Can I avoid back surgery by doing spinal decompression?

One treatment for back pain is with the Drx 9000

There is a chance you can avoid surgery by doing drx 9000 spinal decompression. Basically, what we are doing is trying to heal a disc or discs. With surgery we are cutting or fusing an area. Once we cut something out of there we can't just put it back.

We often hear in the media - this athlete is going for surgery, or this contestant on "Dancing with the Stars" is having this surgery. Keep in mind that these celebrities have a lot of money behind them and their choice of the best surgeons. Even then, you want to try to avoid it if you can.

A good surgeon may even tell you something like; "come back when it's so bad you can hardly walk". Don't get me wrong, some cases a clear surgery ones, and we may have to send you to one... Luckily, in most cases we can help with a more natural approach - Spinal Decompression.

Another Research Study Showing the Effectiveness of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

The title: “Restoration of Disc Height through Non-surgical Spinal Decompression is associated with Decreased Discogenic Low Back Pain: a Retrospective Cohort Study”
Aptel et al. You can find the study in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2010, 11:155

Here’s what they found: Before and after a six week treatment period with spinal decompression low back relief correlated with a disc height increase.
How did they do it? 30 patients with an average age of 65 were treated with the DRX 9000. 21 females and 9 males with lumbar disc herniation and low back pain were assessed via a verbal pain scale disc height was measured with CT scans.
We also use the DRX 9000 Non-surgical Spinal Decompression in our office. I have watched patients’ pain level decrease and/or vanish as well as other symptoms like tingling or numbness in the legs.

Why Does Spinal Decompression Really Work?

Over the years now, I’ve seen so many copy cats, others who claim the use decompression but don’t, and people who claim they can get the effects of decompression with simple exercises.

My feeling is that anything that can help your back is great, but for lasting back pain relief DRX 9000 decompression has been the best overall tool.

I’ve used traction, flexion distraction, exercises and more to help disc pain patients. They often help, but give only temporary relief. I will note, however, that after someone has completed a course of the non-surgical spinal decompression, those prior noted treatments will often work very well to maintain the low back. The reason is because once we finally get some good healing in the disc with the DRX, then other treatments, treatments that didn’t work well in the past, may actually work.

To answer the question above: spinal decompression works because when it decompre
sses the spine it actually creates a suction effect pulling disc material back into place. Once we do this regularly we can get the disc to stay and heal.

So, I often have patients do certain exercises or follow up with traction, inversion, or chiropractic care, but for a patient with a chronic disc problem or severe back pain the DRX 9000 treatment cannot be matched.

What Kind of Doctor Using Spinal Decompression?

In my experience it has been mostly chiropractors that use it. I have also seen it used in an orthopedics office, neurologist’s office, pain clinic and a multidisciplinary clinic (those clinics that have a variety of Doctors such as chiropractors, medical doctors and physical therapists that work together).


It tends to be Doctors that use more of a natural approach as non-surgical spinal decompression is just that- non-surgical. Its helps the body do its own healing without masking the pain with medications. Don’t get me wrong however, sometimes medications help get through the acute phases of pain if unbearable.


It does take some looking around because there are so many doctors and so many specialists to begin with not to mention each may practice a certain way.


Since chiropractors don’t give prescription medications to their patients they tend to be more knowledgeable of the various natural treatments like drx9000 non surgical spinal decompression.


Most surgeons do surgery and most M.D. and D.O’s treat their patients with medications regularly. This isn’t always the case however, and whatever Dr you go to should refer you to the appropriate practitioner when necessary.


At the CT Spine and Disc Center in Glastonbury CT, our Doctors are trained in specialized testing procedures for patients suffering with lower back pain from disc herniation, disc herniation, disc bulging and sciatica. Call our central Connecticut office at (860) 633-8756 to see if you will be a candidate.
