Today, you don’t have to live with chronic back pain from herniated or bulging discs anymore. The Vernon Hills Chiropractic Clinic features the state of the art Disc Decompression Therapy using the DRX-9000™

The VHCC's DRX-9000™ uses state-of-the-art technology to gradually relieve neural compression often associated with lower back pain. The process has been proven to relieve pain by enlarging disc space, reducing disc space, strengthening outer ligaments to help move herniated areas back into place, and reversing high intradiscal pressures through application of negative pressure.

Your Spinal Disc Decompression treatment begins with a series of daily sessions for two weeks, followed by treatments three times a week as needed. Each session consists of 30-45 minutes on the DRX-9000™. Following each therapy session, a cold pack with electrical muscle stimulation is applied to help paravertebral muscles consolidate after treatment.

An upper chest harness/shoulder support is used to help distribute the applied forces evenly. Once in place, you are slowly reclined to a horizontal position. Following the physician’s orders, the therapist localizes the pain, makes any adjustments and directs the treatment to the proper area. Spinal Disc Decompression helps to mobilize the troubled disc segment without inducing further damage to the spine.

After only three weeks of treatment, clinical studies have shown outstanding results in relieving the debilitating pain that may be caused by bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs, as well as sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, and many failed back surgery cases.

Pre-and post-treatment MRI's have shown greater than 50% reduction in the size and extent of herniations after four weeks of Spinal Disc Decompression. In fact, during the initial clinical study more than 86% of patients report relief of back pain after Spinal Disc Decompression.
