It's the first question that all patient's ask: "Is Spinal Decompression Painful"? It's an obvious question due to the majority of patients that need decompression are already in a great deal of pain. But before we discuss comfort, spinal decompression therapy should be briefly explained.
Spinal decompression is FDA approved and is a non-chiropractic and non-surgical therapy that relieves different types of back pain or problems associated with disc injuries such as pinched nerves, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, including sciatica. An acute injury, poor posture, etc can cause your vertebrae to compress your discs or to slip out of alignment which furthermore applies uncomfortable pressure to your discs. This is also perpetuated by the fact that the compressed disc restricts the movement and flow of nutrients which is needed for healing.
Traditional treatments include invasive methods such as surgery and chiropractic adjustments. However, utilizing the DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression machine can provide gentle decompression of the problem disc. The therapy works in small increments. As the Medical Professional Physician straps the patient in, the table slowly moves and applies a distraction force to the targeted compressed disc. A computer controls this force between periods of relaxation. This movement gently elongates and pulls the spine apart creating a small vacuum between vertebrae which then pulls the disc back into shape. After a few visits, the disc reshapes itself and allows the proper flow of nutrients which fights off future injuries.
The DRX 9000 is designed and built for comfort. During the thirty minute treatments, most patients relax, listen to music and sometimes simply fall asleep. But since the treatment is physical, there might be a bit of soreness afterwards. Add more info below if it applies.

See a Chiropractor. Or even your regular dcootr might be able to snap your back into place. Mine did. Chiropractors do this thing where they lie you on your side and they twist you. I am sure that will fix your problem. You cannot do it yourself either because the positioning makes it hard for you to use full force. Also, you need someone else’s body weight to do it. I would see the dcootr and get in the habit of lifting with your legs. It’s tough but possible. In the meantime, keep ice on that spot to reduce inflamation. 15 minutes of ice with an hour in between to let the back breathe.

The spinal disc is a soft cushion that sits between each vertabrae of the spine. This spinal disc becomes more rigid with age. In a young individual, the disc is soft and elastic, but like so many other structures in the body, the disc gradually looses its elasticity and is more vulnerable to injury. In fact, even in individuals as young as 30, MRIs show evidence of disc deterioration in about 30% of people. Bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, sciatica, and arm pain or leg pain can often be attributed to your spine asserting pressure on your discs. Poor posture, bad body mechanics, repetitive stress and acute injury can cause your vertebrae to compress your discs or to slip out of alignment.

I had some other minor back complaints berofe and then all of a sudden it just came on.I was off for 3 weeks and it did improve a bit etc.My pain is on the right side and it’s not the spine but to the right of it. If I walk it feels weak and pain is at the top of the leg above the buttocks. It will just get pain shooting down the leg and will give way so I fall over.Mostly it’s pain and sorness, not a whole lot of tingling.I may go see a chiropractor tbh. It’s bad today so i’m led down.

During each session, you experience multiple cycles of treatment. Each cycle takes between 2 to 3 minutes. The equipment is designed to apply precisely-controlled tension along the axis of your spinal column, creating decompression of the intervertebral discs. The process is fully automated and administered by a computer, which in turn is monitored by a technician.

Or whether the symptoms are stemming from decaying discs (i.e. thinning or wearing out of the spinal discs) due to spinal arthritis and/or degenerative disc disease (see video). Decaying or thinning discs will cause the vertebrae to close up, which in turn causes the spinal joints to rub together (i.e. Facet Syndrome and localized back pain) and vertebral compression onto the spinal nerves (i.e sciatica or numbness and tingling down your arms).

Spinal Decompression Treatment is non-invasive and provides gentle decompression of the disc through the use of a decompression table. You are strapped to the table so that as it moves it applies a distraction force to the targeted area of the spine (the compressed disc). A computer controls the distraction force which is applied in between periods of relaxation. This gently pulls the spine apart elongating it and creating a small vacuum between the vertebrae which pulls the disc back into shape.

Well you have to go see a doctor. A Chiropractor would be the obvious choice when it comes to treating the causes of back pain. The Chiropractic profession specializes in treating muscular and skeletal issues surrounding the spine, and reduces interference with the nervous system, like when a nerve is impinged, allowing the body to function normally. Some patients may require spinal decompression to treat their condition if they are not responding well to other treatments like physical therapy .

Today there is an entire industry of ‘spinal decompression’ devices, all based upon developments pioneered by Allan E Dyer, PhD, M.D., a former Deputy Minister of Health in Ontario, Canada. Dr Dyer also pioneered and published the research leading to the development of the transthoracic heart defibrillator while completing his Ph.D. at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada. Dr Dyer himself suffered a herniated disc. After conventional therapy failed, Dr Dyer formulated the theories that lead to the design and development of VAX-D® (Vertebral Axial Decompression) and patented the process known as vertebral decompression. Prior to his research on negative disc pressures with VAX-D, non-surgical decompression did not exist. The spinal decompression industry today is so full of misinformation, unsubstantiated claims and marketing hype so as to make it extremely difficult for the physician let alone the average person to determine which table offers true decompression. All of them use the research done on VAX-D equipment to validate their claims. But the fact is that in spite of the rapid growth of the decompression industry VAX-D is the only device shown to decompress the disc non-surgically (Ramos G., Martin W. Journal of Neurosurgery) and a search of the medical literature reveals there are no studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals on other devices. VAX-D is the only medical device that delivers treatment with the patented logarithmic decompression curve!

The DRX 9000 is the only system that has earned FDA 510K clearance to be called true spinal decompression. The DRX 9000 is the only system with a documented significant success rate. The DRX 9000 offers precise treatment using a closed-loop feedback system. The unit targets the specific disc level based on videofluoroscopy studies.

The theory behind non-surgical spinal decompression is that significant distractive forces, when applied to the lumbar spine in variable directions, can create a negative pressure in the center of the intervertebral disc , thereby creating a suctioning effect or vacuum phenomenon in order to retract or reduce the size of the herniated or bulging disc’s gelatinous internal nucleus pulposus , thus diminishing or eliminating nerve compression, while at the same time creating an osmotic gradient which helps bring nutrients and water into the disc. Since intervertebral discs have poor circulation, they depend upon receiving their nutrition through diffusion across the end plates of the vertebrae above and below.
