Herniated Discs can cause a variety of symptoms – sometimes severe and debilitating. Several treatment options exist to treat the symptoms of a Herniated Disc, but a revolutionary treatment known as DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy has turned the world of Herniated Disc treatment upside down.

To understand how DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy works you must first understand how a healthy spinal disc (also know as an Intervertebral Disc) functions. Spinal Decompression Therapy is the only treatment that has been scientifically proven to correct a Herniated Disc without surgery. DRX9000 Spinal Decompression is painless, non-surgical and highly effective.
Disc Bulges, Herniated Discs and Disc Extrusions:: An Overview
The bones of the spine are separated by tough cartilage pads called intervertebral discs (inter = “between”; vertebral = “bones of the spine”). Healthy intervertebral discs are thick and flexible (like a wet sponge) and allow a wide range of motions. An unhealthy disc is stiff and hard (like a dry sponge) and is prone to conditions like Disc Bulges or Herniated Discs. Over time gravity, joint dysfunction and cumulative trauma cause the spinal discs to compress, flatten or degenerate. This constant disc compression prevents oxygen and nutrients from entering the spinal disc. This ongoing starvation causes the once-tough outer layers of the disc to become soft which allows the disc to become injured or degenerated. Disc conditions can occur anywhere in the spine. However, the discs of the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine) are the most commonly injured.
Significant disc injury can lead to a Spinal Disc Bulge, become a tear called a Herniated Disc or the inner “jelly” material of the disc can leak out in the case of a Disc Extrusion. The “jelly center” of the disc can also dry out which is referred to as Degenerative Disc Disease. All forms of disc conditions can eventually pinch the nerves that exit the spine (“Pinched Nerve”) which can create numbness, tingling, burning or sharp pain down the legs or arms. Sharp pain “shooting” down the legs is often referred to as Sciatica.
The most effective treatment available to reverse herniated discs is Spinal Decompression Therapy using the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Unit.
Herniated Disc:: DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy removes pressure on the spinal nerves caused by the Herniated Disc. When the direct nerve compression is gone, so is the pain!
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression achieves this by reducing pressure within the discs (also called decompression) by slow and methodically separating the vertebrae of the spine. When the pressure is brought down to zero and then below zero a vacuum is formed. This vacuum “sucks” the Herniated Disc back toward the center. Over time the disc regains a healthy shape returning the spine to its normal pain-free function. This vacuum also pulls important oxygen and nutrients into the disc to begin the healing process to reverse the disc degeneration.
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression:: Formula for Relief
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy is the only treatment that has been scientifically proven to reduce this pressure to 160 mmHg BELOW ZERO (-160 mmHg). This reverses the flow of disc fluid allowing oxygen and nutrients to return to the disc (spinal decompression) to start the healing process. As an example traction has only been shown to reduce intradiscal pressure to around 40 mmHg ABOVE ZERO – no vacuum is created with traction.
The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy motion is computer controlled to provide gentle and painless decompression of the spinal discs. The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Unit cycles the treatment through a series of gentle pulls followed by brief periods of rest. This oscillation creates a “pumping” action that enhances the effectiveness of the negative disc pressure generated by the DRX9000.
