DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression System at Clifton Spine & Physical Therapy
If chronic low-back pain, sciatica, or a stubborn lumbar disc herniation keeps you from living fully, the DRX 9000® may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Offered right here in Clifton, NJ, at Clifton Spine & Physical Therapy (CSPT), this FDA-cleared technology provides a gentle, non-surgical option for people who have tried rest, medication, and even traditional traction with limited success.
What is the DRX 9000®?
The DRX 9000® is a computer-controlled spinal decompression table that precisely applies negative pressure to the lumbar spine. By cyclically lowering intradiscal pressure, the system helps:
Enlarge the disc space and create a modest vacuum that draws bulging or herniated material back toward the center of the disc.
Reduce nerve compression, easing radiating leg pain and numbness.
Improve nutrient exchange, promoting a healthier disc environment for long-term healing.
Clinical studies have documented reductions in pain scores and MRI-verified decreases in herniation size after a typical course of 20–24 sessions.
What to Expect During Treatment
Personalized Assessment – Dr. Michael T. Pogorelec, Chiropactic Physician, first reviews your health history, imaging, and goals to confirm you’re a good candidate.
Comfortable Session – You’ll lie fully clothed on the DRX 9000®. A padded harness stabilizes your pelvis while the table gently glides to apply distraction forces calibrated to your body weight. Most patients feel only a mild, relaxing stretch.
20-Minute Visits – Each session lasts about 20 minutes, followed by therapies such as electric-stim and heat to relax muscles and enhance circulation.
Progressive Protocol – Treatments are scheduled three to five times per week over four to six weeks. Many people notice significant relief within the first few visits, with maximum benefit unfolding by program’s end.
Who Benefits Most?
Lumbar disc herniations or bulges
Degenerative disc disease
Facet joint syndrome
Sciatica or radiating leg pain
Relapse after spine surgery (failed–back syndrome)
The DRX 9000® is non-invasive, drug-free, and poses minimal risk, making it an attractive alternative before considering injections or surgery. Patients with severe osteoporosis, spinal fusion hardware, or certain tumors may not qualify, so a thorough evaluation is essential.
