DRX 9000 NYC, Manhattan-Question regarding DRX 9000

www.drshoshany.com
I wanted to post a recent question I had a reader email me, In my usual fashion I will answer below. If you are suffering with a Herniated disc or Sciatica Non surgical spinal decompression is an effective treatment.Visit our Manhattan NYC practice where we specialize in non surgical spinal decompression.


Hi Dr. Shoshany,

Just a quick question. A DC with both the DRX and the DTS told me that studies show the DRX can achieve up to (unsure of the measurement scale) minus 200 negative pressure on the disc while the DTS only reaches a plus 70. Just want to hear any comments you may have regarding this specific issue... For example, have you heard of the study, can it be accessed on the internet...

I have read your comments regarding the differences in the different tables on the market, including the following summary:


"So in conclusion you get what you pay for, A Mercedes cost more than a Ford and they both get you from point A to B but the amenities on the Mercedes makes it more comfortable and a better experience."


For me the heart of the matter is this: can the DRX and the DTS both get you from point A to B? Could the end result of treatment with the DTS be just as effective without being able to achieve negative pressure on the disk (according to the DC mentioned above)? Thanks in advance for any response you might send me, no matter how brief!

I have had this question asked more then any other, I have several decompression tables in my NYC spinal decompression office. I was one of the first to bring spinal decompression to NYC.
Hands down you will get a more consistent and concise pull with the DRX 9000.
I often recommend patients to try and see the difference in my office, once they get on the DRX 9000 they don't want to go back on the DTS.
Now I am sure you will read conflicting information on the web by doctors that only own the DTS saying it does the same thing.
If that is all I had access to then I would use it, but if I had a choice? I would always go with the better equipment.

I do recommend that you incorporate a core strengthening protocol with you spinal decompression program. One mistake I hear about is patient that where just put on the machine and then only had ice and stim. If a patient does not educate the core muscles or learn proper bending and lifting they are prone to re-injury.
I find that the treatment lasts when you strengthen the core and teach the patient how to keep the core strong.
I utilize the SpineForce machine, I believe this is the finest piece of equipment to strengthen all of the postural muscles. Check out the website at www.spineforce.com
I posted some of the information about the benefits of the SpineForce below:

Prior to SpineForce, there was no KNOWN technology in the world able to precisely target and strengthen the most important muscle chains in the body, the 180 core spinal muscles. SpineForce fills this void.


SpineForce (the device/treatment) can be used for all athletes and sports/fitness enthusiasts, regardless of age or physical condition. It is a gentle, strengthening and rehab device to complement traditional training and strengthening exercises, building a foundation of core strength, aiding in proprioception, balance and equilibrium, while preventing debilitating structural disorders. SpineForce (the treatment) is affordable for all, as the benefits of improved core strength and back health, (preventing career-ending injuries, etc.). Many insurance providers will cover treatments & offset the cost.

Key Benefits of SpineForce (Treatments):

Precisely targets core strength irregularity
Strengthens core spinal muscles that are responsible for fluidity & bodily movement
Improves proprioception, balance, range of motion, coordination, fluidity, equilibrium and posture
Relieves back pain to prevent sports injuries and other debilitating spinal conditions
Supports sports trainer/therapist strengthening exercises/routines
Stimulates spinal fluids for improved neural responses
Provides whole-body cardio workout
Description: As one knowingly applies pressure to the handles with the upper body, a push/pull action, a moving platform works synergistically to keep the torso in highly targeted positions, forcing specific core spinal muscle chains to work in coordinated effort.

The effect? The core spinal muscles are strong and the spine is flexible, healthy and pain-free.
So to sum it up, Spinal decompression for treatment of herniated disc is excellent and I highly recommend the DRX 9000 table but I do urge you to take a more active role and request a core strengthening protocol. If you can make it up to Manhattan NYC I would be happy to see you! I am sure there is a a Chiropractor in your town that utilizes the protocols that I follow. Please email me a update.

Stop The Pain Before It Stops You!!

With the DRX 9000 technology, you can receive treatment of herniated and degenerative discs without surgery! If you are like many who suffer from chronic neck and back pain, you have probably tried several prescribed remedies to help ease your discomfort: frequent bed rest, high doses of pain medication. Perhaps even non-traditional approaches such as acupuncture. And like so many, you have come to accept the fact that you just have to learn to live with your pain.

