Axiom Worldwide Release: New Case Study Shows a Dramatic Decrease in Disc Lesion Size after Treatment on the DRX9000(TM) True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The DRX9000™ was created to provide relief of LBP (low back pain) caused by herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and facet syndrome. A new case report underwritten with a grant from Axiom Worldwide is now featured in Volume 3, Issue 1 of the US Musculoskeletal Review 2008. The case study titled, Management of Discogenic Low-back Pain with a Non-surgical Decompression System (DRX9000™) – Case Report, reveals the pre- and post-MRI findings of a 31-year old male with a history of low back pain. Prior to treatment with the DRX9000, an MRI of the lumbar spine revealed a left paracentral disc extrusion at L5/S1 that was compressing and displacing the left S1 nerve root. In addition, degenerative disc disease was noted at L4/5 and L5/S1. The patient also reported an overall pain level of 9 on a 0-10 scale. The patient underwent 27 treatments on the DRX9000 over a seven-week period and at his final treatment he reported a pain level of 3 that occurred only 30% of the time. Follow-up MRI “demonstrated a dramatic decrease in the size of the disc lesion as well as the compression placed on the left S1 nerve root.” The authors conclude, “Clinical and imaging data continue to emerge providing further validation of the safe and effective treatment of disc-related LBP utilizing the DRX9000.”
