With millions of low back pain sufferers worldwide seeking out alternative ways to find chronic low back pain relief, non-surgical lumbar decompression therapy arises. Non-surgical back decompression therapy has successfully treated many low back pain sufferers who received substandard results with conventional therapy methods such as bed rest, physical therapy, pain medications, acupuncture, surgery and traction. As new clinical research presenting the positive outcomes of this form of treatment continues to surface, it may not take long before it is perceived by many to be an effective therapy option for chronic low back pain conditions.
In a clinical research study published in Pain Practice, patient outcomes indicated that chronic low back pain improved with treatment on the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System™.
The study titled, “Treatment of 94 Outpatients With Chronic Discogenic Low Back Pain with the DRX9000: A Retrospective Chart Review,” indicated that patients with a mean pain duration of 535 weeks (Over 10 years) reported a mean verbal numerical pain intensity rating equal to 6.05 on a 0 to 10 scale prior to treatment with the DRX9000™.
Patients underwent therapy at four clinics throughout the United States. They received 30-minute DRX9000 sessions daily for the first 2 weeks reducing to 1 session/week.
After the end of the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System treatment, the mean verbal numerical pain intensity rating decreased to a statistically and clinically significant rating of 0.89.
Moreover, patients also described a decrease in analgesic use and improvement in activities of daily living.
The authors were able to follow-up at a mean 31 weeks with 29 patients and reveal mean values of 83% improvement in back pain and satisfaction of 8.55 on a 10-point scale. None of these 29 patients reported requiring surgery. The authors also acknowledge that there are other spinal decompression systems available commercially. However, they suggest that the design difference between these devices, “may lead to differing physical responses to therapy, so studies of one type of apparatus should not readily be applied across all machines.”
As more studies demonstrating positive results utilizing this form of therapy are published, the question may not be whether it’s effective but rather who offers it.
