Does Spinal Decompression Work?

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

There’s a lot of talk about spinal decompression as the latest and greatest sciatica treatment at the moment, especially in relation to the system that uses the DRX9000 machine.

It has been shown that the DRX9000 system can give great results, however its NOT A MAGIC BULLET.

It needs to be used in conjunction with a home care regimen and exercise program and has very specific treatment procedures that must be followed in order to give the DRX the best chance of working.

Unfortunately, some patients are hoping for the elusive magic bullet - the magic pill as it were

Chiropractors report conversations such as: “I spoke to a patient recently with multiple level disc herniations in her low back. She wanted to know if we could get her in for a (i.e. just one) session so she could fix her back problem before she went on vacation. When I told her the treatment required 20 one hour sessions over 6 weeks, she about fainted.”

The DRX9000 treatment regimen for the lumbar spine includes:

- wearing a specially designed lumbar support during the day to make sure things you do when you leave the clinic do not reverse the work the DRX spinal decompression system does.

- refraining from exercise.

- doing specific spinal exercises once you reach the half way point.

- drinking 80-100oz of water per day which helps to hydrate the spinal discs and flush out waste products.

Summary:
There’s a lot involved with DRX9000 decompression therapy - make sure you are ready for it and you increase the odds of a favorable outcome.

Also, try the exercises in our back health exercise course. It’s free and might just give you the change in your routines your back needs.
