Lumbar spinal decompression may be considered in circumstances creating lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar disc injuries, degenerative disc illness, disc rupture and nerve root impingement. These are symptoms which, in most cases, can be treated with the DRX9000 spinal decompression table.

The idea of intervertebral decompression is not a new thought, modern technology has ran with the concept of  fighting what gravity can do to the body. Inversion tables have actually been used for decades. And while the premise is along the right path, the efficiency doesn’t compare to the what spinal decompression treatments are capable of.

A doctor of chiropractic is likely going to be the health therapy expert that will suggest decompression treatment. Orthopedic physicians and other health care treatment centers also give this kind of treatment but not as commonly.

Lumbar Spinal Decompression For Disc Related Pain

The signs of a ‘slipped’ or herniated disc aren’t limited to but include: radiating discomfort, numbing, tingling down the lower limbs, and back soreness.

Lumbar Spinal Decompression

Lumbar spinal decompression via a non-surgical spinal decompression table is different than spinal decompression surgery. Lumbar spinal decompression therapy is a conservative treatment that attempts to decompress the joints and discs of the lower back. Lumbar spinal decompression may be considered when other conservative treatments have failed.

Some of the symptoms and conditions that may be able to be helped are : sciatica, back and leg pain, spinal stenosis, lumbar facet syndrome or facet arthritis, bulging discs, pinched nerve, herniated discs,and  degenerative discs disease. It may be used as alternative to back surgery in some cases. Remember, all cases  are unique and need to be assessed individually. Lumbar spinal decompression is one possible modality that may be appropriate for some people.

The DRX9000 (which treats the lumbar spine for lower back conditions) and the DRX9000C (which treats the cervical spine for neck and arm pain) are forms of treatment referred to as “non-surgical spinal decompression therapy.”

Spinal decompression therapy is an effective treatment option for the management of pain and disability for patients who are suffering from lower back pain, leg pain and/or sciatica and nerve or joint and soft tissue pain generated from the discs in the low back or neck.

The application of treatment with the DRX9000 is designed to apply decompression forces to compressed and degenerative structures of the spine.

Non-surgical spinal decompression treatment involves a series of rhythmic, intermittent and alternating stretching and relaxation cycles. The gentle forces are targeted to the injured spinal areas which aim to relieve the pain and symptoms associated with herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica and facet syndromes (like facet arthritis).

We offer this therapy in the Denver, Colorado metro area. DRX9000 spinal decompression is available at our Lakewood chiropractic clinic.

on spinal decompression therapy, what you are about to see is a pretty good one. It’s by radiologist, Terry Yochum, who along with Lindsay J. Rowe of Australia, authored the radiology textbook Essentials of Skeletal Radiology. 3rd ed. He’s been around a while and seen a fair share of herniated disc treatments up close and personal on MRI and this video delivers objectives DRX9000 reviews.

DRX9000 Reviews – Surgery Alternative

As a back surgery alternative, DRX9000 spinal decompression can be an effective treatment for herniated discs, as you saw in the video. It can also be an option for the treatment of spinal stenosis in some cases, depending on the DRX9000 locations clinical assessment.  Non-surgical spinal decompression becomes more appropriate if conservative physical therapies such as stretching, strengthening, chiropractic and core stabilization exercises are not providing sufficient back pain relief. The cost of spinal decompression therapy is far below most any back surgery and as the above chiropractic radiologist explains,  DRX9000 spinal decompression therapy is a safe and effective alternative to back surgery. Non-surgical spinal decompression can be appropriate for the conservative treatment of bulging discs, herniated discs in the neck or low back and in some cases it can be an effective treatment for conditions like spinal stenosis and sciatica which are caused by compressive forces or degenerative discs or joints.

DRX9000 reviews like the one above are becoming more common.

Many back surgeries can be very aggressive procedures.  DRX9000 reviews in the literature do not show it to be a high risk procedure, in fact many professionals consider it to be one of the least invasive of all herniated disc treatments. In my DRX9000 spinal decompression location near Denver, Colorado, in Lakewood, it is the preferred treatment for many chronic low back cases as well as disc related conditions. The patients in my clinic have had mostly positive experiences and coincide with Dr. Yochum’s DRX9000 reviews

Here’s a quick recap of this DRX9000 spinal decompression review…

In a study of 50 patients, Dr. Noriaki Yamamoto and others reported that 76% of patients were satisfied because of the treatment that they received by means of the DRX9000.

A study titled, “The treatment of lumbar disc disease using DRX9000” is published and documented in the December issue of the Nigata University Journal of Health and Welfare. Following the treatment of fifty patients with the DRX- 9000, Dr. Noriaki Yamamoto and others reported that 76% of patients felt satisfied with treatment.

Why is this DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Review important?  I think patient satisfaction is pretty important. Especially if a patient is given high hopes that an invasive procedure such as certain types of back surgery is the answer. In defense of the surgeons, sometimes there is no one answer with back pain- it can be complicated.

DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Review of Research

According to Calodney, (1) the diagnosis and treatment of persistent pain in the low back patient who has been previously operated on is an increasingly common and complex problem. Each year approximately 916,000 spinal surgeries are performed in the United States.(2)

Not all are successful, in fact there’s an official diagnosis for when back surgeries go bad- “Failed Back Surgery Syndrome.”

I’m not really hip with the term failed back surgery ‘syndrome. It’s not a disease that the patient has acquired, it’s more of a misnomer used to describe the outcome of patients who continue to experience back pain after back surgery or have complications from the back surgery procedure itself.

Of note, there is no equivalent term similar a post-surgical syndrome for any other type of surgery (e.g. there is no “failed heart surgery syndrome”). It’s sort of like, “Sorry, it didn’t work. Here’s your new label- Failed Back Surgery. And as a bonus it comes with a whole new set of problems.”

DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Review- Alternative Treatment

When conventional treatments for low back pain such as chiropractic, massage, acupuncture and physical therapy fail to provide relief to the chronic low back patient, spinal decompression therapy as a non-surgical treatment for disc related low back pain, disc related arm and hand pain, leg pain or sciatica can be an effective alternative to surgery.

Many patients choose it simply as a ‘last resort’ therapy since one of the most appealing aspects of the DRX9000 therapy is it’s relatively high success rate coupled with the low risk factor. Even in the cases when it’s not successful, the patient doesn’t have to deal with the repercussions of the invasive nature of surgery.