You Don't Have To Live With That Pain Anymore!
Thanks to the concerted efforts of a team of top physicians and medical engineers, a major advancement in medical technology was made to effectively treat low back pain resulting from herniated or deteriorating discs. The result of their efforts not only significantly reduces back pain in 92-96% of patients, but enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.

The decompression can help if you have herniated and bulging lumbar discs with or without complication, degenerative disc disease, a relapse or failure following surgery or facet syndromes.

This new treatment uses state-of-the-art technology to gradually relieve neurocompression often associated with lumbar, lower back pain. The process has been proven to relieve pain by enlarging disc space, reducing herniation, strengthening outer ligaments to help move herniated areas back into place and reversing high intradiscal pressures through application of negative pressure.

For Lumbar Decompression
An upper chest harness / shoulder support and a pelvic harness are used to help distribute the applied forces evenly. Once in place, you are slowly reclined to a horizontal position. Following the physician's orders, the therapist localizes the pain, makes any adjustments and directs the treatment to the proper area. The pull of decompression helps to mobilize the troubled disc segment without inducing further damage to the spine. Following each therapy session a cold pack and/or electrical muscle stimulation pad is applied to help the paravertebral muscles consolidate and strengthen after treatment. This also prevents muscles from swelling and going into spasm.

What is unique about this table?

The Evolution RMT Repetitive Motion Table



Rehab following a full decompression therapy treatment series is extremely important if the patient is to ensure themselves against reoccurrence and further injury. The Evolution DT has two computerized rehab programs incorporated within its 8 total programs available. These two programs are available for strengthening of the lumbar soft tissue. However, for more rehab we offer the Evolution RMT known for its outstanding results.

The Evolution RMT “Repetitive Motion Therapy” Table addresses mechanical disorders of the lower back using clinically proven techniques. The Evolution RMT Table is used in the clinical setting to enhance the effectiveness of repeated end range movement therapy for the low back. The RMT table enables the lumbar spine to be moved to the full degree of end-range movement in flexion and or extension a greater number of times than is physically possible by the patient alone. In the beginning stage of rehab, the patient often times has a hard time getting to full end-range position due to pain and because of poor physical endurance levels of the patient they cannot do movements long enough for a good enough response. The evolution RMT allows the patient to start rehab earlier and maintain the success of their prescribed home exercise program.



Evolution RMT Philosophy and Centralization Principles
The treatment protocols of the RMT Table are based on the patient’s directional movement preference and provides measurable and positive outcomes particularly in the management of acute & chronic, severe low back and leg pain (without a neurological deficit). Directional movement preference theory uses the rule of “Centralization” to evaluate and proceed into rehab using activities that “Centralize” the patient’s pain. Recently published scientific research articles have established that the presence of “Centralization” can be a strong indicator of discogenic pathology and is a highly accurate and reliable predictor of treatment outcome. Movement, activities and postures that cause the symptoms to “centralize” indicates the “preferred direction(s)” for the Doctor/Therapist to use in developing both an in office and self-treatment strategy for each patient. Simultaneously, the Doctor/Therapist must teach the patient how to avoid those positions, activities, and movements that cause the symptoms to move “Peripherally”. Many patients suffering from low back or neck pain, with or without referred pain, will unmistakably exhibit a “direction preference” when repeated movement and/or static positioning are applied to the spine. This means there will be a particular movement or position which will cause the symptoms to shift to a more central (proximal) location. Frequently there will be other movements or positions which will cause the symptoms to shift to a more peripheral (distal) location. An example of this is the patient who when asked to go into an extension movement (restoring normal lordosis) which in turn reduces the pain. This is the directional movement we want to begin exercise movements that will start their rehab. The Evolution RMT takes the patient through end-range passive range of motion repetitive movements and reduces the patient’s pain while increasing the patient’s range of motion.



Indications for use of the Evolution RMT
Patients who are assessed to benefit from the repeated movements on pain centralization, intensity, and location in flexion or extension.
These may include Disc patients, Stenosis patients, Facet Syndromes, or Sacroiliac syndromes where a limitation of movement occurs in the direction of “Centralization”.


Contraindications
Grade 3 and 4 Spondylolisthesis patients
Tumor or infection of the spine: Paget’s Disease etc.
Active Inflammatory diseases: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Osteoporosis, or severe Osteomalacia (-2.0 or higher on T Scale)
Advanced diabetes
Fractures, dislocations, ligament tears or ruptures.
Instability of lumbar segments or has peripheral signs on both flexion and extension.
Patients with Neurological signs: Cauda Equina Lesions, Neurological Deficits, Loss of Bladder control, etc.
Patients that have surgical fusions.
Pregnancy


Evolution RMT Advantages
Variable Speed 1 – 8 Cycles per minute
Touch screen Digital Readout
Exact, Measurable Movement
Pause Button to Change Function During Treatment
Sliding Face and Lower Back Sections for Added Comfort During Motion
Automatic Return to Horizontal Neutral Position at the End of Treatment
Slide out Foot Section.
Programmable Timed Automatic Hold at end of Extension or Flexion.


