Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression for Back & Neck Pain
Advanced Disc Relief at New Hope Family Chiropractic
Chronic back pain or neck pain can make even the simplest daily activities feel overwhelming. Many people suffer for years with bulging or herniated discs, often cycling through medications, injections, or being told surgery is the only remaining option.
At New Hope Family Chiropractic, I offer non-surgical spinal decompression using the DRX9000, a drug-free, FDA-cleared treatment designed to relieve disc pressure, reduce nerve irritation, and support the body’s natural healing process — without surgery or long recovery times.
What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?
Your spinal discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. When a disc becomes damaged, it can bulge or herniate, placing pressure on nearby nerves. This often leads to pain, numbness, tingling, or symptoms such as sciatica that radiate into the arms or legs.
Spinal decompression therapy is designed to relieve this pressure. By gently and precisely stretching the spine, decompression creates negative pressure within the disc space — a vacuum-like effect that can help:
- Retract bulging or herniated disc material
- Reduce pressure on spinal nerves
- Improve the flow of oxygen, nutrients, and fluids back into the disc
- Support disc rehydration and natural healing
The DRX9000: Advanced Decompression Technology
The DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System, manufactured by Excite Medical and cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is considered one of the most advanced decompression systems available.
Unlike traditional traction, which can cause muscles to tighten and resist treatment, the DRX9000 uses a computer-controlled servo-motor system that applies a gentle, intermittent force along a precise logarithmic curve.
This technology:
- Continuously monitors and adjusts force multiple times per second
- Prevents the body’s natural “muscle guarding” response
- Allows for targeted decompression at the specific injured disc level
During treatment, patients lie comfortably on the table. Many find the sessions so relaxing that they fall asleep.
Clinical Evidence & Success Rates
The effectiveness of the DRX9000 has been evaluated in multiple clinical studies, including research associated with institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins.
Key findings include:
- Pain reduction: A multi-center study of patients with an average of ten years of chronic back pain reported an 88.9% success rate in pain reduction following a six-week treatment protocol.
- Disc healing: Case studies using pre- and post-treatment MRI imaging have shown significant improvements, including complete resolution of certain L5/S1 disc herniations and measurable increases in disc height.
- Lasting relief: Follow-up data suggests long-term benefits, with studies showing that years after treatment, many patients maintained low or zero pain levels and were able to return to normal daily activities.
While early marketing claims by original manufacturers led to unrealistic expectations, more recent clinical evidence supports success rates of 80–90% in appropriately selected patients.
What to Expect During DRX9000 Treatment
A typical DRX9000 care plan consists of a structured series of treatments over several weeks.
Frequency & Duration
- Approximately 25–30 sessions
- Completed over 4–6 weeks
- Each session lasts about 25 minutes
The Treatment Process
- You’ll be fitted with a comfortable harness
- You’ll lie in a relaxed, horizontal position on the decompression table
- The DRX9000 delivers gentle cycles of stretching and relaxation based on your specific condition
A Comprehensive, Supportive Approach
For optimal results, spinal decompression is often combined with complementary therapies, which may include:
- Preparatory muscle stimulation using an intersegmental table
- Post-session laser therapy to support tissue healing
- Targeted core-strengthening and stabilization exercises once pain levels improve
This multi-modal approach is designed to support healing, improve spinal stability, and help prevent future injury.
Is DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Right for You?
While many patients benefit from spinal decompression, not everyone is a candidate. Conditions that may exclude treatment include:
- Pregnancy
- Severe osteoporosis
- Recent spinal fractures
- Surgically implanted spinal hardware such as rods or screws
A thorough consultation and evaluation are essential to determine whether DRX9000 spinal decompression is appropriate for your specific condition.
