How Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work?

Spinal decompression slowly relaxes and stretches your spine by cycling through distraction and relaxation phases. During your session, downward forces of gravity are removed. The therapy phases create negative pressure inside the disc, drawing the disc material back into place. The cycles of distraction and relaxation create a vacuum effect promoting the diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids from the outside to flow back into your discs. These extra resources of nutrients provide the building blocks that begin to heal the damaged and torn disc fibers.

The vacuum effect produced at the level of the disc pulls bulges or herniations back into place. This technology isolates a specific disc in your neck or lower back based on the treatment angle and force of the pull set for your session.

This FDA-cleared procedure is gentle and painless. It is highly effective and done safely within established protocols. Spinal decompression therapy amplifies the healing process and provides powerful pain relief. Many of our patients have often found rapid relief with us after they have tried other treatments with no success. Our doctors use a dual, revolutionary approach, combining the most advanced spinal decompression therapy with gentle upper cervical chiropractic techniques (NUCCA) to help you get better faster. 

Since starting the spinal decompression and the laser pain relief, I am back on the tennis and pickleball court. It really has helped me. And the staff is unbelievable. Very helpful and kind. Very happy I found them.

These Gentle Adjustments CanResolve Chronic Pain

The DRX9000 provides pain relief for both degenerative and compressive injuries of the spine – whether your pain is due to a specific injury or it came on over time, spinal decompression can help you. 

The DRX9000 spinal decompression treatment has a computerized feedback mechanism to help our doctors optimize your treatment. The patient lies on their back with a knee rest under their legs to help provide back support and comfort and help eliminate pelvic rotation. Put simply, that means you’ll be comfortable throughout your customized treatment.

The DRX9000 has built-in air bladders, harnesses, and disc-angle pull adjustments, all of which help us deliver the exact combination of decompression cycles alternated with relaxation cycles for your specific needs during your session. 

If You’re Suffering From Lower Back Pain, You’re Not Alone

It is estimated that 80% of people will suffer from lower back pain (LBP) during their lifetime. In fact, lower back pain is the #1 factor that limits physical activity in patients under the age of 45. Lower back pain is also one of the top reasons why patients go to the doctor and the 3rd most common condition requiring surgical procedures. 

A patient’s quality of life can be severely impacted by lower back pain, making it difficult to do everyday activities such as drive, work, sleep, or even participate in family life. The DRX9000 spinal decompression treatment is a great option for lasting lower back pain cessation.

Our practice is well-known in San Diego for offering cutting-edge technology for the non-surgical treatment of chronic lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and knee pain. Our commitment to quality patient care allows us to provide FDA-cleared non-surgical spinal decompression therapy for the gentle and safe treatment of bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, spinal stenosis, and sciatica/leg pain.

A Long-Term Solution for Better Health Could DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Be Right For You?

The causes of neck pain and back pain vary in each patient. Every individual experiences their symptoms differently. Some patients feel pain and discomfort radiating from their neck into their shoulder, arm, and hand. Other patients experience symptoms in their buttocks, hamstring area, calf, foot, or all the way down to their toes.

Luckily, although their pain is experienced differently, spinal decompression can help provide the same relief for many of these patients. Some of the most common complaints addressed by spinal decompression include:

  • Bulging discs – The disc material is still intact in a bulging disc, but the disc itself is irritating nearby soft tissue structures.
  • Herniated disc – The disc material is no longer intact with a herniated disc, causing chemical and physical irritation to nearby soft tissues.
  • Spinal Stenosis – Here, the spinal canal or foraminal openings are narrowing in your back.
  • Sciatica – This is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve.
  • Pain due to degenerative disc disease – This condition involves the failure of the disc material, which degenerates and worsens over time.
  • Pain due to degenerative joint disease – This condition causes a chronic breakdown of cartilage in the joints.

While each of these conditions is unique, spinal decompression can help provide relief for all of them. If you are suffering from chronic pain and discomfort for any of these reasons, you owe it to yourself to investigate what spinal decompression at Intouch Chiropractic can do for you.

What is the DRX9000?

The DRX9000 non-surgical spinal decompression system has an 86% success rate. It is FDA-Cleared and is a gentle and safe treatment for bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, spinal stenosis and sciatica/leg pain.

Am I a candidate for spinal decompression?

A thorough patient history, evaluation and imaging are required to qualify for non-surgical spinal decompression in our clinic. Many of our patients wish to avoid surgery, and have already tried and failed to significantly respond to conservative options such as painkillers, injections, physical therapy and traditional chiropractic care.

What is the timeline for non-surgical spinal decompression?

Non-invasive spinal decompression treatment plans are typically 10 weeks long. Recommendations are based on your unique needs and the amount of damage to your spine.

What is the difference between spinal decompression and traction?

Spinal decompression cycles through decompression and relaxation cycles allows greater changes in intradiscal pressure. Traction is a consistent pull. Traction and inversion tables lower the intradiscal pressure from a +90 mmHg to a +30 mmHg (positive pressure). Spinal Decompression is clinically proven to reduce the intradiscal pressure between -150 to -200 mmHg (negative pressure).

Which procedures complement non-surgical spinal decompression?

Our non-invasive spinal decompression treatment plans are often synergistically paired with other cutting-edge solutions, such as cold laser therapy, shockwave therapy and NUCCA Spinal Care to produce the maximum benefits and pain relief.
