DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy for Back Pain

Dr. Robert Boydston, a Chiropractor in Fresno...utilizing the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System, Elaborates:

Most chronic back pain sufferer's I meet have tried everything under the sun to cure their back pain. They have tried exercise, have been to the physical therapist for 10 rounds of physical therapy, they get massages, they see a chiropractor...you name it, they've done it...and still suffer with pain.

Most back pain originates from the facet joints in the lumbar spine and from the lumbar discs. In facet syndrome, the joints in the back become locked...and wear out unevenly. This causes pain with each movement you make...because they'reinflamed and don't move properly.

The discs are the fibrous cartilage that sits in between each bone in the spine. They act as shock absorbers and help cushion every movement you make. As discs get compressed from muscle spasms, abnormal spinal movement, or from strenuous physical activity...the discs begin to wear out and begin to cause pain.

The problem with most of the traditional therapies you may have tried, is that they don't address the root cause...the discs and facet joints. Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000 is the perfect tool to deal with problems like this because decompression is a slow separation of the lumbar vertebrae. This causes the disc to infuse with water and nutrients...allowing it to heal, and also take pressure off the facet joints.

So if you suffer with chronic back pain there is a good chance that Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000 Decompression Machine is a perfect fit for you. It

Taking Vicoden To Manage Back Pain? New Non-Surgical Alternatives Available

Dr. Robert Boydston, a Chiropractor in Fresno, Explains:

Are you constantly having to refill your prescription for vicoden, or other pain killers, because of your chronic back pain? This is a common practice for many back pain sufferer's who feel they have no choice. Back pain can be debilitating...making everyday activities next to impossible.

Long term use of narcotic pain killers like vicoden can lead to addiction and abuse. Over time the body builds a tolerance to all pain killers. More and more pills are required to create the same pain relieving effect. It creates a downward spiral that doesn't get to the root of the problem. The back condition remains unchanged.

Long term use of pain killers may result in further damage to spinal discs, joints, and muscles. Pain is your bodies mechanism to alert you of damage, or warn you to discontinue a particular activity. Masking the pain and continuing with normal physical activity can cause a back condition to worsen.

I treat chronic back pain patients everyday in my Fresno Spinal Decompression Center. We are the leader in non-surgical back care in the Fresno and Clovis area. I use the DRX9000 Lumbar Spinal Decompression Disc Repair System and the ATM2 Back Pain machine. 

I understand the need to get through the day with minimal pain. I see first hand the havock back pain can cause in a person's life. That is why I use the most advanced non-surgical devices to treat chronic back pain, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and herniated discs.

Most chronic back pain patients have been through traditional physical therapy and spinal injections, yet still continue to have daily back pain. I don't like to see patients have to suffer on a daily regimen of pills. With the advances made with DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, suffering is no longer a requirement.

DRX9000 and the ATM2 Back Pain Machine - Helping Fresno Residents End Back Pain

Dr. Robert Boydston, a Chiropractor in Fresno...utilizing the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Machine and the ATM2 Back Pain Machine...explains:

Back pain is a common and very complicated problem. As many as 50% of people in the United States report some type of back pain every year. There is an expected 31 million people experiencing lower back pain at any given time.

At my Fresno Spinal Decompression Center we understand the many complexities of back pain. This is why we are so thorough in our evaluation, and why we use the best non-surgical treatment methods available. We use the DRX9000 spinal decompression system, that gently distracts the lumbar spinal discs with a very precise force. The result is the reduction of disc bulges and disc herniations, rehydration the lumbar discs, and pressure relief on the posterior lumbar joints. With spinal decompression we can non-surgically repair lumbar discs. This was not possible prior to the introduction of the DRX9000 a few years ago.

Even with proper disc repair some patients continue to have chronic pain with certain movements. Your movement patterns are under central neurological control from brain. Most chronic back pain patients develop faulty movement patterns, almost out of necessity, because your bodies natural inclination is to try to minimize the pain.

With our ATM2 Back Pain Machine, we can literally reprogram these faulty movement patterns. The ATM2 works by passively repositioning the spine and pelvis in such a way that a pain-free, or less painful, range of motion can be created. Then exercises are done with the spine in this more favorable configuration. This new movement pattern is programmed into the central nervous system by repitition and pain-free spinal motion is obtained.

The ATM2 is extremely important because the bad postures and movement patterns, created by the bodies attempt to minimize pain, leads to damage of the spinal joints and discs, and further pain.

With our highly effective combination of the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System and the ATM2 Back Pain Machine, we provide Fresno Back Pain Sufferer's the non-surgical solution they are searching for. We are one of the only offices in the area to offer the DRX9000 and the only office in the area to provide both the ATM2 and the DRX9000. Back Pain doesn't stand a chance.

Chronic Back Pain? - The Pain May Not Be All In Your Back

Dr. Robert Boydston, a Chiropractor in Fresno...explains:

The reason most back pain treatments fail is because most back problems are not just a problem with the back. It is a problem with the neurological control of the mucles and the joints that make your back move. This is a complex subject and to fully explain it would take more space than most care to read about. I will try to explain this in really simple terms.

Your cerebellum, in the very back of your brain, controls all of the tiny muscles attached to your spine. It is these tiny postural muscles that move the individual joints in your spine. When your cerebellum is not working properly (I'll save causes of cerebellum dysfunction for a later post), then you lose proper control and coordination of spinal movements. It is this lack of neurological control, that in my opinion, sets the stage for disc degeneration, disc bulges, disc hernations, and chronic pain. 

The reason we have become the leader in non-surgical back pain, sciatica, and herniated disc treatment in Fresno is because we don't work off a simplistic model. When we see a patient we are going to investigate the neurologic control of back pain, we are going to look at the structural abnormalities, and we are going to address core-stability. 

At our disposal is the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System that opens the posterior spinal joints, draws water and nutrients into the spinal disc, and draws herniated and bulging disc material into the center of the disc. This is the best non-surgical back treatment available today. We are one of the only offices in Fresno and Clovis to utilize this equipment. 

We use Boydston Brain Based Rehabilitation to address cerebellum control mechanisms. It consists of very specific exercises and treatments to stimulate and strengthen the weak parts of the brain. This is a necessary step in many complex back pain cases.

Lastly a core part of our treatment program is dealing with core strength. We use the ATM2 Back Pain Machine to reprogram faulty movement patterns. Many times a couple treatments on this machine can reduce pain 50-90% without any other intervention. 

So yes...you feel pain in your back. Most likely you have tried many other treatment modalities...chiropractic, massage, injections etc.  You have not had someone work on the structural, neurological, and nutritional aspects all at once. A complex problem deserves a comprehensive treatment approach.
