SPINAL DECOMPRESSION
Spinal Decompression is the NEW treatment for your low back and neck pain.
We offer the latest cutting edge technology in the non-surgical treatment of serious lower back pain and sciatica and neck pain. Our commitment to offering the highest quality of care resulted in the addition of the FDA cleared spinal decompression technology for the treatment of back pain due to:
Herniated Discs
Bulging Discs
Pinched Nerve
Sciatica (leg pain)
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
Spinal Stenosis
In the past, a patient suffering from disc problems was usually given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren’t progressing, they were sent for spinal surgery. Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option…until now.
Today, you don’t have to live with that pain anymore. Thanks to the concerted efforts of a team of top physicians and medical engineers, Spinal Decompression Therapy was developed to effectively treat lower back pain and sciatica resulting from herniated or degenerated discs. Spinal Decompression Therapy not only significantly reduces back pain and neck pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.
DOES SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY REALLY WORK?
Data from a recent multi-center pilot study utilizing Axiom Worldwide’s DRX9000 reveals a dramatic success rate of 88.9%!
The clinic results of a IRB-approved prospective, multi-center, phase II, non-randomized pilot study utilizing the DRX9000* was presented at the annual New York State Society of Anesthesiologists PGA meeting in New York City December 7-11, 2007. The study, authored by Dr. John Leslie of the Mayo Clinic, was designed to evaluate the back pain. After two weeks of treatments on the DRX9000, there was a 50% reduction in pain scores and upon completion of the entire six week protocol an amazing success rate of 88.9% was documented.

HOW DOES SPINAL DECOMPRESSION WORK?
Spinal Decompression uses state of the art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, not to be confused with linear traction, slowly lengthens and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressures within the discs. This reversal of pressure creates an intradiscal vacuum that helps to reposition bulging discs and pull extruded disc material back into place, taking pressure off pinched nerves. Spinal experts believe that nutrients, oxygen and fluids are drawn into the disc to create a revitalized environment conducive to healing.
WHAT ARE THE TREATMENTS LIKE?
At the beginning of each session, you’ll be comfortably fitted with a harness designed to achieve optimal decompression of the low back or neck. During a session of spinal decompression you will notice a slow lengthening of your spine as your discs are gradually decompressed and relieved of pressure. The treatment process is safe and relaxing. While some patients with extensively injured discs have reported mild discomfort during the first few treatment sessions, their discomfort subsides upon subsequent visits. A patient safety switch provides an extra safety feature, allowing you to stop at any point should you feel discomfort. Each treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes. Individual patient results may vary.
WHAT IS TYPICAL TREATMENT PROTOCOL?
A typical spinal decompression treatment protocol consists of about 12-20 sessions over four to six weeks. Some conditions require fewer visits; some require more. Many patients report relief from their pain and other symptoms during the first few treatment sessions, and most experience dramatic pain relief after completion of the prescribed treatment program.
WHY IS SPINAL DECOMPRESSION DIFFERENT FROM TRACTION, PHYSICAL THERAPY AND CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION?
While traction, physical therapy, and manipulation may reduce disc pressures to as low as 40 mm Hg, only spinal decompression has been shown to achieve negative pressures within the spine. It has been clinically proven that spinal decompression creates negative pressures as low as -110 mmHg3 within the injured disc during the treatment session. Normally, pulls exerted on the spine trigger sensory receptors in the back to tighten the muscles surrounding the vertebrae and discs in an effort to allow discs to be repositioned without tension and without causing spasm and muscle guarding.
It is important for patients to make sure that they are treated on a high quality true spinal decompression table by a physician with years of experience and not an imitation spinal decompression table.
IS IT TRUE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN UP TO 88.9% SUCCESS RATE FOR SPINAL DECOMPRESSION?
Yes! More than 10 research articles have shown success rates for spinal decompression to be up to 88.9%. In fact, John Leslie M.D. and the Mayo Clinic reported at the 18th Annual Meeting American Academy of Pain Management in Tampa, Florida on September 5, 2007 the following amazing statistics:
Multi-center, phase II non-randomized pilot study utilizing spinal decompression
Designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of spinal decompression in the treatment of chronic lower back pain
Patients enrolled have an average of ten years of chronic back pain
After two weeks of treatments of spinal decompression – 50% reduction in pain scores
Upon completion of the entire six week protocol success rate of 88.9% was documented.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
I was having horrible sciatic nerve pain after a running injury and after just one adjustment, I felt relief. Frequent adjustments and rehab had me feeling back to 100% within a few weeks. Dr. Murray and his staff are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
C. Jones
The team here is awesome! I really want to thank Dr. Murry for helping me feel better with my neck pain. And the therapist Ashley and Shawn, who made my rehab fun and enjoyable each time. And Shannon with her great smile every morning she greeted me! They are flexible and worked with my work schedule! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
