Spinal Decompression NYC

33-year old male with a six year history of low back pain, has successful treatment with the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System

It is estimated that back pain afflicts over 31 million Americans and is the number one cause of activity limitation in young adults.1 In addition, 80% of people over the age of 30 will experience back problems at some point in their lives. 30% of those will have recurring problems.2



A great example was seen in a recent case report underwritten with a grant from Axiom Worldwide which was featured in issue 2 of US Musculoskeletal Review 2007. The case study titled, Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings after Treatment with a Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System (DRX9000(TM)) - The case report reveals how a 33-year old male with a six year history of low back pain, lowered his reported overall pain level score of 6, on a 0-10 scale, to a pain level score of 0 after 6 weeks of treatment on the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System.



The subject had pre-MRI findings which revealed moderate degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine with loss of disc signal at most levels, as well as disc bulges at L3/L4, L4/L5, and L5/S1. After 6 weeks of treatment on the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System, his follow-up MRI demonstrated an increase in intra-discal signal on T2-weighted sagittal images at L2/L3, L3/L4, L4/L5, and L5/S1, reflecting an improvement in disc morphology.



The authors conclude, "Our case report demonstrates the positive hydrating effect that the DRX9000 treatment has on the inter-vertebral disc.