Safety in Using the Evolution RMT
Table must never be used by untrained people.
Never have patients get on or off the table while it is in motion.
Instruct the patient to never reach underneath the table while it is in motion.
Instruct patients to keep their arms on the arm rests ensuring they do not allow their arms to go below the bed level.
Make sure patient’s clothing does not drape below the table top while in motion.
Always dismount table when in the Horizontal Neutral Position



Treatment Protocols
The Physician’s diagnosis and treatment of back and neck problems involves the use of repetitive end range movements that can influence the location and intensity of pain that arises from the spine. A skilled physical examination will reveal the direction of therapeutic motion that is used to resolve the condition. This is referred to as the “directional preference.” While restoring function can be an overwhelming task, the focus can be narrowed down to the primary goal of increasing the patient's functional range (FR). Initially, this consists of the painless or pain-centralizing activities revealed in the patient's history or range-of-motion examination. Therefore, the limits of the patient's FR consist of the aggravating movements and positions, and the key functional pathology related to those symptoms. So logically, before exercise can be prescribed, a thorough history and examination of the patient's mechanical sensitivities should be carried out.

Both history, examination, and imaging tests (X-Ray, MRI, CAT Scan) are involved in this analysis. For instance, the history should identify what positions or movements aggravate, relieve or are neutral to the patient's symptoms, in particular, peripheral symptoms. An example of this would be; the patient’s sitting and forward-bending intolerances strongly suggest a disc problem, and initial setting for the RMT and self-treatment would be "biased" toward extension. Another example of the importance of a thorough history is that many patients explain that they are worse after sitting or standing for a prolonged period of time. Such postural findings are often the only clues when the examination cannot reproduce time-dependent mechanical sensitivities.

Clinical examination should include orthopedic tests that seek out the movements or positions that provoke the patient's characteristic symptoms. Examples of these would be Kemp’s, Ganslens etc. Adding the use of repetitive tests of movements, such as those in the active and passive full range ROM tests, with the intention of better simulating normal activities that are typically repetitious is very important in establishing treatment parameters. In addition, the patient's own historical report of functional activities that aggravate symptoms can be confirmed by the examination of functional activities.

The movements and positions found to aggravate symptoms are used as an audit for pre and post-testing to assess the patient's progress. In contrast, the pain-centralizing or relieving positions and movement ranges are utilized for exercise training.



Patient Treatment General Safety Precautions
The Evolution RMT provides repetitive end-range of movement for the mitigation of pain with recovery of function for mechanical spinal disorders. It is a very effective tool but it should be used with some caution. Use the following guidelines in your treatment protocols.
Start your treatment in the mid-range of movement until familiarity has provided finer conclusions to be made in selecting starting and treatment angles.
We had said before that a Grade 3 or 4 Spondylolisthesis should not be treated with the RMT but if treating a Grade 1 or 2 the fixation belt should not be used.
In the presence of significant fixation of joint movement, joint and soft tissue scarring can be overstretched if the end range of movement is too excessive or if too many cycles are performed. Always be conservative in choosing end range points and cycle repetitions.
Posterior Disc Derangements will respond very well to the RMT. It is possible to reverse the derangement but once they appear to be stable it is to the patient’s advantage to place to transfer the patient to a more active therapy of self improvement procedures.
It is especially important to watchfully scrutinize the patient’s pain and or neurological status before, during, and after treatment. Communication of treatment results will ensure modifications that will improve results.
Patients should always be reminded to use the control “Stop” treatment button when treatment is uncomfortable or increasing symptoms.
Belt fixation with the patient prone creates the opportunity to cause injury. Before applying belt fixation it is important to manually test for appropriateness. Provided the “more pressure, less pain” test is answered in the confirmatory, belt fixation may be applied. Always apply belt fixation with the patient in their maximum tolerated extended position.



