Is Non-surgical Spine Decompression Therapy Considered A Back Pain Procedure Alternative?
With millions of lumbar pain sufferers worldwide seeking out alternative ways to find chronic lumbar pain relief, non-surgical lumbar decompression therapy arises. Non-surgical decompression therapy therapy has successfully treated many lumbar pain sufferers who received unsatisfactory results with customary therapy methods such as bed rest, physical therapy, pain medications, acupuncture, surgery and traction. As new clinical research presenting the positive outcomes of this form of treatment continues to arise, it may not be long before it is widely considered to be an effective modality for chronic lumbar pain conditions.
In a clinical research study published in Pain Practice, patient outcomes indicated that chronic low back pain improved with treatment on the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System™.
The study titled, “Treatment of 94 Outpatients With Chronic Discogenic Low Back Pain with the DRX9000: A Retrospective Chart Review,” indicated that patients with a mean pain duration of 535 weeks (Over 10 years) reported a mean verbal numerical pain intensity rating equal to 6.05 on a 0 to 10 scale prior to treatment with the DRX9000™.
Patients underwent therapy at four clinics throughout the United States. They underwent 30-minute DRX9000 sessions daily for the first 2 weeks reducing to 1 session/week.
After the end of the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System treatment, the mean verbal numerical pain intensity rating decreased to a statistically and clinically significant rating of 0.89.
Moreover, patients also described a decrease in analgesic use and improvement in activities of daily living.
The authors were able to follow-up at a mean 31 weeks with 29 patients and reveal mean values of 83% improvement in back pain and satisfaction of 8.55 on a 10-point scale. None of these 29 patients reported requiring surgery. The authors also acknowledge that there are other spinal decompression tables available commercially. However, they suggest that the design difference between these devices, “may lead to differing physical responses to therapy, so studies of one type of apparatus should not readily be applied across all machines.”
As more clinical research demonstrating positive results utilizing this form of treatment are released, the question may no longer be whether it’s effective but rather who is currently offering it.
