Patients travel from across South Florida to complete the TriMed Protocol in Boca Raton.
Why do patients travel to Boca Raton for spinal decompression?
Patients travel to the Boca Raton office from across Palm Beach County, Broward County, Miami-Dade, and the Florida Gulf Coast because three things sit in one place: Excite Medical Preferred Provider status, advanced DRX9000 certifications, and a multi-specialty practice that pairs chiropractic physicians with orthopedic surgeons and interventional pain management specialists. Spinal decompression therapy featuring the DRX9000 is delivered here as part of the TriMed Protocol, and many visiting patients arrange local lodging to stay for several days at a time so they can complete a block of treatment without interruption. Our team helps visiting patients plan the care schedule to make the trip as efficient as possible.
Serving patients from:
Decompression patients drive in from Palm Beach County communities including Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, and Wellington, and from Broward County cities including Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. Drive times to the Boca Raton office run from roughly 15 to 45 minutes, and patients from Miami-Dade and the Gulf Coast travel in for scheduled blocks of care.
Miami and the Gulf Coast — patients make it work.
Why Patients Travel Here
Three differentiators account for the distance patients cover: the TriMed Protocol as a complete treatment system, Excite Medical Preferred Provider status paired with advanced DRX9000 certifications, and a multi-specialty team working under one roof.
The TriMed Protocol
The TriMed Protocol is a complete treatment system with DRX9000 spinal decompression as the centerpiece plus staged supporting therapies — manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and physical therapy modalities — layered in as the course progresses. Progress is tracked with before-and-after imaging rather than guesswork, and a typical decompression course runs about 20 sessions over several weeks.
Excite Medical Preferred Provider and DRX9000 certifications
TriMed Spine & Joint is an Excite Medical Preferred Provider, and Dr. Steven Cantor holds advanced DRX9000 spinal decompression certifications, including a certificate in Spinal Decompression Research. The equipment and the training behind it are both part of what patients drive for.
These certifications are part of Dr. Cantor's more than 25 years of focused training and clinical experience in spinal decompression — experience that guides every DRX9000 treatment plan at TriMed. Please note the Florida-required disclaimer: The specialty recognition identified herein has been received from a private organization not affiliated with or recognized by the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine.
A multi-specialty practice under one roof
Chiropractic physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and interventional pain specialists work together in the same building. A patient traveling in does not have to assemble a care team across three counties — the evaluation, the decompression program, and any additional specialty input happen in one place.
Measurable Results, Not Promises
Two things are measured: disc height on pre- and post-treatment lateral X-rays, and pain on a standard 0–10 scale recorded across the course of care. Published DRX9000 research uses the same measures — a 2010 BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders study of 30 patients recorded disc height increasing from 7.5 mm to 8.8 mm with pain scores falling from 6.2 to 1.6, and a 2025 Military Medicine study of 267 patients reported 90.5% of patients experiencing pain reduction with average pain moving from 6.9 to 2.5. Findings in documented cases vary by patient and are not a prediction of any individual result.
Lumbar disc height at L5-S1 before and after the TriMed DRX9000 protocol — 11.9 mm increasing to 13.9 mm on lateral X-ray.
Common Questions About Traveling to Boca Raton for Decompression
Traveling patients most often ask about scheduling, drive times, and which office houses the DRX9000.
Who travels to Boca Raton for DRX9000 spinal decompression?
Patients travel to the Boca Raton office from Palm Beach County, Broward County, Miami-Dade, and the Florida Gulf Coast, most often after conservative care elsewhere has not resolved a disc-related problem. Drive times from nearby Palm Beach County cities run about 15 to 45 minutes.
How many visits does a decompression course require, and how do traveling patients schedule them?
A typical DRX9000 decompression course runs about 20 sessions over several weeks. Traveling patients usually group sessions into consecutive days, and our staff builds the schedule around travel before care begins; call 1-855-4-TRIMED to arrange it.
Is the DRX9000 only available in Boca Raton?
DRX9000 spinal decompression is performed only at the Boca Raton office, and patients from all four TriMed Spine & Joint locations complete their decompression care there. The Lauderhill, Delray Beach, and Hollywood offices handle evaluation and supporting care.
Do traveling patients need to stay overnight in Boca Raton?
Overnight lodging is optional rather than required. Patients from Miami-Dade and the Gulf Coast often arrange local lodging so they can complete several consecutive sessions in one trip, while most Palm Beach County and Broward County patients drive in for individual visits.
