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.

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!

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.

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.
