Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000
Can you help me?
This is a question that I have been asked many times over the years and the answer is, it depends. It depends on what’s causing the low back pain, there are lots of causes to low back pain and that’s why one treatment works for someone and not for another person. As my dad would say “you need the right tool for the job.”
Usually, when I see someone who has been suffering from chronic low back pain they’ve already tried taking a number of different medications muscle relaxants and painkillers, tried physical therapy or acupuncture or had Cortisone injections or even tried spinal surgery.
The reason why chronic low back pain can be so resistant to other therapies is because of the physical changes caused by the long-lasting biomechanical dysfunctions of the spine such as myofascial adhesions, degenerated disc disease, herniated and bulging discs and posterior facet hypertrophy.
The above changes for chronic low back pain are specific kinds of conditions that spinal decompression was designed to help. Spinal decompression with the DRX9000 simply put is just the most advanced form of spinal traction used today.
Non-surgical & Non-Invasive
Hart Chiropractic Center uses the same state of the art technology as the Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins Medical University. The FDA approved the DRX 9000C in 2001. A recent study from the Journal of Medicine showed a dramatic 88% SUCCESS RATE for the treatment of chronic back pain using spinal decompression.

“Not too long ago I was walking up and down the aisles of Trader Joe’s searching for the items on my wife’s grocery list, two of my little ones with me, when I was stopped by a former spinal decompression patient. It had been almost a year since I had seen him back at the office. I remember his case was a tough one. He had a pretty bad bulging disc in his lower lumbar spine. He traveled for work which makes consistent treatment difficult and his insurance only allowed so many treatments. Going into treatment I felt as if he had already given up any hope of recovery and was mentally preparing for spinal surgery. This was a lot of pressure on me, the doc, to get this fixed and fixed quick! “Dr. Hart!” I hear this all the time out and about. Living in a small community I run into patients all the time. I turned to see him holding a bag of groceries with his hand out ready to shake mine. “you saved me from surgery!” Spinal decompression proved to be a great fit for this patient.” –Dr. Hart
