If you are like most of the patients I see on a daily basis you have suffered from lower back or neck pain for some time.

Each of these patients has also had a myriad of treatments performed with little to no relief. In fact most are looking at surgery as their last resort.

When they arrive at my clinic they are always hoping that spinal decompression can offer them an opportunity to avoid taking that risky step of having an invasive surgery.

The majority of these patients are in luck because in most of these cases I can help, as I have been doing for over a decade.

The drx9000 has been a key player in my ability to help these patients with their disc injuries when others have failed.

This technology goes hand in hand with what the latest research about back pain has been showing. That the disc is the main source of pain and the mechanism behind how the disc heals.

Lack of a blood supply is one of the main reasons a disc doesn't heal very well. In normal circumstances, when motion is appropriate a fluid exchange occurs that keeps the disc healthy. However, when motion is altered the disc becomes damaged. The drx9000 creates a vacuum in the disc that draws in fluid and nutrition so the disc can mend.

As the vacuum effect is created it allows the disc to regenerate and creates active fluid exchange so that the disc has the nutrients it needs to heal, forming a scar in the outer layers. This is one of the key reasons that spinal decompression is so effective long term.

Some of the latest studies on spinal decompression have been performed by doctors from institutions like Stanford University, Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins. This makes the use of DRX9000 even more encouraging.

The DRX9000 works well and in cases where spinal surgery is the last resort it makes even more sense. By giving patients another alternative to invasive procedures we are effectively cutting down on the number of patients with failed back surgery or patients that are sent to pain management for the rest of their lives.Saving thousands of patients from surgery over the past several years has been gratifying to say the least, my prediction is that there will be thousands more before I am through.
