion or metallic hardware, surgically repaired aneurysms, infection of the spine, and/or moderate to severe osteoporosis.
Anyone who has been told they need surgery but wishes to avoid it, anyone who has been told there is nothing more available to help, anyone who failed to significantly respond to conservative options (medications, physical therapy, injections, chiropractic, acupuncture), or anyone who still has pain but wishes to obtain the type of care they want.
