There’s a lot of talk about spinal decompression as the latest and greatest sciatica treatment at the moment, especially in relation to the system that uses the DRX9000 machine.
It has been shown that the DRX9000 system can give great results, however its NOT A MAGIC BULLET.
It needs to be used in conjunction with a home care regimen and exercise program and has very specific treatment procedures that must be followed in order to give the DRX the best chance of working.
Unfortunately, some patients are hoping for the elusive magic bullet - the magic pill as it were
Chiropractors report conversations such as: “I spoke to a patient recently with multiple level disc herniations in her low back. She wanted to know if we could get her in for a (i.e. just one) session so she could fix her back problem before she went on vacation. When I told her the treatment required 20 one hour sessions over 6 weeks, she about fainted.”
The DRX9000 treatment regimen for the lumbar spine includes:
- wearing a specially designed lumbar support during the day to make sure things you do when you leave the clinic do not reverse the work the DRX spinal decompression system does.
- refraining from exercise.
- doing specific spinal exercises once you reach the half way point.
- drinking 80-100oz of water per day which helps to hydrate the spinal discs and flush out waste products.
Summary:
There’s a lot involved with DRX9000 decompression therapy - make sure you are ready for it and you increase the odds of a favorable outcome.

Osteopaths vs Chiropractors - Which One To Choose?
Osteopaths and Chiropractors are trained for the same period - they both follow a 5 year training course. In my opinion the choice is somewhat like saying Ford is better than Chevy or Man Utd are a better soccer team than Liverpool - it's a very subjective choice. (Soccer afficionados of course know that it is absolutely the truth that Man Utd are better than Liverpool!) If you want to know which out of Osteopaths and Chiropractors is best right now, without reading any further the answer is: Find someone you know and trust who uses an Osteopath or Chiropractor and if they can wholeheartedly recommend their practitioner to you,

How Chiropractors Treat Back Pain & Sciatica
Chiropractors regard your spine as the major influence on your overall health, because all the organs in your body depend upon the spinal cord (nerve) for the transmission of vital messages relayed backwards and forwards between your organs and your brain. If your spine is injured or misaligned, this interferes with the transmission of these messages. Chiropractors diagnose spine and joint problems with the help of X-rays. They are also able to detect various conditions of your spine, including the surrounding muscles with their hands. Chiropractic treatment is based upon ensuring your spine is in correct alignment so that it can function
The Basics Of Your Back & How To Look After It
One of the things we recommend is for you to expand your understanding of your back and how it all works (we suggest you register the free Back Health Course for this reason). Why? Because you'll get to see what an amazing mechanism it is and (I hope) appreciate how and why you should look after it. What's In Your Spine? Your spine is a column of 26 bones that extend in a line from the base of your skull to your pelvis. Twenty-four of these bones are called vertebrae.
