What causes low back pain?Low back pain can be caused by a number of factors from injuries to the effects of aging.The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae, which are made of bone. Between each vertebra are soft discs with a ligamentous outer layer. These discs function as shock absorbers to protect the vertebra and the spinal cord. Many of the problems that cause back pain are the result of herniation and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. Degeneration is a process where wear and tear causes deterioration of the disc. Herniations, or bulging of the disc are protrusions from the disc that press on surrounding nerves, causing pain or numbness.
If I undergo DRX 9000 treatment, how long does it take to see results?Most patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, significant improvement is obtained by the second week of treatment.
How long does it take to complete DRX 9000 treatment?Patients remain on the system for 30-45 minutes, daily for the first 2 weeks, three times a week for the following 2 weeks, and followed up by two times a week for the last 2 weeks.
Do I qualify for the DRX9000 treatment?Since I began using the DRX 9000 spinal disc decompression unit, I’have been inundated with questions from both doctors and patients as to which cases it will best help. Obviously proper patient selection is essential to favorable outcomes, so let me explain to you of the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria so you may make the right decision since not everyone qualifies for the DRX treatment.
Inclusion Criteria:
Pain due to herniated and bulging lumbar discs that is more than four weeks old
Recurrent pain from a failed back surgery that is more than six months old.
Persistent pain from degenerated disc not responding to four weeks of therapy.
Patients available for four weeks of treatment protocol.
Patient at least 18 years of age.
Exclusion Criteria:
Appliances such as pedicle screws and rods
Pregnancy
Prior lumbar fusion less than six months old
Metastatic cancer
Severe osteoporosis
Spondylolisthesis (unstable)
Compression fracture of lumbar spine below L-1 (recent).
Pars defect
Pathologic aortic aneurysm.
Pelvic or abdominal cancer
Disc space infections
Severe peripheral neuropathy
Hemiplegia, paraplegia, or cognitive dysfunction.
Are there any side effects to the treatment?Most patients do not experience any side effects. Though, there have been some mild cases of muscle spasm for a short period of time.

The DRX is three generations past the initial VAX-D table developed years ago. Actually, the former North American distributor of VAX-D is the present manufacturer of DRX who had requested upgrades to the VAX-D unit but was refused, which explains why the VAX-D hasn’t changed in twenty years. So he and other decompression spinal practitioners brainstormed the problems with VAX-D, and with the help of many engineers, the DRX 9000 unit was developed just two years ago.The most obvious differences between the DRX9000 and the VAX-D would be their success rate and the comfort levels while a patient is being treated. Below are some side by side comparisons.DRX9000
Patient lays on back (supine)
Harnesses prevent any stress to the shoulders or arms.
The amount of decompression can be targeted to the specific disc level by varying the angle of traction.VAX-D
Patient lies face down (prone) which can be very uncomfortable
Required patients had to hold on with their hands causing severe shoulder/arm problems
Nonspecific for disc levels with its straight-line traction
How does the DRX 9000 separate each vertebra and allow for decompression at a specific level?Decompression is achieved by using a specific combination of spinal positioning and varying the degree and intensity of force. The key to producing this decompression is the gentle pull that is created by a logarithmic curve. When distractive forces are generated on a logarithmic curve the typical proprioceptor response is avoided. Avoiding this response allows decompression to occur at the targeted area
Is there any risk to the patient during treatment on the DRX 9000?NO. The DRX 9000 is totally safe and comfortable for all subjects. The system has emergency stop switches for both the patient and the operator. These switches (a requirement of the FDA) terminate the treatment immediately thereby avoiding any injuries.
How does the DRX 9000 treatment differ from ordinary spinal traction?Traction is helpful at treating some of the conditions resulting from herniated or degeneration. Traction cannot address the source of the problem. The DRX 9000 creates a negative pressure or a vacuum inside the disc. This effect causes the disc to pull in the herniation and the increase in negative pressure also causes the flow of blood and nutrients back into the disc allowing the body's natural fibroblastic response to heal the injury and re-hydrate the disc. Traction and inversion tables, at best, can lower the intradiscal pressure from a +90 to a +30 mmHg. The DRX 9000 is clinically proven to reduce the intradiscal pressure to between a -150 to -200 mmHg. Traction triggers the body's normal response to stretching by creating painful muscle spasms that worsen the pain in affected area.
Can the DRX 9000 be used for patients that have had spinal surgery?In most cases the DRX 9000 treatment is not contra-indicated for patients that have had spinal surgery. In fact many patients have found success with the DRX 9000 after a failed back surgery.
Who is not a candidate for spinal decompression therapy?Anyone who has recent spinal fractures, surgical fusion or metallic hardware, surgically repaired aneurysms, infection of the spine, and/or moderate to severe osteoporosis.
Who is a candidate for spinal decompression?Anyone who has been told they need surgery but wishes to avoid it, anyone who has been told there is nothing more available to help, anyone who failed to significantly respond to conservative options (medications, physical therapy, injections, chiropractic, acupuncture), or anyone who still has pain but wishes to obtain the type of care they want.

