Why spinal decompression works?
Decompressing the lumbar discs relieves pressure on the spinal nerves often caused by the disc herniations, degenerative disease, sciatica or posterior facet syndrome. The process using the DRX9000 equipment has been proven to relieve pain by enlarging disc space, reducing herniations, strengthening outer ligaments to help move herniated areas back into place and reversing high intra-disc pressures through application of negative pressure. An automatic shoulder support system stabilizes the patient’s upper body. While the DRX9000 automatically adjusts to the proper angle of distraction, a lordotic air bladder system acts as a fulcrum to the angle of pull, allowing targeting specific lumbar discs. The distractions forces utilize a logarithmic curve to avoid proprioceptor response, which would create muscle spasm. The split table design decreases friction and allows separation of the vertebra, minimizing the effect of gravity. Unlike traction, which pulls both muscle and spine, the DRX90
