Spinal Decompression NYC

Study published in Pain Practice, indicates that chronic low back pain may improve with treatment on the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System


The study titled, “Treatment of 94 Outpatients With Chronic Discogenic Low Back Pain with the DRX9000: A Retrospective Chart Review,” indicates that patients with a mean pain duration of 535 weeks (Over 10 years) reported a mean verbal numerical pain intensity rating equal to 6.05 on a 0 to 10 scale prior to treatment with the DRX9000™.

Patients were treated at four randomly chosen clinics throughout the United States. They received 30-minute DRX9000 sessions daily for the first 2 weeks tapering to 1 session/week.



After the completion of the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System therapy, the mean verbal numerical pain intensity rating decreased to a statistically and clinically significant rating of 0.89.



Furthermore, patients also reported a decrease in analgesic use and improvement in activities of daily living.



The authors were able to follow-up at a mean 31 weeks with 29 patients and reveal mean values of 83% improvement in back pain and satisfaction of 8.55 on a 10-point scale. None of these 29 patients reported requiring surgery. The authors also acknowledge that there are other spinal decompression systems available commercially. However, they suggest that the design difference between these devices, “…may lead to differing physical responses to therapy, so studies of one type of apparatus should not readily be applied across all machines.”

The reason i posted this recent study is because I applaud Axiomworldwide for connecting with the mayo Clinic, Stanford Universty and John Hopkins university.
The only thing needed now is double blind clinical studies to confirm that Spinal Decompression on the DRX 9000 is effective enough to become the standard of care for treatment of the Herniated Disc.
