To put the DRX9000™ technology
in it's simplest terms, it reproduces the effects of anti-gravity.
Unlike traction, which pulls the muscle and
the spine, the DRX9000™ applies forces to decrease interdiscal
pressure and enhance fluid diffusion to the disc. In other words,
the disc space is gently enlarged, allowing herniated areas to move
back into place between the vertebrae. Through the application of
negative pressure, the compressed discs are re-oxygenated, rehydrated,
and re-nutrified as they draw in moisture from the surrounding body
tissues.
The DRX9000C™ is the model that contains
a cervical attachment. This attachment allows adjustments to be
made to the cervical area of the spine, thus alleviating neck pain.
As published in the American Journal of Pain
Management, a study that compared decompression to traditional traction
showed decompression resulting in every patient experiencing improvement,
ranging from being completely pain free to experiencing substantial
relief from pain, numbness or tingling.
Patients describe the treatment as a gentle,
intermittent pulling of the back, and many report that it is so
relaxing they actually fall asleep during treatment. |
