The SolutionThe DRX 9000 Decompression System is a
mechanized, unique, patented, FDA-cleared device
that accomplishes what no mere traction device
can. It actually has been shown to lower
pressures in discs. It does so by using a
sophisticated combination of a patented servo
motor, with an ingenious logarithmic pull, hold
and release automated program of therapy, chest
and pelvic harness, air bladders and targeted
disc angle pull adjustments designed to treat
lower back pain in a non-invasive, non-surgical
mannerThe DRX 9000 System, marketed nationwide by
RehabCo (http://www.rehabco.com/),
offers the most advanced non-surgical treatment
available in the world today for the lumbar
spine (low back) and now, with the FDA's market
clearance of the new 9000C Cervical
Decompression Module option*, for the first time
ever doctors can treat cervical (neck)
herniations and degenerative discs as well with
Decompression Therapy.
The DRX device differs from manual
manipulation and
traction devices, on the market for years, in
that it can reduce the intervertebral disc
pressure within the spine to as low as -200 mmHg
(millimeters of mercury) during each 30 to
45-minute treatments session of the total 20 to
24 treatment spread over six weeks. Each DRX
9000 treatment is centered around a logarithmic
ramp-up, hold and release protocol implemented
by a computerized, patented, super smooth
operation servo motor which helps the system
bypass the proprioceptors designed by nature to
lock down ligaments and muscles when they sense
movement at the disc. There is no other way to
exert the stretch directly upon the
disc.