Treating the Chronic Low Back Pain Patient
The patient with “Chronic Low Back Pain” is our most difficult low back case. These patients typically enter the office complaining of constant pain and have been told they will have to “Live with their pain”. In actuality they do not have continuous pain. They actually suffer from recurring episodes that create the notion that their pain is continuous. The use of the RMT will increase the mobility of soft tissue, increase joint flexibility, and increase muscle strength. When these goals are accomplished the pain often has periods of days, months, and even years of discontinued pain and healthy function. In the beginning of treatment the clinician must be aware that the chronic patient may experience a pain of a different quality. His mobility may be restored but some persisting aching, probably of chemical origin may be present for 48-72 hours after the initial treatment. The patient should be made aware of this possibility. If pain persists proper modifications to treatment should be made.

DRX 9000 Frequently asked question

DRX 9000 FAQ

DRX9000 Therapy: Most Frequently Asked Questions
As non-surgical spinal decompression therapy gains popularity in the chronic pain community, more and more back pain sufferers may want to learn if they qualify for the DRX9000 treatment. Below you will find a list of the most frequently asked DRX9000 therapy questions.

Who qualifies for the DRX9000 treatment?

Patients that may benefit most from non-surgical spinal decompression therapy could be those with: Pain from a herniated or bulging disc that is more than 4 weeks old. Recurrent pain from a failed back surgery that is more than six months old. Continual pain from degenerated discs and have not responded well to four weeks of traditional therapy. Patients with four weeks availability for treatment protocol. Patients with a minimum age of 18.

What can I expect during treatment?

During each 30-minute treatment session the patient relaxes comfortably on a heavily-padded bed. After being secured into position by an upper and lower body harness, the patient can completely relax by watching a DVD, listening to music, or simply taking a nap. Typically, each 30-minute session is divided into 18-phases where spinal decompressive forces alternate between a maximum and minimum therapeutic level.

What will I experience during the course of therapy?

Some patients may experience light side effects with this form of treatment. Mild muscular discomfort during therapy could occur. The feeling would be comparable to what a person may feel at the commencement of a new exercise routine. The majority of patients find this treatment rather comfortable and relaxing. For the period of 30-minute sessions, many patients feel a gentle stretch in the lumbar spine and have a tendency to fall asleep. Adjunctive treatments to non-surgical lumbar decompression normally include electrical stimulation and cold therapy. A lumbar support belt and/or exercise are often prescribed to preserve the benefits of non-surgical lumbar decompression therapy and advance patient compliance.

Am I still able to receive treatment on the DRX9000 if I have had back surgery?

Yes. It really depends on the kind of surgery you had. If you’ve had plates, screws, cables, and/or any sort of metal implant inserted in your spine you would not be a candidate for therapy.

Are there any exclusions why someone could not be treated on the DRX9000™?

The DRX9000™ cannot treat patients with: compression fractures, pelvic or abdominal cancer, prior lumbar fusion, severe osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis (unstable), pars defect, Pathologic Aortic aneurysm, disc space infections, severe peripheral neuropathy, hemiplegia or cognitive dysfunction

Can I be treated during my pregnancy?

No. Pregnant patients can’t be treated.

While under DRX9000 treatment, will my activities be restricted?

During the initial two weeks of treatment, patients are instructed to limit activities and are placed on light duty at work. After the second week of treatment, beginning activity is permitted. Patients who have improved by 50% are instructed on various lumbar stretching exercises to be performed in conjunction with treatment.

After finishing my 20 treatments, will I ever need to be treated again?

Patients will be put on a strengthening and rehabilitation program for about 4-6 weeks to help strengthen paravertebral musculature. Patients are to return one month after treatment for evaluation and follow-up to see if maintenance DRX9000™ treatments are needed.

To learn more about non-surgical spinal decompression therapy and the DRX9000, please contact your local DRX9000 physician.

Non-Surgical Back Decompression and Your Mid Back Pain
Non-surgical decompression therapy aims to non-surgically alleviate patients’ back and neck pain. The DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System™ aims to provide pain relief for compressive and degenerative injuries of the lumbar spine.

Non-surgical lumbar decompression therapy with the DRX9000 offers patients relief from pain associated with the following conditions:

Disc Herniations



Considered the most common root source of back pain associated with a certain structural irregularity. Pain may come overnight, but seldom does a herniated disc appear overnight.


Degenerative Disc Disease




DDD is a state of dehydration and deterioration marked by the steady erosion of the discs ability to dispense and resist mechanical loads. As discs worsen, they become more prone to injury from physical pressure. Degenerative disc disease may also play a large part in conditions such as disk bulges, disc herniations and stenosis.


