The DRX 9000 has an extremely advanced computer program that actually communicates with the body 17 times per second! With these amazing computers the DRX 9000 isolates the herniated disc and creates negative intra discal pressure. By communicating with your body 17 times per second, the DRX 9000 constantly adjusts the amount of traction to the reaction of your body. When your body senses the pull of the traction before the body can react by going into spasm, the computers in the DRX 9000 have already adjusted. This allows the machine to create that negative pressure that sucks the disc material back into the disc. Water and other disc nutrients are also drawn back into the disc to aide in more complete healing. Additional spinal care and physical therapy may accompany your case in conjunction with the DRX 9000 to help you stay pain-free. Each individual is different. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your needs to ensure that you get the most out of your DRX 9000 treatments.

It is often thought that degenerative disc disease is just a “natural” part of getting older. The common belief is, as we age, our intervertebral discs lose their flexibility, elasticity, and shock absorbing abilities. The annulus fibrosis, the ligaments that surround the discs become brittle. When brittle, they are more easily torn. At the same time, the soft gel-like center of the disc, called the nucleus pulposus, starts to dry out and shrink. The development of bone spurs, and a gradual thickening of the ligaments that support the spine and the combination of damage to the intervertebral discs can all contribute to degenerative arthritis. You cannot deny that our bodies change as we age. Our bodies basically wear out. For some reason, there are people seem to go through these changes earlier in life and faster. It can be a combination of genetics, lifestyle, or a trauma of your spine.
Not everyone has pain, even though most people have some level of degenerative changes in their spine as they age. Everyone is different. It is important to realize that not everyone develops symptoms as a result of degenerative disc disease.
You should be able to recognize the symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease. It can cause several different symptoms, such as back pain, leg pain, and weakness as a result of compression of the nerve roots. The worn out discs are the source of pain because they do not function as well as they once did. As they shrink, the space available for the nerve roots also shrinks. The discs between the intervertebral bodies will begin to wear out and the entire lumbar spine becomes less flexible. The end result is usually people complaining of back pain, stiffness especially at the end of the day.

Herniation of the disc is defined as an abnormality of the intervertebral disc. This condition is also known as a “slipped,” “ruptured,” or “torn” disc. This occurs when the inner core known as the nucleus pulposus, bulges out through the annulus fibrosis, the outer layer of ligaments that surround the disc. It is the tear in the annulus fibrosis that causes pain in the area of the herniation. The pain may even spread to the area of the body that is served by the spinal nerve (like sciatica) if the protruding disc press on the spinal nerve.
There is a pair of spinal nerves between each vertebra in the spine. They branch off from the spinal cord to a specific area in the body. Any part of the skin that can experience hot and cold, pain or touch refers that sensation to the brain through one of these nerves. As a result, pressure on a spinal nerve from a herniated disc will cause pain in the part of the body that is served by that nerve.

The most common cause of sciatica in the lumbar spine is herniated discs. The sciatic nerve may become affected as a result of Degenerative Disc Disease which is known to cause disc weakness that can be a precursor to a disc herniation. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis which is a narrowing of one or more neural passageways due to disc degeneration and/or facet arthritis may also be the culprit.
Another possibility is a stress fracture often resulting in Isthmic Spondylolisthesis. When this happens, many times this fracture will usually occur at the 5th lumbar vertebra known as the L5. This is your last lumbar spinal bone just below the top of your hips. Disc space collapse along with the fracture may allow the vertebra to slip forward on the first sacral segment know as the S1. This slippage may cause the L5 nerve root to become pinched as it exits the spine.
A complete evaluation by a medical professional can rule out or confirm the cause of Sciatica and put your on the road to recovery.
