Common Causes of Back Pain

A herniated disc (also referred to as a protruding or extruded disc) occurs when part of the gel-like center of a disc migrates through the annulus fibrosis. This can create mechanical pressure on nearby structures and trigger inflammation, often irritating nerves and producing numbness or tingling in the arms or hands.

Degenerative disc disease is a condition marked by dehydration and deterioration of the spinal discs, reducing their ability to absorb and distribute loads. As discs weaken, they become more prone to injury from physical stress and may contribute to disc bulges, herniations, or stenosis.

Facet syndrome involves the posterior joints of the spine that help maintain alignment. It is often associated with injury or disc degeneration, causing pain, stiffness, and inflammation that worsen with movement and improve with rest.

Sciatica, commonly linked to a herniated disc or bone spur, results from compression of the sciatic nerve. This produces a sharp, radiating pain from the lower back through the buttocks and down one leg, often accompanied by tingling or numbness. Symptoms can worsen with coughing, sneezing, or prolonged sitting.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Many of the same spinal conditions that affect the lower back, such as herniated discs and degenerative disc disease, can also cause neck pain. These issues may result in nerve irritation, stiffness, and tingling sensations in the arms or hands.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Treatment?

Patients that will benefit most from the DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Decompression System may be diagnosed with herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease or facet syndrome.

What May I Experience During the Course of Treatment

Some patients may experience mild muscular soreness during or after treatment. The sensation would be similar to what a person might experience at the onset of a new exercise program. Most patients find this therapy quite comfortable and relaxing. During an average 30 minute treatment most patients experience a gentle stretch in the lumbar spine and tend to fall asleep. Adjunctive therapies to non-surgical spinal decompression may include electrical stimulation and cold therapy. Exercise and/or the use of a lumbar support belt may be prescribed to support the benefits of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy and may improve patient compliance.
