The DRX is different. It promotes true healing to help prevent future relapses.

In order to gain clearance by the FDA, unquestionable proof was shown on impressive before and after MRI studies demonstrating herniated and bulging disc reduction.

The DRX 9000 has had great success with:

• Herniated and bulging lumbar (low back) discs with or without complications

• Herniated and bulging cervical (neck) discs with or without complicates

• Degenerative Disc Disease

• Sciatica

• Failed Back Surgery

And even more important — to go along with the DRX 9000′s 89% success rate…there were…NO DOCUMENTED SIDE EFFECTS!

Now here’s something to think about.

Research shows that 80% of most people will have back pain.  Studies show that most people who have back pain will still have it 12 months later.  The DRX 9000 not only gets rid of the pain associated with herniated and bulging discs, it also helps to repair the damage and it possible to halt or even reverse the so-called “normal” process of aging in your spine called Degenerative Disc Disease.

Your back pain probably will not go away in 12 months.  And it very well may get worse.

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.

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.

The symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease can be characterized as chronic low back pain. It doesn’t stop there…symptoms can also include low back pain that radiates to other parts of the body such as the hips, buttock and/ or thighs. A tingling sensation sometimes accompanies these symptoms as well.  Simple movements such as sitting, bending, lifting or twisting can become daunting to someone who suffers from Degenerative Disc Disease which in turn, can really interfere with one’s quality of life.

Research shows that one of the most successful NON INVASIVE treatments is Spinal Decompression.  Spinal Decompression works by gently and slowly stretching the spine allowing for the rehydration of the spinal discs and reducing pressure on compressed discs and vertebrae.

“When I first came to Dr. Ginter and his “miracle” machine, the DRX9000, I must admit that I was skeptical that anything could help the pain I’ve been in for many years. An MRI showed that I not only had a bulging and a torn disc, but nearly every disc in my spine was deteriorating. Prior to my visit to Dr. Ginter, I’d been to many doctors throughout the years who didn’t seem to know what to do about me, other than prescribe medications. I was even sent to pain management clinics, which were only temporary fixes and very expensive. When I found out about the DRX9000 I was skeptical and thought that such a machine was probably “snake oil,” but I was desperate and decided to call Dr. Ginter. After the first treatment on the DRX9000, I began to feel relief. After 3 treatments, my husband and I took a long trip out to AZ and NV. I was practically pain free the entire week we were gone. I am feeling like a “normal” person again. I highly recommend the DRX9000 and cannot praise it enough. It is truly a “miracle.”

·   A recent study shows an 89% improvement in back pain for patients undergoing spinal decompression therapy on the DRX9000.  (“PILOT:  Effectiveness & Safety of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression”.)

·   Another study also showed a 90% reduction in disc herniations in 71.4% of patients.  (Eyerman, Edward, M.D.  MRI Evidence of Nonsurgical, Mechanical Reduction, Rehydration and Repair of the Herniated Lumbar Disc.  Journal of Neuroimaging  Volume 8 / Number 2  April 1998)

·   The DRX9000 has been cleared by the FDA. 

·   Post MRI Studies show reduction and even elimination of herniations and bulges and the restoration of degenerated discs.

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition of the body that causes deterioration of the spinal discs. This is a gradual process that may compromise the spine.  The discs are prone to degenerative changes associated with aging. Long before DDD can be seen structural changes occur.  Over time the collagen (protein) structure of the usually tough exterior of the disc weakens and may become structurally unstable. Additionally, water and proteoglycans (PG) content decreases. PGs are molecules that attract water. Since the spinal discs should be made up of 70-90% water, this is damaging to the disc.  These changes can lead to the disc’s inability to handle movement.  Left untreated, DDD can lead to severe pain, loss of function, permanent dysfunction and disability.

Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000 is used for treatment of back and neck pain, as well as sciatica, caused by bulging, herniated and/or degenerative discs.  The treatments are done in a series and patients report the treatments as relaxing.  Many patients feel a significant reduction in pain after just a handful of treatments.   For more information go to http://www.CarolinaSpineRelief.com or for a FREE CONSULTATION call 919-851-1515.
