Spinal decompression is used at our Calgary clinic to treat musculoskeletal injuries and relieve back and neck pain. Spinal decompression is often used to treat chronic spinal pain and neck pain. Still, it is also used to relieve pain caused by spinal nerve pressure and conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, disc bulge etc. The benefits of spinal decompression are that it is a non-invasive treatment option which doesn’t require surgery. In addition, research shows that 87-90% of patients experience long-term relief after treatment. The procedure is performed by a healthcare provider using an advanced spinal decompression machine such as the DRX 9000.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression at Alberta Back and Neck Rehab

At our clinic, our trained doctors use a non-surgical spinal decompression machine called the DRX 9000. The DRX 9000 is a machine used to safely decompress the spine while relieving pressure on the spinal nerves without requiring invasive spinal surgeries. The DRX 9000 is a safe and effective way to relieve chronic lower back pain due to spinal injuries and disease.

How DRX 9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy works

During treatment, the computerized decompression table steadily stretches the damaged disc creating negative pressure. As the pressure within the spinal disc decreases, blood supply increases, allowing fluids and nutrients to be pulled into the intervertebral disc. When new fluids and nutrients are introduced, it will enable the disc to repair itself, alleviating the root cause of your pain. Furthermore, scar tissue diminishes as the injury heals, which reduces disc bulge and disc herniation by an average of 50%. Reducing the herniation and bulge also helps to relieve common sciatica symptoms such as pain and numbness in the legs and buttocks.

Which Conditions Can Decompression Treat?

The DRX 9000 has a high success rate for treating lower back pain and neck pain caused by a bulging or herniated disc material. In addition, spinal decompression can also help treat pain and numbness in the arms and legs, which can often be related to spinal disc injuries and diseases such as Degenerative Disc Diseases (DDD), Spinal Stenosis etc.

Additional Benefits of DRX 9000 Decompression Therapy

In addition to treating chronic back and neck pain, decompression also helps to relieve:

• Arm Pain
• Leg Pain
• Sports Injuries

Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy Safe? Does it Hurt?

Decompression therapy is safe and not painful. Many patients who undergo DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression report relief after their first treatment. Even though this is exciting, it is crucial to recognize that it will require multiple treatments for long-term benefits. Furthermore, decompression therapy is designed to treat the root cause of your chronic back and neck pain, not just relieve symptoms. Therefore, your doctor may recommend that you undergo a series of treatments to achieve lasting results to achieve long-term benefits. It takes time for your body to heal after treatment and multiple treatments are the best way to ensure that your body heals properly.

Are You a Candidate For Spinal Decompression?

You may be a candidate for spinal decompression therapy if you suffer from chronic back and neck pain. One of our highly experienced doctors will thoroughly assess you before undergoing treatment.