Sciatica




It is a condition often associated with a herniated or ruptured disc. When the injured disc restricts one of the spinal nerves leading to the sciatic nerve, it can generate a shock-like pain that travels through the buttocks and down one leg to under the knee. Tingling and numbness are familiar in this condition. Sciatica can arise abruptly, or develop slowly.


How does non-surgical decompression therapy alleviate pain involved with herniated discs and degenerative disc disease?

The theory behind non-surgical back decompression is a course of action whereby forces are applied to the spine in a manner that maximizes spinal elongation. By enlarging intradiscal space, a disc herniation size may decrease.

Are there any exclusions why a back pain patient could not be treated on the DRX9000?

The DRX9000 cannot treat back pain patients with: compression fractures, pelvic or abdominal cancer, prior lumbar fusion, severe osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis (unstable), pars defect, Pathologic Aortic aneurysm, disc space infections, severe peripheral neuropathy, hemiplegia or cognitive dysfunction.

If anyone you know is suffering from a herniated disc, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease or sciatica, simply ask you doctor if you qualify for the DRX9000 therapy.
I also like to emphasis that this treatment is not 100% there are some patients that will not respond. It my 7 years of utilizing spinal decompression on over 500 patients maybe 5 patients did not respond favorably but they did not have a negative outcome.

To learn more about non-surgical spinal decompression treatment, please ask your physician if the DRX9000 is right for you or visit www.drshoshany.com

This post is not intended nor should be used as a substitute for professional medical help. Speak with your physician before considering any medical treatment option available.

Paralyzed man regains use of legs



By MICHELE MARCOTTE
The Daily Sentinel

Monday, December 22, 2008

Dr. Florencio Singson describes him as a success story.

Jerry Mason, a 66-year-old Parkinson's disease patient, lost the use of his legs nearly two years ago. But he has regained the ability to walk following a 40-course-treatment of Intervertebral Differential Dynamics — a noninvasive spinal decompression treatment that stretches the discs of the back — followed by laser acupuncture.

(ENLARGE)
Dr. Florencio Singson stands next to his office's Accu-Spina, the Intervertebral Differential Dynamics treatment that helped Jerry Mason, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, regain movement in his legs.


Christy Wooten/The Daily Sentinel
A trained staff member at Dr. Florencio Singson's office performs laser acupuncture to the back of Jerry Mason's leg. Mason, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, lost the use of his legs two years ago, but recently began to walk again as a result of acupuncture and spinal decompression.

Mason, seated inside Singson's Nacogdoches office on a recent Thursday, explained that regaining the use of his legs has been a gradual process.

"I'm limited in how far I can walk," he said. "I can make three laps around the house and then I'm done ... But it's been great."

Mason said approximately two years ago, back pain caused from two herniated discs slowly reduced his ability to move, and eventually hindered him completely from walking.

He said he relied almost entirely on his wife, Judy, to get him from one place to the other.

"I couldn't even go to the kitchen to make a sandwich because halfway through getting the mayo on there, I'd go down," he said.

His doctors recommended surgery, but warned Jerry that it would be a long procedure, requiring the insertion of steel rods, and he might not survive.

Judy said just about that time, she saw an advertisement for Dr. Singson which read, "Tired of living with neck and back pain?"

Having spinal complications of her own, she set up an appointment for herself and Jerry, who continued to suggest his paralysis stemmed from back problems.

Judy said during Jerry's treatments, which were Monday through Friday, Jerry would be placed on this long table-like contraption with something holding his chest and hips.

Singson said the spinal compression stretches the spine, enabling herniated discs to realign through oscillation. He noted that heat and massage are also incorporated into the computer-based treatment.

Judy said her husband began the spinal decompression treatments in August, and after a few weeks she began to notice a change.

"One day it just got easier for me to pull him out of the chair," she said, adding that she used to move her husband by pulling on a thick white strap he wore across his chest.

While the spinal decompression treatment proved successful, enabling Jerry to regain some lower body movement and reduce his pain, Singson felt laser acupuncture might further his recovery.

So after Jerry completed his last decompression treatment, Singson started him on acupuncture once a week. The acupuncture treatments, which lasted about 30 minutes, were painless, according to Jerry.

"Most of the time he just slept," Judy said with a laugh.

Singson started with the back of Jerry's legs to help improve nerve function, and has plans to move up to the hands later. The laser, which resembles a reflex hammer, is connected to a large box where adjustments can be made for frequency and time. Singson, a native of the Philippines, became familiar with the practice while in medical school, following a doctor who had learned acupuncture techniques while in China. When he moved to the United States, Singson received acupuncture certification from the University of California Irvine.

