Spinal Decompression Therapy with the DRX-9000®

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment option designed to reduce pressure on spinal discs and irritated nerves. At Flagship Healthcare, we use the DRX-9000® spinal decompression system in Erie PA, as part of a comprehensive spine care program for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or injections.

Unlike traditional traction, the DRX-9000® provides computer-guided, segment-specific spinal decompression, allowing for precise unloading of targeted spinal levels.


How Spinal Decompression Works in Erie PA

Spinal discs can become compressed, bulge, or herniate over time, placing pressure on nearby nerves and contributing to back pain, neck pain, sciatica, numbness, or weakness.

Spinal decompression therapy with the DRX-9000® may help by:

  • Reducing pressure within affected spinal discs
  • Relieving nerve root irritation
  • Supporting disc hydration and nutrient exchange
  • Improving spinal mobility and function

Treatment sessions typically last 20–30 minutes and are delivered in a structured series based on individual findings.


Conditions That May Benefit from Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy may be appropriate for individuals experiencing:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica or nerve-related pain
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Chronic neck or low back pain
  • Symptoms that have not responded to conservative care

Not all patients are candidates. A clinical evaluation is required to determine appropriateness.
