DRX9000 for L5 Lumbar Disc Herniations

San Francisco Spinal Decompression Doctor Comments:

Axiom_marketing_dvd_109_2The most common lumbar disc to herniate is the L5-S1 disc. The L5-S1 spinal disc is the disc in between your 5th lumbar vertebrae and the sacrum...your tail bone.

The L5-S1 lumbar disc absorbs more load than the other lumbar discs (L1-L4) and therefore is more prone to injury.

Most of the patients that we treat at Executive Express Chiropractic in downtown San Francisco have a primary disc herniation at L5-S1. Our method of treatment is the DRX9000 lumbar spinal decompression machine, made by Axiom Worldwide.

Not everyone that has a herniated lumbar disc needs spinal decompression...only those that do not respond to conventional chiropractic care, physical therapy, or other conservative treatments. I usually give chiropractic a fair chance to deliver results...but if chiropractic fails to achieve a favorable outcome, we consider lumbar decompression with the DRX9000.

Md_news_photos_011If the herniated disc is at L5...we set the machine to target the L5-S1 disc level. The DRX9000 is able to actually isolate on a specific spinal disc...unlike regular traction which pulls everything.

How hard we pull is determined by your body weight, your overall physical condition, and whether or not you are in acute pain or not. Typically, we start off very easy and work our way up. Usually patients enjoy the DRX sessions...some even fall asleep. My patients tell me it sure beats cortisone injections.

Anyway, if you have been diagnosed with a herniated lumbar disc at L5-S1, and would like to find out if you qualify for the DRX9000...you can find a doctor near you by going to www.axiomworldwide.com. They have a doctor finder tool.

If you live or work in the SF Bay area and would like a complimentary consultation at Executive Express Chiropractic at the San Francisco Embarcadero Center...simply call 415-392-2225, press 1 (24 hr live operators). Ask to meet with Dr. Eben Davis. You can also email me at ebendavis@yahoo.com
