DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy is designed to bring relief to patients who suffer from spinal pain caused by degenerative spinal disease, herniated disc, facet syndrome, sciatica, etc.
By using this method, the non-surgical, non-invasive Spinal Decompression Therapy DRX9000 provides patients with pain relief and a return to active life.
Spinal decompression therapy DRX9000 is a process where a special computer-controlled device exerts forces on the spine in such a way as to stretch the spine as much as possible. This can be achieved when the paraspinal muscles – the muscles around the spine that protect the spine from injury – are relaxed.
When the paraspinal muscles are sufficiently relaxed, applying the decompression force of the DRX900 will pull the adjacent spinal vertebrae apart. This relieves pressure on the disc and root nerves. The pressure inside the compressed disc will drop and this will facilitate the movement of the fluid carrying nutrients and oxygen. By changing the pressure conditions inside and outside the disc, the herniation will recede.
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy applies force logarithmically, where the spine is lengthened without contracting the paraspinal muscles. This technology is very timeless. The engineering research and effort involved in the development of the DRX9000 began in 2001 and is still active.
The DRX9000 uses high-speed computer processing to calculate a logarithmic decompression curve for each patient individually.
A special servo-motor / servo-amplifier (“servo-motion system”) uses this calculated logarithmic curve to calculate the force applied to the patient. The servo-amplifier constantly checks (several thousand times per second) and corrects the servo motor in motion. Meters inside the DRX9000 monitor changes in the decompression force applied to each patient. All this data is constantly fed back to the main computer. He constantly recalculates and guarantees the correctness of the calculated data of the logarithmic curve for the given patient. This continuous monitoring, measurement and correction process is called a Nested Closed-Loop Feedback System. This methodology is one of the hallmarks of DRX technology.
During each 30-minute therapy, the patient relaxes comfortably on a heavily padded bed. A belt is placed on the patient's lower and upper torso. During therapy, the patient lies quietly on the bed and feels no pain, relaxes, listens to music or watches TV. The thirty-minute therapy is divided into 18 phases, where decompression forces alternate between maximum and minimum therapeutic levels. The force cycle in this way creates a pumping action that stimulates the natural supply of nutrients to the disc and adjacent tissues.
Patients with a diagnosis – disc herniation, bulging (arching) of part of the disc, protrusion (extrusion of a degenerated disc), sciatica, facet syndrome.
A small percentage of patients may experience mild muscle pain in the back at the beginning of treatment. This feeling is similar to that after physical exercise or exertion. For most patients, this therapy is comfortable and relaxing.
Before applying the DRX9000 spinal decompression therapy, the patient warms up on a special electric mattress with infrared radiation. This will release muscle tension and intensify the effect of DRX9000. After each thirty-minute therapy, the treated area is physically cooled with gel pads. An integral part of the therapy is the wearing of a lumbar belt, into which cooling gel pads are inserted. In the second half of the treatment process, it is recommended to strengthen the back and abdominal muscles at home according to the instructional film and material.
