Did You Know?

The sciatic nerve travels down the leg to the bottom of the foot.

Sciatica symptoms can include numbness, tingling, sharp pain or burning pain down the back of the legs.

Direct compression onto the sciatic nerve by a Bulging Disc or Disc Herniation is one of the more serious causes of sciatica.

DRX9000 Spinal Decompression is effective at relieving sciatica by reducing compression on the sciatic nerve caused by a Disc Bulge or a Disc Herniation.

The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that travels down the eg to the bottom of the foot. It originates at the level of the low back and has many branches. Irritation of the sciatic nerve along its path is commonly referred to as “sciatica”. The symptoms of sciatica include sharp pain, numbness, tingling or burning pain in the back of the legs. In severe circumstances, weakness in the legs can be seen.

Sciatic nerve irritation can take many forms. One of the most serious causes of sciatica is direct nerve compression or impingement from a Disc Bulge or Herniated Disc. Treatment to eliminate sciatica should include methods that painlessly remove this compression without drugs or surgery – treatments such as DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression.

The Discs of the Spine:: An Overview

The bones of the spine (vertebrae) are separated by tough cartilage pads called intervertebral discs (inter meaning “between”; vertebral meaning “bones of the spine”). Healthy spinal discs are thick and flexible (similar to a wet sponge) allowing a wide range of spinal motions. An unhealthy disc is stiff and inflexible (similar to a dry sponge) and easily prone to injuries such as Bulging Discs or Disc Herniations. Over time gravity, spinal dysfunction and accumulated trauma cause the discs to flatten, compress and degenerate. This constant compression prevents oxygen and nutrients from entering the disc. This ongoing starvation leads the once-tough outer layers of the disc to soften which allows the disc to become injured or diseased. Disc damage can occur anywhere in the spine. However, the discs of the neck and low back are the most commonly involved.

Disc injury and degeneration can take many forms. Significant disc damage can cause a Disc Bulge, progress into a tear called a Disc Herniation or the inner jelly-like material of the disc can leak out in the case of a Ruptured Disc. The “jelly center” of the disc can also dry out over time. This is referred to as Degenerative Disc Disease. All forms of disc disease and injury can eventually impinge on the nerves exiting the spine leading to a Pinched Nerve which can create numbness, tingling, burning pain or sharp pain down the arms or legs. Sharp pain originating from the back and “shooting” down the back of the legs is often referred to as Sciatica.

The most effective treatment available to reverse sciatica caused by a Bulged Disc or Disc Herniation is Non-Surgical Spinal Disc Decompression using the DRX9000.

Sciatica Treatment:: Non-Surgical Disc Decompression with the DRX9000

Non-Surgical Disc Decompression provides relief to sciatica pain sufferers by gently reducing the pressure inside spinal discs. The vertebrae of the spine (bones) are slowly and methodically separated using DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Unit. As the bones are separated pressure is slowly reduced inside the disc until a vacuum is formed. This vacuum “sucks” the jelly center of the disc back inside thereby reducing the Bulging Disc or Herniated Disc. Significant reduction in the disc bulge or herniation removes pressure off the sciatic nerve roots and drastically reduces pain and disability. This “sucking” vacuum also pulls vital oxygen and nutrients into injured and degenerated discs allowing the healing to begin.

The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression treatment motion is computer controlled to provide gentle and pain-free decompression of the injured discs. Advanced DRX-9000 decompression technology separate slowly and cycles between brief moments of pulling and relaxing called oscillation. This reduces protective muscle spasms that contributed to the poor success rate of other “traction” techniques. The latest advanced built into the DRX9000 also incorporate angulated elongation methods to target specific discs of the spine (for example: L5/S1 at the bottom of the spine). This allows the treatment to use less force focused on an individual disc rather than a higher force spread across the entire spine to rehabilitate spinal discs.
