[You can find the rest of this case report entitled Management of Low-back Pain with a Non-surgical Decompression System (DRX9000™) – Case Report at TouchBriefings.Com. Following are a few excerpts from the case report. Personal comments are in square brackets. ]

Chronic low-back pain (LBP) is a widespread and debilitating syndrome. Approximately 25% of adults in the US report having experienced LBP in the past three months.(1) LBP is the second most common reason for a visit to a physician, the fifth most common cause of admission to a hospital, the third most common indication for surgery,(2) among the top 10 reasons for visits to internists and the most common and most expensive reason for work disability.(3)

While there are three broad treatment options for treating LBP – surgical, non-surgical and pharmacological – there is little consensus on
which approach is appropriate or preferable for various scenarios.

[In the DRX9000 case report Table 1 shows for Patient A the size of herniated discs for pre and post DRX9000 spinal decompression treatment. There appears to be significant decreases in the herniated disc sizes as well as measurable increases in the overall disc height.]
…
The DRX9000 computerised non-surgical spinal decompression system was designed to provide maximum patient benefits with the use of a non-invasive approach that may help minimise healthcare resources and offer a potentially optimal therapeutic approach to the treatment of LBP.
…
The DRX9000 aims to relieve pain by enlarging intra-discal spaces, reducing herniation and decreasing intra-discal pressure during treatment. A retrospective chart audit of 94 patients provided preliminary data that chronic LBP may improve with DRX9000 spinal decompression.6 A prospective trial with 18 patients found that pain improved significantly after DRX9000 treatment, with patients requiring fewer analgaesics and experiencing better function.(7)
…
Spinal decompression systems such as the DRX9000 have become more
prominent in clinical practice for the treatment of LBP. These systems were developed to provide a non-invasive intervention for the treatment of LBP of discogenic origin, with the goal of expanding the intervertebral space and reducing disc protrusion.
…
[The report concludes by saying that there is growing evidence-based data showing the positive effects of DRX9000 and that additional clinical studies are needed. This report builds on the previous findings that demonstrate how the DRX9000 spinal decompression system has helped with disc morphology and how Patient A in particular had reduced pain, a reduction in disc protrusion, and increased disc space after the DRX9000 treatment.]

Spinal decompression systems like the DRX9000 by Axiom Worldwide are becoming more and more popular as an alternative to spinal fusion and other invasive procedures. DRX9000 use is expected to increase as the popularity of the system among chiropractors and other healthcare professionals grows.

The DRX9000 assists healthcare providers in treating back pain conditions and other debilitating back problems by offering a non-surgical, non-invasive alternative to spinal surgeries.

According to the manufacturer, the DRX9000 can relieve pain from conditions such as:

Disc herniations
Degenerative disc disease
Bulging or protruding intervertebral discs
