Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is one of the technologies offered by the practice and may be considered for selected soft-tissue and musculoskeletal complaints when clinically appropriate.
Shoulder 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.

Plantar Fasciitis Care
Heel pain can turn the first few steps of the day into the hardest ones.
Plantar fasciitis commonly causes pain along the bottom of the heel and foot, often with the first steps after rest or after prolonged standing and activity. Modern Spine Health and Injury Care begins with an evaluation to determine whether your symptoms are consistent with plantar fasciitis and which conservative care options may be appropriate.
Heel • Arch • Plantar Fascia • Soft Tissue
Foot pain needs a foot-focused evaluation.
The original page is labeled “Plantar Fasciitis,” but most of its body is copied DRX9000 spinal-decompression content. This rebuild focuses on the heel, plantar fascia and conservative foot care instead.
Evaluation First
Heel pain can have different causes, so the pattern and examination findings matter.
Conservative Options
Shockwave therapy, Class 4 laser therapy and musculoskeletal care may be considered when appropriate.
Individualized Plan
Treatment recommendations are based on the patient's findings rather than a generic protocol.
Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
The plantar fascia helps support the arch and absorbs stress with every step.
The plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue along the bottom of the foot. When it becomes irritated, pain is commonly felt near the heel and may be worse with the first steps after getting out of bed or after a period of rest.
Symptoms can also increase with prolonged standing, walking or activity. Because heel pain can have more than one possible source, an evaluation helps determine whether plantar fasciitis appears to fit the presentation.
Not every painful heel is plantar fasciitis.
Severe injury, marked swelling or redness, inability to bear weight, progressive numbness, fever, or another concerning symptom should be evaluated promptly.
What May Be Contributing
Heel pain can be influenced by more than one factor.
Plantar Fascia Irritation
Irritation of the plantar fascia is a common source of pain near the heel and along the bottom of the foot.
Activity & Repetitive Loading
Changes in walking, running, standing time or other repetitive loading may aggravate symptoms in some patients.
Calf & Ankle Mobility
Limited mobility or tightness in the calf and ankle region can influence the way load is transferred through the foot during movement.
Foot Mechanics
The way the foot and lower extremity move can affect stress through the heel and plantar fascia, making the overall mechanical picture important.
Plantar Fasciitis FAQ
Common questions about plantar fasciitis care.
Plantar-fascia symptoms are often more noticeable after a period of rest and then during the first few steps when the foot begins loading again. The exact pattern should still be evaluated rather than assumed.
Modern Spine Health and Injury Care offers shockwave therapy. Whether it is appropriate depends on the diagnosis, examination findings and the individual patient's situation.
The practice also offers Class 4 laser therapy. It may be considered as part of an individualized conservative care plan when appropriate.
There is no single timeline for every patient. Symptoms, contributing factors and response to care vary, so a specific result or recovery time cannot be guaranteed.
