DRX9000 Decompression
For certain disc-related presentations, non-surgical spinal decompression may be considered after evaluating candidacy.
Back Pain
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression works by decompressing the injured disc of your spine, leading to a negative pressure within the disc. This technology is quite advanced because we can target the exact discs which are causing your problem.
The DRX9000.
If you are suffering with chronic lower back pain or chronic neck pain, you may benefit from a surgical alternative known as non surgical decompression therapy. Discover the DRX9000.
Over time, whether there is injury or neglect, the spinal discs in our back begin to degenerate, very similar to a garden not getting water. When this happens, the discs become weak, and can tear causing a herniation.
If these disc injuries are not corrected, continued degeneration occurs until the disc becomes arthritic leading to symptoms such as back pain, leg pain, sciatica and even neuropathy.
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 works by gently distracting these injured discs so as to allow nutrients to be brought back into the disc. Once this occurs, natural healing processes can occur.
How Decompression Works.
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression works by gently decompressing the injured disc of your spine, leading to a negative pressure within the disc. The technology is quite advanced because we can target specific discs which are causing your problem.
The DRX9000 has the capability to treat only those injured discs, leaving other discs alone.
Essentially, this negative pressure creates a vacuum like effect which reduces the herniation. The reduction of the herniation leads to a reduction in pressure off the nerve root. Once this is stabilized, your back pain or leg pain symptoms will be alleviated.
The Process.
Once your case is evaluated and treatment will begin the following steps are initiated. On your first visit you will meet each of our staff and you will be instructed on what is going to happen during treatment that day, and you will also be educated on what you should and should not be doing at home to help your recovery process.
When you start treatment on the DRX9000, you will be fitted with an upper and lower harness. Then, you will stand upright against the machine bed, while our staff slowly lowers you to a more flatten position. If you have trouble lying on your back, don’t worry. This position will be temporary as we provide a knee booster prior to treatment commencing. While on the DRX9000 the specialized computer-controlled table relaxes you. Treatment takes 20-30 minutes, and your treatment plan will be customized to your individual needs and symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Who Qualifies For Spinal Decompression?
Non-surgical spinal decompression(DRX9000) is appropriate for individuals who are over the age of 18 and have persistent or recurrent pain. If you have degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, bulging discs, or have failed back surgery syndrome, you may qualify for this treatment.
How Long Does The Treatment Take?
The treatments typically take between 20-30 minutes and you will have these sessions for several weeks. Depending on your progress, we may decrease these sessions as the pain or condition decreases.
When Will I See Results?
If you choose non-surgical spinal decompression for your condition, you may start to feel a reduction in your symptoms and pain within the first week. A more notable change is typically felt in the second week of your care plan, depending naturally on your condition.

Back Pain Care
Back pain can have more than one cause.
Low back pain can involve discs, joints, muscles, nerves or a combination of factors. Modern Spine Health and Injury Care begins with an individual evaluation to help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and which conservative treatment options may be appropriate.
Find the source before choosing the treatment.
The same symptom can come from different structures. An evaluation helps determine whether the complaint appears more consistent with a disc-related problem, joint restriction, muscular irritation or another source.
Evaluation First
Your history and examination findings help guide the next step.
Multiple Conservative Options
The practice offers chiropractic care, DRX9000 decompression, laser therapy and shockwave therapy.
Individualized Care
Treatment should match the patient and the findings rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Understanding Back Pain
“Back pain” is a symptom — not a diagnosis.
Back pain can feel sharp, aching, stiff, localized or radiating. It may be associated with movement, sitting, standing, lifting or other activities, and the pattern can vary significantly from person to person.
Because several structures can produce similar symptoms, the first goal is to understand the history of the complaint and evaluate the areas that may be involved.
Seek urgent medical attention for concerning symptoms.
Severe or rapidly worsening weakness, loss of bowel or bladder control, numbness in the saddle region, major trauma, fever with severe back pain, or other emergency symptoms should be evaluated promptly.
What May Be Involved
Different structures can create similar back pain symptoms.
Disc-Related Problems
Disc degeneration, bulging or herniation can be associated with localized back pain or symptoms that travel into the leg. The DRX9000 page on this site specifically discusses disc-related conditions and sciatica.
Joint & Movement Restrictions
Restricted or painful spinal movement can contribute to back discomfort and may be evaluated as part of a chiropractic examination.
Muscular & Soft-Tissue Irritation
Muscles and other soft tissues can become irritated from activity, injury, repetitive strain or altered movement patterns.
Nerve-Related Symptoms
When pain, tingling, numbness or other symptoms travel into the buttock or leg, nerve involvement may need to be considered during the evaluation.
Back Pain FAQ
Common questions about back pain care.
Back pain can come from several sources, including discs, joints, muscles, nerves or other structures. The purpose of an evaluation is to determine which findings appear most relevant to your symptoms.
No. The DRX9000 is intended for selected patients with appropriate disc-related presentations. Candidacy should be determined individually.
The practice offers chiropractic care, spinal decompression, laser therapy and shockwave therapy. Whether one or more of those options is appropriate depends on the patient's examination findings and care plan.
There is no universal timeline. Back pain can have different causes and individual responses to care vary, so a specific outcome or recovery time cannot be guaranteed.
