San Francisco Chiropractor and Herniated Disc Doctor Comments:
It sure would be nice to know in advance if spinal decompression therapy with the DRX9000 would actually help fix your back problem. But...in reality...there is just no way to know for sure.
In fact, at this point all there is are a bunch of testimonies of happy patients that found relief...and some old (not double blind peer reviewed) research studies done on small groups of people. Certainly not the kind of research that insurance companies want to see before they cover part of the costs...which is why the DRX9000 is not covered by insurance...YET.
But, there is research in the works at the Mayo Clinic. A pilot study was just done and the findings were really good...they support the clinical results that are being obtained in doctors offices. This may lead to double blind studies. This is good stuff...but it takes a while to get done. In the meantime chronic back pain patients will just have to pay out of pocket for nonsurgical spinal decompression.
Hey...even if the double blind studies give the insurance companies what they need to include the DRX9000 and the other decompression machines in their system...it still does not mean it will actually work for you. Nothing works for everyone. And yes...plenty of folks do the entire treatment and do not achieve a favorable outcome...that's just the way it is...research or no research.
But decompression is drugless...and nonsurgical...so it's very safe. This is good. Patients in really bad shape that feel like they have tried everything for their back pain...haven't until they have tried spinal decompression. I guess that's why they do it. Yes...some will wait until there's research to support their decision...but others want to find out now. The choice is yours :)
If you would like to discuss your case to find out if you may be a candidate for nonsurgical spinal decompression with the DRX9000...simply call 415-392-2225 and ask for a complimentary consultation at our San Francisco Chiropractic and Decompression Center.
