After Dr. Akhavan has diagnosed your condition and determined that spinal decompression is part of the best overall treatment, you will have the benefit of using the DRX9000.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal Decompression Thearpy involves the application of distractive forces to relieve nerve compression often associated with lower back pain and sciatica. Lie down on a comfortable heavily-padded DRX9000 machine with secure upper and lower body harnesses for stability. For approximately 30 minutes, you can relax by listening to music, watching a DVD, or taking a quick nap. Meanwhile, the DRX9000 delivers therapeutic spinal decompressive forces to your spine, alternating between maximum and minimum levels. The variable forces stimulate natural processes, which pump nutrient-rich fluids from the outside of the discs to the inside. This helps heal the damaged and degenerated disc. You shouldn’t experience any pain, and as you go through the treatment sessions your back will begin to feel totally rejuvenated.
Immediately following treatment, Dr. Akhavan also provides a 15 minute muscle stimulation followed by low level laser therapy and ice . Patients also gain personalized home-care coaching, with noticeable relief typically attained within just three weeks.
