Non Surgical Spinal Decompression

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.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Meet the DRX9000.

For patients dealing with chronic lower back pain or neck pain related to certain disc conditions, non-surgical spinal decompression may offer a treatment option without surgery. The DRX9000 uses computer-controlled decompression to target specific areas of the spine.

Why Spinal Discs Matter

When a disc is injured, pressure can affect how you feel.

Over time, injury and degeneration can weaken spinal discs. In some cases, discs may bulge or herniate and contribute to symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, leg pain or sciatica.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is intended to gently distract the involved spinal segment and create reduced pressure within the disc. The practice uses the DRX9000 because the system allows treatment to be directed toward specific spinal levels.

Whether decompression is appropriate depends on the individual condition, examination findings and medical history. A consultation and evaluation are used to determine candidacy.

How Decompression Works

A controlled process designed to reduce disc pressure.

The DRX9000 uses computer-controlled traction to gently separate targeted spinal segments. The goal is to create negative pressure within the disc and reduce mechanical stress on nearby structures.

Target the involved level. The system can be configured to focus decompression on the spinal level identified during evaluation.
Apply controlled decompression. The table alternates controlled pulling and relaxation phases rather than applying one constant force.
Create a lower-pressure environment. The intended effect is reduced pressure within the disc and less mechanical irritation around the affected area.

Who May Be A Candidate?

Common conditions evaluated for spinal decompression.

Not every patient is appropriate for this treatment. Dr. Wilson evaluates each case before recommending a decompression plan.

Herniated DiscsDisc material that may be irritating nearby nerves or contributing to spinal pain.
Bulging DiscsDisc changes that may contribute to back, neck or radiating symptoms.
SciaticaRadiating leg symptoms associated with irritation or compression involving the sciatic nerve pathway.
Degenerative Disc DiseaseAge- or injury-related disc changes that may contribute to persistent spinal symptoms.
Spinal StenosisNarrowing in the spinal canal or openings around nerve roots may be evaluated as part of candidacy.
Persistent Neck or Back PainChronic or recurring symptoms may warrant evaluation to determine whether a disc-related problem is involved.

What Treatment Is Like

A comfortable, guided process from start to finish.

Once Dr. Wilson determines that decompression may be appropriate, the team explains the treatment, prepares you for the table and reviews what to do at home to support the care plan.

Step 01 Evaluation & Treatment Planning Your symptoms, examination findings and history are reviewed before treatment begins.
Step 02 Harness & Positioning An upper and lower harness are fitted, and the table is adjusted to position you for treatment. A knee bolster can be used for comfort.
Step 03 Computer-Controlled Session The DRX9000 delivers the programmed decompression treatment. Sessions are generally described by the practice as lasting about 20–30 minutes.
Step 04 Individualized Progression Frequency and duration are customized according to the patient's condition, symptoms and progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What patients usually want to know.

It is a non-invasive treatment that uses a motorized table to gently stretch and decompress targeted areas of the spine. The goal is to reduce pressure within the spinal discs and on surrounding structures.
The existing practice information identifies patients with persistent or recurrent back or neck pain associated with conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica or spinal stenosis as possible candidates. An evaluation is necessary to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
The practice describes DRX9000 treatment sessions as typically lasting approximately 20–30 minutes. The overall care plan varies according to the individual condition and progress.
You are fitted with upper and lower harnesses and positioned on the specialized table. The computer-controlled system then delivers alternating phases of decompression and relaxation according to the treatment settings selected for your case.
No. The existing page notes that certain conditions can make decompression inappropriate, which is why medical history, examination findings and candidacy are reviewed before treatment is recommended.
