DRX9000 non-surgical spinal decompression system

The DRX9000 was designed by a specialized team of engineers at Axiom Worldwide to meet the needs of today's patient, offering physicians the clinical outcome they desire and patients the quality of life they deserve. This system is the latest cutting-edge technology to improve the quality of life for those suffering from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and other back ailments.

The NEW Treatment for Low Back Pain… DRX9000

In the past, a patient suffering from disc problems usually was given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren’t progressing they were sent for spinal surgery. Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option… until now.

Today, you don’t have to live with that pain anymore.  The DRX9000 was developed to effectively treat lower back pain and sciatica resulting from herniated or deteriorated discs. The DRX9000 not only significantly reduces back pain , but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.

Does the DRX9000 really work?

The DRX9000 has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and even relapse or failed back surgery. Since its release in 2001, clinical studies have revealed an amazing  success rate in treating lumbar and neck disc related problems with the DRX9000.

How does it work?

The DRX9000 uses state of the art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica.

DRX-9000 Frequently Asked Questions
What causes low back pain?

Low back pain can be caused by a number of factors from injuries to the effects of aging.The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae, which are made of bone. Between each vertebra are soft discs with a ligamentous outer layer. These discs function as shock absorbers to protect the vertebra and the spinal cord. Many of the problems that cause back pain are the result of herniation and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. Degeneration is a process where wear and tear causes deterioration of the disc. Herniations, or bulging of the disc are protrusions from the disc that press on surrounding nerves, causing pain or numbness.

If I undergo DRX9000 treatment, how long does it take to see results?

Most patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, significant improvement is obtained by the second week of treatment.

How long does it take to complete DRX9000 treatment?

Sessions times are between 30-45 minutes, daily for the first 2 weeks and 3 times per week for the following 2 weeks. Though, the number of sessions may vary depending upon the severity of the condition.

What is the success rate of the DRX9000 Treatment?