Singson said when Jerry began the acupuncture treatments, his staff would need to help Jerry onto the table, but one day, after several weeks of treatments, Jerry was able to do it by himself, and began to walk soon thereafter.

"For him to be able to do so much, it just makes you feel kind of good," Singson said, as he supervised members of his staff perform laser acupuncture on Jerry. "He's just doing great."

Singson said it is unknown how long Jerry will have to continue acupuncture, or if he will ever regain enough leg movement to be able to walk without a walker.

"It's just something we all have hopes for," Judy said.

Can Sciatica Be Treated Without Surgery?

Can Sciatica Be Treated Without Surgery?

Author: Randall Pruitt, DC, DACNB, DAAPM, MUAC, CES-NASM | Posted in Health & Fitness
by Randall Pruitt, DC, DACNB, DAAPM, MUAC, CES-NASM

The word sciatica is used by most people suffering leg pain. Many low back pain sufferers can also suffer from sciatica. Even though the term is used frequently many other conditions can be mistaken for sciatica.

The sciatic nerve is made of several spinal nerves combining together as they exit the spine. This nerve travels down the posterior thigh and splits into 2 nerves at the knee. Pain caused by sciatic irritation most often starts in the lower back and radiates down the back of the leg and into the calf or foot. Sensations may include burning, stabbing, shooting and numbness. If the pain is high enough difficulty with movement or straightening the leg is often seen.

The sciatic nerve is typically irritated from a herniated or bulging disc in the spine. This occurs when either by direct compression or chemical irritation from the inflammatory process.

The accurate diagnosis of sciatica is quite easy to make. A series of orthopedic and neurological tests are performed to determine the involvement of the sciatic nerve. If the diagnosis is made then I usually order an MRI to determine the cause.

Many different approaches are used to treat sciatica. In most cases the symptoms are the only thing addressed and not the actual cause. That is why in my opinion spinal decompression is the best choice, because it actually works to fix the underlying cause which is the disc. By reducing the pressure in the disc, the herniated material is drawn back into the disc and away from the nerve relieving the pain and soothing the irritated nerve.

Sciatica pain sufferers need to be aware of the consequences of not dealing with the actual cause of their pain. It is important to see a qualified professional to get at the root cause of your discomfort, especially if you have had sciatica before. Studies confirm that you are highly likely to experience another episode of sciatica if you only deal with the pain and not the reason behind it.

Finally, A Breakthrough In The Treatment Of Back Pain And Sciatica Caused By Bulging, Herniated, Or Squashed Discs
We believe the greatest back pain breakthrough of our century that this doctor has seen is NOT surgery,
but a little-known, state of the art technology that’s safe, painless and has recently become available inWilmington.
Wilmington - My name is Dr. Wayne Albain and the following is a true story.

