Dr. Robert Boydston, a Chiropractor in Fresno...utilizing the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Machine...elaborates:
The Sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. Sciatica is severe pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the buttock, leg and sometimes, the foot. The confusing thing about sciatica is that just about anything that irritates the low back can cause sciatica pain. The spinal joints, nerve roots, discs, and muscles can all cause pain that looks and feels like sciatica.
A common cause of sciatica is from disc bulges or disc herniation's. If you have a disc herniation then muscle relaxers, physical therapy, exercise, or injections are usually of very little benefit. As a lumbar disc herniates or bulges it moves posterior into the spinal canal, causing compression of the lumbar nerve roots and blood vessels that supply the sciatic nerve.
Imaging...an MRI or CT Scan...can reveal the specific source of the nerve irritation. If you suffer from sciatica caused by a disc bulge or herniation you most likely have already been through physical therapy, and injections with little change in symptoms. You may have been told that surgery is your only option.
At my Fresno Spinal Decompression Center we specialize in treating sciatica caused by disc bulges or disc herniation's. If you are staring surgery in the face then Non-surgical Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000 is your best option.
The DRX9000 is designed to create very precise forces on the lumbar spinal discs. The application of the decompressive force gently opens the disc space, creating a vacuum within the disc, drawing the bulging disc material away from the spinal nerve roots and spinal cord.
Treatments on the DRX9000 Lumbar Decompression machine are comfortable and relaxing. During the decompression treatment you can listen to music or watch a movie. Many patients utilize their 30-minute decompression session as a time to close their eyes and relax, some even take a short nap.
If you have sciatica that has not responded to other therapies, then you may be suffering from a disc bulge or disc herniation. The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System is a non-surgical lumbar disc repair system. It was designed specifically to fix this problem.
