How the DRX9000™ Works

The DRX9000™ is a state-of-the-art system designed to provide relief by gently “decompressing” the spine. Unlike traditional traction, this advanced technology uses computer-controlled movements to achieve three primary goals:

  • Create Negative Pressure: By gently stretching the spine, it creates a vacuum effect (negative intradiscal pressure) within the affected discs.
  • Promote Structural Healing: This vacuum helps “pull” bulging or herniated disc material back into place, away from sensitive nerves.
  • Restore Disc Health: Decompression allows oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids to flow back into the disc, aiding the body’s natural healing process.
