As our population continues to grow and overall health diminishes due to poor eating habits or stress, the number of back pain problems may amplify considerably over the next decade. Non-surgical decompression therapy aims to non-surgically alleviate patients’ back and neck pain. The DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System™ is designed to provide pain relief for compressive and degenerative injuries of the spine.

Back Decompression with the DRX9000 provides patients relief from pain associated with the following conditions:

Disc Herniations

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

Degenerative Disk Disease

DDD is a state of dehydration and deterioration manifested by the gradual erosion of the discs ability to dispense and resist mechanical loads. As disks deteriorate, they become more prone to injury from physical pressure. Degenerative disc disease may also play a important role in conditions such as disc 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 produce 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 transpire suddenly, or develop gradually.

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

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

Are there any exclusions why someone could not be helped with 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 you know is suffering from a herniated disc, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease or sciatica, simply ask you physician if you qualify for the DRX9000 therapy.

To learn more about non-surgical spine decompression, please ask your physician if the DRX9000 is appropriate for you.

6. Print in black- unless needed set the printer to print in black mode save on color ink.

7. Use draft (economy) mode- unless you are printer something that needs to be high quality print in draft mode, it uses less ink.

8. Use print software google search: type in printer ink saving software one highly respected program is inksaver.com. Perhaps your printer may come with a similar software package.
