Spinal decompression therapy, for both the lumbar and cervical spine, is a non-invasive treatment designed to relieve chronic back and neck pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease. Using advanced systems like the DRX9000 and DRX9000C, this therapy works by gently stretching the spine to reduce pressure on intervertebral discs. This creates negative intradiscal pressure, encouraging herniated or bulging disc material to retract and improving the flow of nutrients, oxygen, and fluids necessary for healing.
For the lumbar spine, the DRX9000 targets chronic low back pain, sciatica, and related symptoms. Patients undergo a series of sessions, typically lasting 30 minutes, where precise traction is applied to elongate the spine and decompress affected areas. Clinical studies show significant pain reduction, improvements in mobility, and measurable increases in disc height for many patients.
In the cervical spine, the DRX9000C provides similar benefits, addressing neck pain, arm discomfort, and headaches resulting from spinal disc issues. By relieving pressure on cervical discs, this therapy reduces nerve compression and promotes natural healing, offering a non-surgical alternative to traditional treatments.
Both the DRX9000 and DRX9000C are FDA-cleared devices that use computerized adjustments to deliver safe, tailored decompression. This therapy is particularly valuable for individuals seeking a non-surgical, drug-free solution for debilitating back pain, offering a promising alternative to invasive treatments.
I’ve been going to ASFC for about 15 years. As a small business owner myself, I can appreciate how much time, patience, effort, and dedication it takes to build a successful business. My job is very physical. The Schraub family and ASFC is the reason I am able to stay healthy and continue working. The decompression table along with the therapy I’ve received has helped me get through the pain and discomfort that comes with a physically demanding career and “bad back." I would highly recommend for anyone who is experiencing this type of issue.
