Overview: The NEW Treatment for Low Back Pain? DRX9000
Wright Spinal Solutions offers the latest cutting edge technology in the non-surgical treatment of serious chronic lower back pain and sciatica. Our commitment to offering the highest quality of care resulted in the addition of the FDA cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression technology for the treatment of back pain due to:
Back Pain
Sciatica
Herniated and/or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
A relapse or failure following surgery
Spinal Stenosis
At Wright Spinal Solutions, we are dedicated to improving the health and function of our patients. We do this by combining traditional chiropractic care with state-of-the-art technology to deliver an unprecedented level of service. Our results speak for themselves.
In the past, a patient suffering from disc problems usually was given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren't progressing they were sent for spinal surgery. Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option? until now.
Today, you don't have to live with that pain anymore. Thanks to the concerted efforts of a team of top physicians and medical engineers, the DRX9000 was developed to effectively treat lower back pain and sciatica resulting from herniated or deteriorated discs. The DRX9000 not only significantly reduces back pain in over 85% of patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.
DRX9000 Questions and Answers
Does the DRX9000 really work?
The DRX9000 has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and even relapse or failed back surgery. Since its release in 2001, clinical studies have revealed an amazing 86% success rate in treating lumbar disc related problems with the DRX9000.
How does it work?
The DRX9000 uses state of the art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica.
If I undergo DRX 9000 treatment, how long does it take to see results?
Most patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, significant improvement is obtained by the second week of treatment.
How long does it take to complete DRX 9000 treatment?
Patients remain on the system for 30-45 minutes, daily for the first 2 weeks, three times a week for the following 2 weeks, and followed up by two times a week for the last 2 weeks.
What is the success rate of the DRX 9000 Treatment?
Extensive clinical testing has proven the DRX 9000 to achieve an 86% success rate in treating herniated and degenerated disc with less than a 4% recurrence rate of your problem.
Do I qualify for the DRX9000 treatment?
Since I began using the DRX 9000 spinal disc decompression unit, I have been inundated with questions from both doctors and patients as to which cases it will best help. Obviously proper patient selection is essential to favorable outcomes, so let me explain to you of the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria so you may make the right decision since not everyone qualifies for the DRX treatment.
Inclusion Criteria:
Pain due to herniated and bulging lumbar discs that is more than four weeks old
Recurrent pain from a failed back surgery that is more than six months old.
Persistent pain from degenerated disc not responding to four weeks of therapy.
Patients available for four weeks of treatment protocol.
Patient at least 18 years of age.
Exclusion Criteria:
Appliances such as pedicle screws and rods
Pregnancy
Prior lumbar fusion less than six months old
Metastatic cancer
Severe osteoporosis
Spondylolisthesis (unstable)
Compression fracture of lumbar spine below L-1 (recent).
Pars defect
Pathologic aortic aneurysm.
Pelvic or abdominal cancer
Disc space infections
Severe peripheral neuropathy
Hemiplegia, paraplegia, or cognitive dysfunction.
Are there any side effects to the treatment?
Most patients do not experience any side effects. Though, there have been some mild cases of muscle spasm for a short period of time.
Has the DRX 9000 spinal decompression unit proven to be effective?
YES. In a recent outcome study by T. Gionnis (submitted to the Journal of Musculoskeletal Medicine), 500 potential patients with back pain and pain radiating into the extremities were treated on the DRX 9000. With treatment success defined by a reduction of pain to 0 or 1 on the pain scale, the DRX 9000 treatment was successful for 86% of the 219 patients included in the study.
What is the difference between the DRX9000 and the VAX-D?
The DRX is three generations past the initial VAX-D table developed years ago. Actually, the former North American distributor of VAX-D is the present manufacturer of DRX who had requested upgrades to the VAX-D unit but was refused, which explains why the VAX-D hasn't changed in twenty years. So he and other decompression spinal practitioners brainstormed the problems with VAX-D, and with the help of many engineers, the DRX 9000 unit was developed just two years ago.
The most obvious differences between the DRX9000 and the VAX-D would be their success rate and the comfort levels while a patient is being treated. Below are some side by side comparisons.
DRX9000
86% Success Rate
Patient lays on back (supine)
Harnesses prevent any stress to the shoulders or arms.
The amount of decompression can be targeted to the specific disc level by varying the angle of traction.
VAX-D
72% Success Rate
Patient lies face down (prone) which can be very uncomfortable
Required patients had to hold on with their hands causing severe shoulder/arm problems
Nonspecific for disc levels with its straight-line traction
How does the DRX 9000 separate each vertebra and allow for decompression at a specific level?
Decompression is achieved by using a specific combination of spinal positioning and varying the degree and intensity of force. The key to producing this decompression is the gentle pull that is created by a logarithmic curve. When distractive forces are generated on a logarithmic curve the typical proprioceptor response is avoided. Avoiding this response allows decompression to occur at the targeted area
Is there any risk to the patient during treatment on the DRX 9000?
NO. The DRX 9000 is totally safe and comfortable for all subjects. The system has emergency stop switches for both the patient and the operator. These switches (a requirement of the FDA) terminate the treatment immediately thereby avoiding any injuries.
Are the treatment results permanent?
The DRX 9000 has an impressive 86% success rate in treating herniated and degenerative discs with a 4% reoccurrence rate after one year. Typically additional treatments are not required after the completion of the treatment protocol. However, as with any treatment there are always severe cases that involve particular job/lifestyle activities that may require re-evaluations.
How does the DRX 9000 treatment differ from ordinary spinal traction?
Traction is helpful at treating some of the conditions resulting from herniated or degeneration. Traction cannot address the source of the problem. The DRX 9000 creates a negative pressure or a vacuum inside the disc. This effect causes the disc to pull in the herniation and the increase in negative pressure also causes the flow of blood and nutrients back into the disc allowing the body's natural fibroblastic response to heal the injury and re-hydrate the disc. Traction and inversion tables, at best, can lower the intradiscal pressure from a +90 to a +30 mmHg. The DRX 9000 is clinically proven to reduce the intradiscal pressure to between a -150 to -200 mmHg. Traction triggers the body's normal response to stretching by creating painful muscle spasms that worsen the pain in affected area.
Can the DRX 9000 be used for patients that have had spinal surgery?
In most cases the DRX 9000 treatment is not contra-indicated for patients that have had spinal surgery. In fact many patients have found success with the DRX 9000 after a failed back surgery.
Who is not a candidate for spinal decompression therapy?
Anyone who has recent spinal fractures, surgical fusion or metallic hardware, surgically repaired aneurysms, infection of the spine, and/or moderate to severe osteoporosis.
Who is a candidate for spinal decompression?
Anyone who has been told they need surgery but wishes to avoid it, anyone who has been told there is nothing more available to help, anyone who failed to significantly respond to conservative options (medications, physical therapy, injections, chiropractic, acupuncture), or anyone who still has pain but wishes to obtain the type of care they want.

