After Treatment on DRX9000 Shows Decrease in Disc Lesion

By Dr. Randall Pruitt

The DRX9000 was created to provide relief of LBP (low back pain) caused by herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and facet syndrome. A new case report underwritten with a grant from Axiom Worldwide is now featured in Volume 3, Issue 1 of the US Musculoskeletal Review 2008. The case study titled, Management of Discogenic Low-back Pain with a Non-surgical Decompression System (DRX9000)- Case Report, reveals the pre- and post-MRI findings of a 31-year old male with a history of low back pain.

Prior to treatment with the DRX9000, an MRI of the lumbar spine revealed a left paracentral disc extrusion at L5/S1 that was compressing and displacing the left S1 nerve root. In addition, degenerative disc disease was noted at L4/5 and L5/S1. The patient also reported an overall pain level of 9 on a 0-10 scale. The patient underwent 27 treatments on the DRX9000 over a seven-week period and at his final treatment he reported a pain level of 3 that occurred only 30% of the time.

In addition, degenerative disc disease was noted at L4/5 and L5/S1. Patient went through 27 sessions of decompression therapy using DRX9000.

This case study was underwritten by a grant from Axiom Worldwide. Axiom Worldwides referencing the presentation of the study should not be construed to mean that Axiom Worldwide represents that the study establishes any conclusive success rate or the efficacy of the device.

The information is offered simply to demonstrate the exciting activity ongoing with the DRX9000. As always, individual patients experiences with the DRX9000 may vary and patients should always consult with their physician to determine whether treatment on the DRX9000 makes sense for them.

This research was underwritten by Axiom Worldwide to show how DRX9000 works for patients with disc problems.

Axiom prides itself on providing safe, non-surgical alternatives that patients should consider prior to undergoing surgery.
