Spinal Decompression

C-1 through C-7 cervical vertebrae form your neck supporting your head, allowing you to nod and shake your head at things you don’t like T-1 through T-12 are your thoracic vertebrae that are joined by ribs to form your rib cage Lumbar vertebrae carry most of the weight of your upper body and provide a stable center of gravity when you move Your sacrum and coccyx make up the back wall of your pelvis, intervertebral discs are located between each of the movable vertebrae discs consists of a rubber band like outer ring with crisscrossing fibers called the annulus fibroses that surrounds a jelly-like center The nucleus pulposus Discs function like shock absorbing springs The annulus pulls the vertebral bodies together against the elastic resistance of the gelatinous like nucleus When you bend the nucleus acts like a ball bearing allowing the vertebral bodies to roll over the incompressible gel each disc works together with two facet joints forming a spinal motion segment The biomechanical function of each pair of facet joints is to guide and limit the movement of the corresponding spinal motion segments The surfaces of these joints, are coated with cartilage that helps each joint move smoothly Directly behind the discs The rain like vertebral bodies create a vertical tunnel called the spinal canal or neural canal The spinal cord and nerves pass through the spinal canal, which protects them from injury The spinal cord is the major column of nerve tissue that is connected to the brain and serves as an information super highway between the brain and the body the nerves in your spinal cord branch off to form pairs of nerve roots that travel through the small openings between each of your vertebrae called vertebral foramens this is the condition of a normal lumbar intervertebral disc degenerative disease is the loss of disc height that may impact adjacent nerve roots When the jelly like nucleus push against the annulus wall, it is called a bulging disc When that gel like core pushes out through a tear in the fibrous wall, it is referred to as a herniated disc.
These conditions may impact the surrounding nerves causing sharp, severe and or debilitating back pain. They may also cause neuropathy, sciatica, or other symptoms. The DRX is a highly effective non-surgical and drug-free treatment for these conditions. The DRX9000 machine is the world’s first disc therapy that can target a specific disc level, adjusts itself 13 times per second and pulls utilizing a logarithmic curve. These three factors ensure that each patient experiences an ultra-smooth treatment delivered with consistent precision.