Wilmington - My name is Dr.Wayne Albain
and the following is a true story.
A very well known area surgeon told one of my
very first patients… “That won’t hurt you, but
it’s not going to help”. Those were the words of
this well known surgeon.
He was referring to my new disc machine that
reduces and eliminates the back pain and sciatic
pain out of those with disc problems.
I really could not believe that a surgeon would
make that comment about a new treatment they
obviously knew nothing about.
Back SurgeonWas DeadWrong!
Lucky for my patient, he chose to take my
advice. After a thorough examination, I determined
he was a candidate for Non-Surgical
Decompression.
I recommended a course of treatments that
lasted five weeks and to my patient’s pure
delight, the severe back pain he had been taking
drugs for was going away.
By the end of his treatment, he was totally pain
free! He was pain free and off the pain medications
for good.
Do You Have A Disc Problem?
If you experience any of the following in your
back or neck, chances are your pain is due to a
disc bulge, herniation or degeneration:
1. A vice squeezing your back
2. Sitting causes back or leg pain
3. Stabbing pain at the belt line or in your neck
4. Can’t turn over in bed without hurting
5. Numbness in your toes and fingers
6. Fire down your legs
7. Searing pain radiates into your arm
8. Prickling in your thigh
Finally, Some Good News
If you’ve been suffering with back pain or
arm/leg pain caused by a disc bulge, disc herniation,
or squashed or compressed discs.
It’s all because of 14 recent medical studies on
spinal decompression.
Until recently, the only advice for many of you
suffering in pain was to try what you’ve been
told:
1. Try exercising
2. Try physical therapy
3. Try pain medications
4. Try muscle relaxers
5. Try pain shots
6. Try dangerous back surgery
7. Just live with it
If you’re like most, none of these have worked
for you or you are afraid of what could happen
if you do try some of these. Exercising makes
you hurt more, pain medications and muscle relaxers
cover up the problem and give you side
effects. Pain shots can cause more pain, don’t
work or don’t last very long or FIX the problem,
back surgery didn’t work or made you
worse. Or maybe you were one of the lucky
ones that back surgery actually helped, but now
the problem is back with a vengeance.
Whatever your situation, you owe it to yourself
to check into a Breakthrough Computerized
Non-Surgical Treatment for back pain and sciatic
or leg pain caused by a bulging, herniated
or squashed disc or discs. It has helped hundreds
of people who were suffering just like
you. This new treatment machine I’m calling
my squashed disc machine.
How Do Discs Go Bad?
Over time the discs in your back tend to get
squashed or compressed, especially if you’ve
played certain sports when younger or have a
job that requires lots of sitting or standing in
one place for long periods of time. Car
accidents, lifting things, very physical jobs just
to name a few.
It’s kinda like a cookie with cream filling, and
the cream filling will start to ooze out from
between the sides of the cookie if pressure is
applied on top of the cookie (like gravity on our
spines).
Eventually this happens to a lot of us. Statistics
are something like over 80% of Americans will
suffer with back pain sometime in their life.
Back to my new computerized squashed disc
machine.You’re probably wondering how this
new machine works.
How Does This MachineWork?
Haven’t you ever had the thought…“Gosh, if
somebody could just pull me apart…I would
feel a whole lot better”.Yeah, I know you have.
And it kinda makes a bit of sense.
Well someone else, actually a medical manufacturer,
back pain specialists, neurosurgeons
and engineers have come up with just that. A
machine that gently pulls you apart, stretches
the disc to a certain point that causes a drop in
pressure inside the disc (like a little vacuum in
the middle of the cream filling) causing the
cream filling to suck back in!
In my clinic, I’ve successfully treated hundreds
of patients with spinal decompression so there’s
no reason your back problem should be any
different.
In fact, I am so confident we can help you, I’m
willing to back it up…but not with empty
promises.
Yes, a real old-fashioned satisfaction guarantee…
but there’s one small catch…for your benefit.
You see, there’s a very small percentage of
folks we can’t help.
And that’s why I am offering for the next 7
days…

Is Spinal Disc Herniation Fixable?

Up until recently, it was thought that a herniated disc in the neck...or a herniated disc in the low back could not be repaired without surgery.

Now, it is widely accepted that nonsurgical spinal decompression of the lumbar spine or cervical spine can help a disc herniation heal naturally. It's pretty amazing if you think about it.

Sure decompression therapy will not help every single patient that does it...but nothing else will either.

We have been treating patients at my NYC Spinal Decompression clinic for over 6 years now...and the results have been outstanding. Some patients return to normal, some become a lot better than they were, some a little better...and some do not respond at all (rare).


According to preliminary research currently underway at the Mayo Clinic, John Hopkins and Duke Universities...spinal decompression is the nonsurgical treatment of the future for disc herniations, disc bulges, facet syndromes, and disc degeneration.

The spinal decompression machine used for the research was the DRX9000...the machine we have used at our NYC Chiropractic Centers.

There is a Spinal Decompression Special Report on the findings of this study that is very interesting.go to my website and look under spinal decompression research.

Sciatica treatment NYC

Sciatica is a painful symptom that may be caused by compressive forces resulting in irritation of the sciatic nerve or any of its nerve roots. It is most commonly associated with stinging, burning or numbing pain that may be experienced in the lower back, buttock, thigh, leg, or foot. Diagnosis of this particular symptom may be achieved through a physical examination or medical history review. If the condition that is causing this nerve-associated symptom is left untreated, it may have a huge impact on everyday activities such as walking, sitting, lifting and other simple movements.

This painful symptom may be caused by several conditions such as piriformis syndrome, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs and bulging discs. Although there may be several conditions that lead to similar symptoms, only herniated discs, bulging discs and degenerative disc disease are associated with the intervertebral disc.

Sciatica caused by an intervertebral disc related condition may have a wide range of painful effects. Sciatica caused by compression or irritation may produce stinging or burning lower back pain, which will quickly work its way along the buttocks and leg. In several cases, the shooting pain may lead down to the foot causing numbness. When a person is experiencing sciatica symptoms, it may be difficult for them to live a normal or active lifestyle. Unless the condition is treated, a person may not likely be able to partake in normal daily functions which may also lead to depression and other negative effects.

