DRX9000 Spinal Decompression

For those who have been dealing with back pain, one of the alternative forms of treatment is inversion table therapy. Many people have found inversion therapy to be beneficial for temporary lower back pain relief.

The way that an inversion table works is relatively easy to understand. It is a flat table that you lie on which is resting on a pivot. You slip your feet into restraints or hook them underneath a bar that is at the bottom of the table. You either turn the table upside down yourself so that your head is toward the floor or allow somebody else to twist it on its pivot so that your head is in the down position.

At this point, most of the pressure is taken off of the table and almost your entire body weight is hanging from your feet. You are able to control the amount of this pressure by reducing the angle of the table so that it is not as steep.

Another form of therapy that also attempts to provide back pain relief by relieving spinal pressure is spinal decompression therapy using the DRX9000. This system takes a slightly different approach to relieving stress on the spine and discs.

Rather than using inverted gravity like the inversion table, the DRX9000 incorporates a series of small, oscillating pull-release motions that is controlled by the DRX9000 computer system.

According to the manufacturer Axiom Worldwide, this technique is more effective than a steady pulling motion since the oscillations prevent the body from going into spasm which is the body’s normal, natural reaction to when it is being pulled.

During the series of oscillations, a kind of vacuum is created in the spinal structures which allows fluid to be sucked back into herniated or bulging discs. That allows for further healing as well as possibly relieving stress on the spinal nerves.

Whether you use inversion table therapy or therapy using the DRX9000 spinal decompression machine, be sure to consult with your medical professional first so that you understand all your options as well as the risks.
