Patients typically undergo 15 to 20 treatment sessions.  Each treatment lasts between 30 – 45 minutes.  This, of course, depends on your individual case and is determined by a thorough evaluation.  Following each session, a cold pack and electric muscle stimulation are applied to help pain relief and speed the healing process.

It is important to note that many patients get substantial, immediate relief after just a few treatments.  Some after just one!

The really good news is…this is not something you have to continue to do for the rest of your life.  So, it is not a big commitment when you think of the reward. NO MORE PAIN!

The staff at Core Health Systems put your comfort first! Throughout the treatments, the staff will check on you to make sure you are comfortable and feeling at ease.

After being fitted with an automatic shoulder support system, the DRX 9000 slowly lowers you to a horizontal position. You are lying face up.  The automatic shoulder support system helps to stabilize your upper body.

The advanced computer system automatically adjusts to the proper angle of distraction, an air bladder system acts as a fulcrum to the angle of pull, allowing us to target specific discs that are causing your pain and symptoms.

The distractive 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.

Painless Treatment!
Patients describe the treatment as a gentle, painless, intermittent pulling of your back.  Many patients actually fall asleep during treatment!

***Before you can begin your DRX9000 program, you must schedule a consultation with Core Health Systems to ensure that you are a candidate.***

Restoration of disc height through non-surgical spinal decompression is associated with decreased discogenic low back pain: a retrospective cohort study.

Background

Because previous studies have suggested that motorized non-surgical spinal decompression can reduce chronic low back pain (LBP) due to disc degeneration (discogenic low back pain) and disc herniation, it has accordingly been hypothesized that the reduction of pressure on affected discs will facilitate their regeneration. The goal of this study was to determine if changes in LBP, as measured on a verbal rating scale, before and after a 6-week treatment period with non-surgical spinal decompression, correlate with changes in lumbar disc height, as measured on computed tomography (CT) scans.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study of adults with chronic LBP attributed to disc herniation and/or discogenic LBP who underwent a 6-week treatment protocol of motorized non-surgical spinal decompression via the DRX9000 with CT scans before and after treatment. The main outcomes were changes in pain as measured on a verbal rating scale from 0 to 10 during a flexion-extension range of motion evaluation and changes in disc height as measured on CT scans. Paired t-test or linear regression was used as appropriate with p < 0.05 considered to be statistically significant.

Results

We identified 30 patients with lumbar disc herniation with an average age of 65 years, body mass index of 29 kg/m2, 21 females and 9 males, and an average duration of LBP of 12.5 weeks. During treatment, low back pain decreased from 6.2 (SD 2.2) to 1.6 (2.3, p < 0.001) and disc height increased from 7.5 (1.7) mm to 8.8 (1.7) mm (p < 0.001). Increase in disc height and reduction in pain were significantly correlated (r = 0.36, p = 0.044).

Conclusions

Non-surgical spinal decompression was associated with a reduction in pain and an increase in disc height. The correlation of these variables suggests that pain reduction may be mediated, at least in part, through a restoration of disc height.

Even if it’s chronic and you’ve been told that there’s no way to get rid of it, or that you have to have surgery to “fix” it, or that injections are the only relief you’re going to get.  Whatever you’ve been told that has you stuck thinking that you have to give up on your hopes and dreams may be completely false.  At Core Health Systems, we’ve seen people that are completely hopeless.  They have given up.  They’ve tried everything else…

They’ve been on that Epic Journey!

Now thousands of people that have been battling with all of the typical treatments, going back and forth, having the tug-o-war with the temporary fixes for their pain, are getting a glimpse of hope with the Non-Surgical treatment that we do in our office.  People that have been written off, that have less than snowballs chance as they put it have been pleasantly surprised by the fact that they CAN and DO get their lives back when everything else has failed.  And everyone else for that matter.

It doesn’t’ always work, and not everyone’s a good candidate, but you don’t know unless you take a look for yourself.  You don’t need to travel to all 46 countries to see if there’s a way for you to avoid surgery and get rid of the pain, or if you have failed back surgery, to get rid of the pain.  You can give us a call and come in for yourself and see if your condition that’s causing your pain is one that we think we  can help.

Just like they are bringing the world we thought we’d never see into our living rooms, we’ve brought the best science has to offer to get you out of pain right here in your backyard!

So if you’re tired of feeling bad, tired of the pain, or you ordered that report for a friend or loved one and you’re tired of them being in pain.  Maybe today’s the day that the epic journey ends.

If you or a friend or loved one has pain it’s not your fault or their fault.  Its taken science decades to finally find a non-surgical solution that works for most people that have chronic back pain that’s disc related.

So hopefully this is the day you decide to finally give us a call.

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.

There’s so much talk about going green these days and that makes us think about how going green applies to back pain.  Going green for back pain means preserving the tissues and attacking the cause.  It means NOT to do a bunch of injections that have been shown to disintegrate the tissues over time, NOT to digest a bunch of pills that simply mask the condition by making someone desensitized to the pain, NOT doing back surgery unless there is a neurological deficit, nerve death, or fragment of disc lodged in the spine.

Go green by trying the only treatment that studies show has 89% success for treating severe back pain, including herniated discs, disc bulges, degenerative disc disease and sciatica.

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.

The biggest and most accepted myth about back pain is that it goes away without any medical treatment.  It has been said that 90% of low back pain will resolve itself within one month. A May 1998 study in the British Medical Journal showed this is indeed a myth, and completely false.  Even a decade later this myth is still being promulgated by professionals.  Patients who suffer from low back pain went to their doctor for a consultation and after 12 months were followed up with. The results are as follows:

  • 25% had no pain and no disability.
  • 25% had either pain or disability.
  • 50% had pain AND disability

The author of that study concluded:  “This takes into account two consistent observations about low back pain: first, a previous episode of low-back pain is the strongest risk factor for a new episode, and, second, by age 30 years, almost half the population will have experienced a substantial episode of low-back pain.  These figures simply do not fit with the claim that 90% of episodes of low-back pain end in complete recovery.”

This author’s conclusion based on the results show that without the proper treatment, 75% of back pain sufferers will have either pain or disability OR, pain AND disability just one year after their initial consultation with a physician if they try to allow it to go away without any medical treatment.
