How DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Works
The DRX9000 is a computer-controlled spinal decompression system used for selected patients with disc-related back pain, neck pain, sciatica, herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc changes. This guide explains how the technology works and why a clinical evaluation comes before treatment.

Answer a few questions. If your case appears appropriate, you’ll be guided to the next step.
What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a controlled, computer-guided treatment approach designed to apply gentle decompression forces to the evaluated spinal region.
The DRX9000 system is different from general stretching, inversion tables, or standard traction because patient positioning, treatment angle, and case selection are carefully considered. Whether decompression is appropriate depends on the patient’s symptoms, examination findings, and imaging when appropriate.
Disc and Nerve Conditions Commonly Reviewed
These conditions may be reviewed during a candidate evaluation. A diagnosis alone does not determine whether decompression is appropriate. Symptoms, exam findings, MRI or imaging context, and clinical history all matter.
Not Sure If Decompression Is Right for Your Case?
Start with the evaluation. It helps determine whether your symptoms may fit decompression care.
