Personal Injury Care

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.

Auto Accident Care

Care after a car accident starts with a proper evaluation.

Even when an accident seems minor, symptoms can appear immediately or become more noticeable afterward. Modern Spine Health and Injury Care evaluates musculoskeletal complaints following motor vehicle accidents and develops care recommendations based on the individual patient's findings.

After a Motor Vehicle Collision

Don't guess about what your body is telling you.

An evaluation can help identify the areas involved, document your complaints and determine which conservative treatment options may be appropriate.

Individual Evaluation Your symptoms, history and examination findings guide the care plan.
Conservative Care Options Available treatment options may include chiropractic care and other technologies used by the practice when appropriate.
Clear Next Steps The goal is to understand what is bothering you and what care may make sense next.

After An Accident

Symptoms do not always tell the whole story right away.

Motor vehicle accidents can place sudden stress on the neck, back and other joints and soft tissues. Some people notice discomfort immediately, while others become more aware of stiffness, soreness or pain in the hours or days that follow.

The first step is not to assume what is wrong. An appropriate evaluation helps determine which areas may be involved and whether conservative care is appropriate for your situation.

Important:

If you have severe symptoms, loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing, significant bleeding, progressive weakness or numbness, or another emergency concern after an accident, seek emergency medical care promptly.

What To Expect

A straightforward process focused on your symptoms and findings.

Care after an auto accident should begin with understanding what happened, what you are feeling and what the examination shows.

01

History

Discuss the collision, how your symptoms developed and the activities that are now difficult or uncomfortable.

02

Examination

Evaluate the areas involved and look for findings that help guide the next step in care.

03

Care Plan

If conservative care is appropriate, recommendations can be tailored to your individual presentation.

04

Progress Review

Your response to care can be reassessed over time and the plan adjusted when appropriate.

Care Options

Treatment is based on the individual — not just the fact that there was an accident.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is one of the services offered by Modern Spine Health and Injury Care and may be considered when appropriate for the patient's condition and examination findings.

Laser Therapy

The practice offers Class 4 laser therapy. Whether it is incorporated after an accident depends on the individual patient's needs and clinical findings.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is another technology offered by the practice. It is not automatically appropriate after every collision and should be considered only when clinically indicated.

Spinal Decompression

For certain disc-related presentations, the practice also offers non-surgical spinal decompression using the DRX9000. Candidacy is determined individually.