Spinal Decompression
www.drshoshany.com
For the first time last night I saw a positive news report on Channel 11.
The segment featured a colleague Dr. Howard Goodman D.C.
The segment talked about insurance coverage and how they do not pay for this service.
I mentioned earlier that this is still considered experimental and investigational, but what is interesting is the results are outstanding and the no chance of injuring a patient.
If you have a herniated disc and are interested in Spinal Decompression please visit www.drshoshany.com
I believe that is a step in the right direction and when the insurance companies realize that this procedure is an affordable option to expensive and risky back surgery they may start to cover it.
I make it affordable to my patients by offering them interest free payment plans for up to 18 months.

What Should I pay for Spinal Decompression?
I had a patient come by today that was interested in Spinal Decompression and already meet with a Doctor.
He was quoted $5,200, that is pretty high in my opinion and when I asked which table the doctor was using, The 3D active trac I knew that was defintley to high of a price.
I have and use the 3D active trac and never charge more than $3,500 for treatment.
I offered him treatment on the DRX 9000 table for that price and he wanted to know the diffrence of the tables, so here I go.
The DRX 9000 is more comfortable and has a much smoother and much more comfortable pull. I started with the 3D active trac and I had patients that I switched to the DRX 9000 and once they got on that they never wanted to go back on my older 3D active trac.
www.drshoshany.com
Compare the DRX 9000 to the 3D active trac.
The 3D active trac costs 13 K new and the DRX 9000 costs 115 K new. Big difference
Also 3D active trac is said to have 3D movement, but it doesn't do this while automatically set.
Before you fork over 5K when you can buy the table used on ebay for 8K do your homework.
I update my blog almost daily so consumers can make a informed choice when in comes to Spinal decompression in New York.
Several doctors are charging in my opinion too much.
If you want the best Decompression table go with a DRX 9000 or a Spine Med table, both these machines are well built and heavy duty tables that can provide a effective decompression therapy.

DRX 9000 New York
The DRX9000™ is a brand new, effective and revolutionary spinal decompression treatment. It was developed by a team of top doctors and medical engineers and promises to effectively treat back pain caused by herniated or degenerative discs. Dr. Steven Shoshany of Downing Chiropractic (www.drshoshany.com) exclusively offers the treatment to New York City back pain sufferers.
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 14, 2006 -- While back pain is among the most common complaints in medicine today, finding a reliable non-invasive treatment has proven elusive. That's why Dr. Steven Shoshany, a Manhattan based Doctor specializing in Spinal Decompression, is proud to introduce DRX9000™. This breakthrough technology is the non-invasive treatment for compressed or degenerative discs that pain sufferers have been waiting for.
Many people who suffer from chronic back pain, try several prescribed remedies to help ease their discomfort -- frequent bed rest, high doses of pain medication, perhaps even non-traditional approaches such as acupuncture. Even surgery can be at best a temporary solution. Many simply expect to live with pain.
However with the DRX9000, pain is no longer inevitable. The result of collaboration between a team of top physicians and medical engineers, the treatment is a major advancement in effectively treating low back pain resulting from herniated or degenerative discs. The DRX9000 not only significantly reduces back pain in 86% of patients, but enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.
"After only three weeks of treatment, clinical studies have shown outstanding results in relieving the debilitating pain caused by bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs, as well as sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, and many failed back surgery cases," said Dr. Shoshany. "Pre-and post-treatment MRIs have shown greater than 50% reduction in the size and extent of herniations after four weeks of treatments with the DRX9000. In fact, during the initial clinical study more than 86% of patients report relief of back pain with the DRX9000."
DRX9000 can help patients with:
• Herniated and bulging lumbar discs with or without complications
• Degenerative disc disease
• A relapse or failure following surgery, even with multiple levels of herniation
• Facet Syndrome
"The DRX9000 was created to effectively treat these conditions to help patients live a pain-free life," said Dr. Shoshany.
About the DRX9000
DRX9000 uses state-of-the-art technology to gradually relieve neural compression often associated with lower back pain. Treatment has been proven to relieve pain by enlarging disc space, helping ease herniated discs back into place, and reversing high intradiscal pressure.
"Your DRX9000 treatment begins with a series of daily sessions for two weeks, followed by treatments three times a week as needed," said Dr. Shoshany. "Each session consists of 30 –45 minutes on the DRX9000. Following each therapy session, a cold pack is applied to help paravertebral muscles consolidate after treatment. We also prescribe an exercise and nutrition supplement regimen to help stabilize the weakened areas."
The key to DRX9000 treatments is the patented electomechanical system, which allows doctors to target treatment to the injured area.
The upper body harness ensures support is distributed evenly during treatment. Once the harness is in place, patients are slowly reclined to a horizontal position. Following the physician's orders, the therapist localizes the pain and directs the treatment to the proper area. DRX9000™ helps to mobilize the troubled disc segment without inducing further damage to the spine.
For a no charge consultation to discuss this therapy and the opportunity to view the DRX9000 up close, call Dr. Shoshany's DRX hot line at (212)-645-8151 or visit him online at www.drshoshany.com
