Helping Your Body Heal Itself—Without Drugs or Incisions
Surgery often means cutting tissue and a long, painful recovery. Our approach is different. We use the DRX9000 to gently create negative pressure within your spine.
Think of it like a vacuum effect that helps:
- Retract Bulging or Herniated Discs: Gently pulling the escaped disc material back into place, taking pressure off your pinched nerves.
- Rehydrate Your Discs: Allowing vital oxygen, water, and nutrients to flow back into the spinal discs, which is essential for them to heal and become healthy again.
This innovative process harnesses your body’s own healing power to provide lasting relief from chronic pain.

Spinal Decompression Assessment
Take this 30-second screening to see if your specific back condition qualifies for DRX9000 treatment.
Common Patient Questions
Learn the science behind non-surgical spinal decompression.
Standard traction pulls blindly, causing muscles to spasm and fight the stretch. The DRX9000 uses advanced computer algorithms to bypass muscle guarding, delivering a logarithmic force that successfully creates a negative vacuum inside the targeted disc.
Yes. We specialize in Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). As long as you do not have certain types of surgical hardware currently stabilizing the targeted level, the DRX9000 can provide significant relief for post-surgical scar tissue.
Coverage varies widely by carrier and plan specifics. Our dedicated billing specialists provide a complimentary verification of benefits during your initial consultation to outline all available options clearly.
A standard clinical protocol typically ranges from 20 to 24 sessions over a 4 to 6-week period, though this varies based on the severity of the disc herniation or degeneration.
The DRX9000 is highly effective for herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, and pinched nerves in both the lumbar and cervical spine.
No. The procedure is entirely non-invasive and painless. In fact, the logarithmic distraction forces are so gentle that many patients fall asleep during their 30-minute sessions.
Each decompression session lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes, allowing patients to easily fit treatment into their workday without operational downtime.
Peer-reviewed medical studies and our own internal clinical tracking show an 86% to 88% success rate in significantly reducing pain and restoring disc height for qualified candidates.
Yes. By creating a negative intradiscal pressure, the DRX9000 retracts the herniated disc material and stimulates the influx of healing nutrients, oxygen, and water, promoting long-term structural healing.
Patients with severe osteoporosis, severe nerve damage, pregnant women, or those with recent surgical hardware (screws/plates) in the targeted spinal region are generally not candidates.
No. Because DRX9000 therapy requires zero surgical downtime and is non-invasive, most patients continue working and performing their normal daily activities throughout their protocol.

I came in with an extremely tight back and compressed spine which made it really difficult to sleep. Dr. Erin took X-rays and we came up with a plan to help me realign and get back to functional. It’s been amazing! The massage therapists, staff and doctors are fantastic. I highly recommend this place to everyone!