"My name is Rod. I've had a chronic disc bulge for ten years. A couple times a year, my back would go out and I'd been in excruciating pain, I'd be on the floor for a week, unable to work or function. From the time I got on the DRX9000, I could feel some relief. After only two weeks, I was able to bend easier, do gardening, and other things around the house. I was apprehensive at first but the warmth and feel at the office put me at ease. The treatments are painless. I highly recommend Dr. Wright and the DRX9000."

"My name is Joann. I live in Silver Creek. After two low back surgeries, I was still experiencing severe pain. I couldn't stand or walk for long periods of time. My medical doctor wanted to do a third surgery when my family convinced me to try the DRX9000 with Dr. Wright. After completing my treatment on the DRX9000, I'm able to walk and shop without pain. Having my health back is worth every penny." |

"My name is Pat. I had two surgeries on my low back and two on my mid- back. I had five epidural shots and many pain medications. With all of this, I still had pain from disc bulging, stenosis, and arthritis. At times, my pain level was still 10 out of 10. After my treatment on the DRX9000, my pain level is down to a 2 out of 10. I have backed off on some of the medications and I am able to do things I haven't done in 2-3 years. I am able to walk, socialize, and play with my grandchildren. The treatments were a pleasure to go through, the atmosphere is very relaxed and painless. I now have my quality of life back!!"

"My name is Frank, I am a dairy farmer and I live in Yorkshire. I had two back surgeries and several epidural injections into my spine. I was still suffering from disc problems, arthritis, and spinal stenosis. My doctors told me there was nothing more they could do for me. After completing my treatments on the DRX9000, I no longer needed a cane to walk. Now my pain level is 0 out of 10. I can take morning walks and I am back to working on the farm. I look forward to spring, thanks to Dr. Wright."
