THE ONLY PROVEN NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR SERIOUS BACK PAIN - THE DRX-9000:
The
DRX-9000 is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment for back pain, herniated (bulging) discs, spinal compression + other degenerative disc diseases. Derived directly from "space-age" technology, the
DRX-9000 closely duplicates the positive effects of zero-gravity that astronauts have discovered during decadesof space flight.
GRAVITY IS THE ENEMY! While our muscles and spine struggle to keep us upright, gravity is constantly pulling us "down." As gravity pulls downward, it compresses our bones, spine, joints + the jelly-like "disc" padding in between them. This is why we are "shorter" at night then when we wake up in the morning and can lead to numerous conditions, two of them being SPINAL COMPRESSION and HERNIATED (or BULGING) DISCS. When these discs bulge or compress, they put pressure on the nerves that come in + out of our spine.
HOW DOES IT WORK? One of the benefits discovered during space flight is that zero-gravity reduces pressure on our spinal discs, allowing them to "decompress." Combined with a slight "pulling" motion, it has been found that these discs CAN rejuvenate and in some cases become fully restored to their original thickness, releiving the "crushing" pressure on the nerves in our back.
The DRX-9000 does just that - it is a
non-surgical piece of equipment that
duplicates the positive effects of zero-gravity in addition to providing that gentle "pulling" motion.
Treatment with the DRX-9000 is PAINLESS and is FDA approved for treatment of several conditions, including:
- Back pain
- Sciatica
- Herniated discs and/or bulging discs (single or multiple)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Relapse or failure following surgery
- Facet syndromes
