Degenerative Disc Disease - Treatment With The DRX9000

Dr. Robert Boydston, a Chiropractor in Fresno...utilizing the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Machine...explains:

Degenerative disc Your spinal discs, a fibrous piece of cartilage that sits between each vertebrae, act as shock absorbers in your spine. They cushion and absorb shock from your everyday movements. With each spinal movement you move fluid in and out of your discs, through a pumping mechanism call imbibition. This pumping action keeps the discs flexible and hydrated. 

When a spinal joint loses it's normal movement, through injury and loss of proper brain control mechanisms, it will lose this pumping action, and the disc will begin to dehydrate,  and build up acid waste products. The disc then become cracked and brittle. This can cause the discs to bulge or herniate. It also leads to approximation of the posterior spinal joints...creating pain and stiffness. This process is termed Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD).

I consult with chronic back pain patients every day at my Fresno Spinal Decompression Center. Most DDD patients have never been given any real treatment options. It was always assumed that once a disc began to degenerate there was little that could be done to stop or reverse the process. That was before the introduction of the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System a few years ago.

The DRX9000 creates a decompressive force, resulting in a negative vacum-like force within the disc. This infuses the disc with fluid, and pulls bulging disc material toward the center of the disc. With the appropriate number of treatment sessions the disc can gain height, become more flexible, and more fluid filled.

As Fresno's leader in spinal decompression therapy we help degenerative disc disease sufferers relieve the pain and discomfort that often accompanies this condition. Finally there is an option that doesn't involve the line, "your just going to have to live with it." You DON'T have to live with it, at least not anymore.

Do you suffer with degenerative disc pain, and would like to find out if the DRX9000 can help you? Call the The Boydston Institute in Clovis, just 2 blocks East of Fresno...ats 559-297-9218. Ask for a Spinal Decompresssion Consultation with Dr. Robert Boydston. If you have question Contact Us.