A physician may recommend a certain treatment option based on age, general health, medical history and degree of the sciatica causing condition. Common treatment options associated with sciatica causing conditions may include bed rest, pain medications, physical therapy, acupuncture, surgery and traction.

A relatively new treatment option to consider for intervertebral disc related conditions that lead to sciatica problems is called non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. A highly recognized device that has been shown to provide back pain relief for symptoms associated with herniated disc, bulging or protruding intervertebral discs and degenerative disc disease is called the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System. NYC spinal decompression specialist Dr. Steven Shoshany-www.drshoshany.com

This particular form of therapy is both non-invasive and non-surgical. Through the application of spinal decompressive forces to compressive and degenerative injuries of the spine, the DRX9000 has given patients relief from painful symptoms and has allowed them to resume a healthy normal life.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from an intervertebral disc condition that is causing painful sciatica symptoms, contact your local DRX9000 physician to learn more about non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. To view available clinical research data on the DRX9000, please click here.

Clinical Data Utilizing the DRX9000 will be presented at the 27th Annual ESRA Conference in Genoa, Italy!

Clinical data utilizing the DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System™ will be presented at the 27th Annual ESRA (European Society of Regional Anesthesia) Conference in Genoa, Italy September 24-27, 2008. The first study, is an IRB-approved, prospective multi-center phase II, non-randomized pilot study authored by Dr. John Leslie of the Mayo Clinic and others. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the DRX9000 in treating chronic LBP [lower back pain]. A greater than 50% reduction in pain score was observed after two weeks of treatment and upon completion of the entire six week protocol an amazing success rate of 88.9% was documented. Improvement of Oswestry scores and a decreased consumption of adjunctive pain medication was also noted. The second study, is retrospective data which included lumbar spine CT scans before and after patients were treated on the DRX9000 that demonstrates possible morphological changes associated with treatment. The authors conclude, “A significant reduction in chronic LBP after non-invasive spinal decompression correlated with an increase in disc height.” Three authors from the studies will be presenting the data at the 2008 ESRA Conference and abstracts of both studies will be available. These presentations represent an effort to further educate the International Community on the effectiveness of our products

One of the better-known tables is the DRX9000 from Axiom Worldwide, Tampa, Fla. First appearing in 2001 as the DRX2000, the table has gone through a few incarnations and now features three versions of the same model: the DRX9000, the basic lumbar table; the DRX9000 C, lumbar and cervical combo; and the DRX9500, cervical only. These tables are definitely at the higher end pricewise, running around $100,000, and there are some DCs who say they wouldn't use anything else (including Steven Shoshany, DC, of New York, about whom a profile appeared in the March 2008 issue of Chiropractic Products).

A featured aspect of this table is its Nested Closed-Loop Feedback System, an automatic control system that can adjust and self-correct according to differences between actual and desired output. The system ensures that therapy stays true to each person's logarithmic spinal decompression curve.

Other features and benefits of the DRX9000 include advanced system diagnostics that constantly monitor the device's critical subsystems, a floating lower mattress that allows natural elongation of the patient's spine utilizing special X-1R certified space technology, and a touch-screen computer that allows for easy selection of treatment parameters. There are also highly visible displays that permit monitoring of treatment from across the room, and a patient media system for advanced patient education through DVD/CD presentation.

What is it about this table that commands both the high price and the dedicated clientele? According to Axiom Worldwide marketing analyst Rick Durand, the DRX9000 series succeeds so well—1,700 units sold so far—because of two factors: first, superior components obtained through "exclusive partnerships with several technology corporations," including X-1R Lubricants, and Danaher Motion.

Durand says that in just a few weeks a research report will be issued by one of these companies that will conclusively demonstrate the higher quality of DRX components.

On a more serious note, Durand believes that "our research, documentation, and exclusive contracts" are what sets Axiom apart. In the area of patient safety, for instance, a Section 501(K) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness states that, "Axiom Worldwide maintains contact with the clinics administering the therapy, and over the past 12 years, not a single MDR report of injury has been filed for the DRX9000, which reflects the inherent safety of the device."

The company also provides educational podcasts about the DRX9000 on its Web site (www.axiomworldwide.com), currently featuring Terry Yochum, DC, DACBR, Joseph Perglolizzi, MD, and Kevin Cook, Space Foundation.
