What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Core Spine & Wellness in East Brunswick, NJ, explains what Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is, and how it can help you. Spinal decompression treatment is non-invasive and provides gentle disc decompression using a decompression table. You are strapped to the table so that as it moves, it applies a distraction force to the targeted area of the spine (the compressed disc). A computer controls the distraction force, which is applied between periods of relaxation. This gently pulls the spine apart, elongating it and creating a negative pressure within the disc, creating a small vacuum that pulls nutrients and fluids back into the disc. Studies show that it creates a -100 mmHg within the disc, while standing creates a +100 mmHg, and sitting creates a +140 mmHg. This negative pressure pulls fluid and nutrients back into the disc, thus increasing the disc height.

Spinal Decompression Therapy Can Help You with Pain Relief

Much like a repetitive stress injury, the decompression works in minute increments. But over time, that adds up and lets the disc reshape itself, heal and get the proper flow of nutrients to fight off brittleness and future injuries. The safest and non-invasive form of spinal decompression is when therapy is performed by a qualified professional using a decompression machine, which is especially effective for the treatment of herniated or bulging discs. This therapy can relieve back pain or neck pain. This spinal decompression therapy typically takes from 15 to 24 treatment sessions.

Spinal Decompression Treatment With DRX9000

Do you suffer from musculoskeletal problems or debilitating lower back pain? The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System is a non-surgical solution to help your condition. The system was created with the intent of helping healthcare providers treat lumbar pain and other musculoskeletal problems without the need for surgery.

The DRX9000 Is Used to Treat Several Back Conditions, Including:

  • Herniated Discs
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Bulging or Protruding Intervertebral Discs
  • Sciatica
  • Spinal Stenosis

Patients who have been treated with the DRX9000 report liberating relief from pain and other symptoms caused by these conditions.

Here's What Goes on With DRX9000 Treatment:

  • Decompressive forces are applied to your back where compressive and degenerative injuries affect the spine.
  • Each session includes about 30 minutes on the DRX9000 and may be followed by an ice and interferential frequency therapy treatment lasting 15 minutes.
  • A total of 20 treatments should take place over a six-week therapy period.
  • For the first two weeks, daily sessions are recommended, followed by three sessions per week for the next two weeks and two sessions per week for the final two weeks.
  • Depending on your condition, we may instruct you to wear a lumbar support belt and limit your activity during the first two weeks of treatment.
  • During the third and fourth weeks of your therapy, light activity may be permitted.

If we find that your condition has improved by 50% at this point, we may instruct you to perform various lumbar stretching exercises. You perform these stretches at home in conjunction with receiving treatment according to the necessary regimen.
